“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court

The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

This is why I know that Marcy's Ball of Thread series is so crucially important right now. America is selling out Ukraine and all our allies, and the only Americans who will benefit are named Trump and maybe Wikoff.

This privately funded and constructed “ballroom” is going to be so full of foreign surveillance devices, it’s going to have to be torn down by the next president as a matter of national security — which, happily enough, constitute magic words that make anything a president wants to do legal.

Hegseth is a peacock & a buffoon, so it's easy to laugh or write him off. But I fear that when the history of the collapse of Amer democracy under Trump 2.0 is written, Hegseth's ideological & relig consolidation of the military may be one of the most devastating & consequential developments. 4/

Hegseth also announced a new Office of Religious Affairs that will report directly to him, another tentacle of this effort. When will American news media actually interview experts around the world in religious nationalism & democracy to accurately report how perilous this is? 3/

In a religiously diverse democracy, military should come from, represent, & defend every community. Hegseth's ongoing use of relig imagery sends a clear message: "Hardline Christian nationalists welcome. Others not." This ideologization of the military is one step toward a future military coup. 2/

In his "State of the Force" speech today, Pete Hegseth managed to wedge in 2 notable Christian nationalist phrases: "appeal to heaven" & "putting on the full armor of God." Both of these represent a very dangerous & anti-democratic conflation of military service & religion. 1/

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

The Schmitt thing is kind of scary because it shows just how much many elected Rs genuinely believe the crazy stuff. He and his staff thought they’d pulled the red thread on The Giant Conspiracy. They were so convinced it must be real they didn’t even think to double check.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Schmitt: We had information Jack Smith was at a basketball game. There was only one NBA game that night which is why I asked him if he was in Atlanta.
That's what these hearings are for. You ask questions, you get answers. Smith has perjured himself before, but... maybe he's a Caitlin Clark fan. We'll accept that.x.com/Acyn/status/21...

You put your money in a savings account & get paid on average 0.37% interest, according to FDIC data. The bank can then put your cash at the Fed & get paid 4% interest. Bank lobbyists have blocked the bill to let you cut out the middle man & put your cash at the Fed. This is called "capitalism."
