This piece is 100% accurate. A political party deserves the consequences of its self-inflicted wounds. They have no one to blame but themselves.

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

These are reasonable and they absolutely should be thought through carefully, but all such negatives have to be weighed against assessment of how bad the current Court is. It’s possible to concede essentially all the downsides and still conclude it’s the lesser evil because the status quo is worse.

Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

"Originalism" is like any other RW ideology: it's a skin suit, to create a pretext that there are consistent principles involved. The more power they gain, the less they need the skin suit. Thus Alito's "conception of law that is unshackled by restraint and focused solely on conservative victory."

Here is Trump's "policy" about investigative steps before an election: 1. If you are a Republican, there is never a time when such steps are permitted. 2. If you are a Democrat, there is never a time when such steps are forbidden. If legacy media is suggesting anything else, they are lying.

Trump's DHS raids Rep. Omar's home because of paperwork filled out by her late father in 1995. The Trumpists are desperate. But loyalists at powerful agencies of the executive branch will obey orders. Desperation is dangerous. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.
