Some will wonder if this has ever been tried. A version of it is working in Switzerland.

At least one of those candidates should be nonpartisan, identified as never having donated to a party or held an office as a party member.

Everything is a spectrum. The fallacy of the free speech ideals that J.S. Mill touted is the assumption that the cream would rise in the marketplace of ideas. He didn't understand the dairy industry as much as he thought. We need pasteurization to make it safe.

It's no surprise. We need to know what the available pool looked like and what the rate was before Dobbs. Gates tried to bump diversity, but it was dropped as soon as he left.
How many avoid applying?

No, it's worse. It's about dishonoring non-white heroes.
History remains as it is. It's the stripping of the honor that matters.

This doesn’t happen in America. This is what happens in dictatorships, when federal agents silence lawmakers for asking questions. A sitting U.S. Senator was physically removed and restrained by his own government. That’s not just a breach of protocol, it’s a warning sign.

He was at the federal building earlier for a scheduled military briefing and remained on-site to observe the press conference. Despite this, agents claim they didn’t recognize him. He clearly identified himself.

- He identified himself: “I am Senator Alex Padilla,” before being physically intercepted by agents wearing FBI vests.
- Video footage shows him being shoved toward the hallway, forced face-down on the ground, and handcuffed, though he was not arrested or formally detained.

Important context:
Padilla is the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety, meaning oversight of immigration policy is literally his job.

He's very dependable, a lot like broccoli and gas.

You need to run the Nuremberg clips to remind people why.

It shouldn't matter that he's a senator.
