“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.

The Eighth Amendment is another one that has largely been, more or less, rendered dead letter law.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Whatever one’s opinion of the death penalty in the abstract, the particulars of how it’s implemented and who it’s applied to in the US are moral abominations

These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

The Eric Schmitt stuff reminded me again of the “ERIC!” endorsement from Trump in that primary, and honestly that’s up there as one of his unfortunate best.

I do not have high hopes for Ohio, and Acton sucks, but an indicator that the GOP may be in trouble on their top of tickets here is that a reliable GOP-voting relative of mine yesterday said he didn’t know who he was going to vote for in either the senate or gov race. The stay home vote is nigh.

Am I crazy or is this just the status quo?
Nick Schifrin: BREAKING: Officials on all sides who have been briefed on the US-Denmark-Greenland deal tell me they are happy with the details.
A senior State Department official and a regional official briefed on the deal say the highlights are:
- Provides US permanent basing, access, and overflight rights
- Bans non-NATO bases
- Screening mechanism for investments that would allow a block on Chinese, Russian investments
- Greenland population can choose its political future
- No territory transferred to the US

Also, people who complain about a movie or TV show going on too long after the main plot conflict has resolved are weak. Give me forty minutes of dealing with the emotional ramifications of the plot! Give me four separate scenes diving into the motivation of the antagonist! Yes!
