How pathetic is Sen. Thom Tillis? Tillis: Because of my deep respect for the survivors, I won’t vote for Blanche unless he meets with them. The survivors: Well, we had a meeting and Blanche was totally unhelpful, dismissive, and disrespectful, Tillis: I’m good.

Nothing SCOTUS does today changes the fact that MAGA Justices killed the Voting Rights Act, stole abortion rights, and let Donald Trump act like a king. Expand the Court in 2029.

Fun trick that Republican presidents can act like dictators because “unitary executive theory” but Democratic presidents aren’t able to govern because “major questions doctrine”. It’s almost like those are fake things fabricated to weaponize a Republican SCOTUS majority!

Trump's MAGA lawyer's "hard-hitting positions and uncompromising manner might have turned off the justices of even a decade ago" but Roberts has "spared" him "the kind of humiliating questions" he "sometimes aimed at the Obama administration solicitor general team." Just pitching & hitting now.
