@danielsgoldman.dg4ny.co: "In order to neuter the authority of the courts to enforce their orders, the Republicans put a provision in that makes it harder for courts to enforce their position, their orders, and therefore makes it easier for Donald Trump to continue his lawlessness."

Now that Trump has blasted Leonard Leo, don't let the right wing sanitize the Federalist Society. Its members have been supporting voter suppression for years, its judges are among the hardest on voters. What will come from Trump now will be far worse, but do not judge democracy on a curve.

Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.

Continuing my walk down memory lane: Remember the time Justice Alito spoke with Trump by phone to ask a favor—hire a former law clerk— just as Trump's request that the Court prevent an NY state judge from sentencing him following conviction by jury was filed? joycevance.substack.com/p/the-final-...

Also, that time Justice Thomas sat on the Trump v. U.S. case where the Court gave Trump broad criminal immunity in a 6-3 decision, even though Thomas' wife had been very pro-Jan 6 protests. How quickly a president's crazy makes a country forget joycevance.substack.com/p/trump-must...

As Australia enter colder months, #covid is making headlines, this time due to a new variant: NB.1.8.1. Last week, the WHO designated NB.1.8.1 as a “variant under monitoring”, owing to its growing global spread and some notable characteristics which could set it apart from earlier variants.

Originalism never was about the Founders’ actual “original intent.” It’s always been about ignoring their actual intent and papering over it with a thin facade of anti-federalist rhetoric, pro-royalty wants and Confederate desires.
