We have an opportunity to look for broader solutions than the binary quagmire that this narrow version of democracy affords.
Bezos will have them pull it down now
We live now in a world where no one would be at all shocked by the above “headline.” JFC.
uphold the Constitution then issued executive orders that contravene the Constitution.
American history 1 can tell
You that.. high school probably not
Maybe you can ask him to join here.Many have left and are leaving "x".
The disappointment is beyond words
Can’t get to your WaPo piece because I cancelled my subscription in November (can I cancel again)?
But I renewed my Society for the Rule of Law membership.
It breaks my heart.
Used to adore him, but he's just a very intelligent hired gun for anyone, including defending the exploitation of brown children in poor countries.
Yes.
Some Reich-wingers, allied with MAGAts, consider Black People to be merely "13th Amendment Citizens" - not *real* Citizens - and their plan *IS* to eliminate the 13th through 27th Amendments, one at a time, in reverse order, to return the Government to its pre-Civil War status......
Yet, here we are.

Second, you might want to read about how white folks arriving here became citizens in the days before we had any restrictive immigration laws.
If the mother later becomes a naturalized citizen are her children still stateless?
Who benefits from creating so many stateless people?
Think it through. It's cruel.
That is not true. Please do not repeat that MelonFelon47 talking point to others who may believe it.
You can find a list of countries with birthright citizenship here (and many other places): https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-with-birthright-citizenship
The Constitution only matters if we assume that the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court intend to abide by the Constitution.
Unfortunately, that's very very unlikely now.
The Blue Team has power in numbers, skills, intelligence and organizing. Somehow we will leverage that to our advantage!
Look at how Alito twisted himself to justify his Roe vs Wave opinion - you may oppose abortions as a conservative and we respect that, but the (lack of) logic in his opinion!
We respect you and Neal for your scholarship and intellect. Mind boggling you guys think the Constitution as guarded by Thomas, Alito, Barret, Kavanaugh matters any more!
Eg Trump deports birthright citizens whose parents were undocumented.
They sue.
You are their atty.
They win
Trump doesn’t let them back into the country.
Then what happens?
How on earth does he do that?
Does he understand that if he stays, he has lost all credibility and should never speak for anything principled ever again?

How are the kids?
Is that just for men or do you pay real money for that hair.
Welcome to the left bench, but you were traded here from the arch enemies so take your lumps.
Also, call your kid.
They spend more energy on social media in a custody battle over who is an American than they ever did over their own kid
She emancipated. God bless her
He doesn't get a pass just because he dislikes Trump.
He's exploiting those that think he is a poster child for MAGA rehabilitation to sell books and t shirts
He's never apologized for the large part he played over decades bring this hell in to 3xistanc3.
He's just as much of a hipporcrit
Trump talks to his ex wife and his kids more than he does
tRUmp talked it up quite a bit in his first campaign:
