No, it can’t be. This is illegal and also unworkable. Stop acting like it’s a legitimate idea to be entertained

Recall how this started: 1. DOJ lawyers make outrageous argument that citizens aren't citizens 2. Federal judge rightly calls that "blatantly unconstitutional" 3. Law professor calls judge's remarks "highly embarrassing" Why should I assume "good faith" on the last part? It's plainly bad faith.

I think for a certain kind of centrist, the reality that there are Nazis in the halls of American power is simply too uncomfortable and even painful to acknowledge so they engage in some sophistry and intentional self deception that allows them to keep pretending America is innocent

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

Trump's freezing of all civil rights cases at the DOJ is not part of an anti-DEI agenda, but an anti-civil rights agenda. DOJ was founded to protect Black rights during Reconstruction. That this difference is unclear speaks to the success of conservative propagandists and the failures of liberals.

If there was such a literature, and there isn’t one to speak of, the fascist-enabling DOJ lawyers would have cited it in their briefing. A competent administration would have put the EO through OLC review before signing and any literature would’ve come up there. But of course Trump didn’t do that.

Loudermilk wants to subpoena Hutchison’s texts after she testified for the #Jan6 Committee about Trump’s involvement in the storming of the Capitol. Johnson wants him to drop the subpoena since they would expose sexually explicit texts from a GOP congressman. www.thedailybeast.com/gop-fears-ja...

Dear Cassidy Hutchinson, PLEASE release ALL the sexually explicit texts that Republicans sent to you. You don't need a reason. If you do, then "because I felt like it" is 100% legitimate.

As @jamellebouie.net said, the Constitution should not be ceded to clever lawyering. But worth noting this isn't how legal interpretation works either. If a statute takes language from an earlier statute but modifies it, you can't just pretend "oh it means the exact same thing." The change matters!

They took away affirmative action, DEI, the equal employment opportunity act, and told you it’s to center merit. Some of you actually believe you’ll finally be able to prove your worth without these things. Newsflash: it was never about merit, they just don’t want you in their spaces lol
