"The conservative justices [on The Supreme Court] professed concerns over the implications of their rulings for imaginary future presidents, in imaginary future proceedings, seemed more important to them than bringing Trump to justice." - R Marcus

The Supreme Court has underminded American democracy because of its apparent desire to run out the clock in the Trump presidential immunity case.

There is a legal stench that runs from the AZ Supreme Court, to Judge Cannon, to The Supreme Court.

Trump's "position" on abortion rights, like his positions on everything, is no position. That's because he doesn't believe in anything but his wealth and escaping accountability.

"As usual, [Trump is] trying to have it both ways by taking credit for getting rid of Roe v. Wade while washing his hands of the consequences. That might work on some issues, but not on abortion."- E Robinson
07:45 AM - Apr 09, 2024
It's time to remove Judge Cannon from the Trump document case and move her to traffic court in Florida. She obviously is over her head and is strongly biased in favor of Trump.

Trump has no boundaries. He doesn't even know what that means. He ignores gag orders. It's past time that the courts get serious about his behavior with strict consequences.

A few thoughts for the news media:
1. If a politican is lying, don't call it a "response". Call it for what it is: a lie.
2. Stop your obsession with polls and instead focus on Trump's fascism.
3. America will thank you for this.

The hard lesson that NBC learned from the Ronna McDaniel fiasco is that it is virtually impossible to find a "normal" Republican to hire.
08:58 AM - Mar 27, 2024
NBC hires Ronna McDaniel, election denier, for "political analysis".
Coming next: Clarence Thomas to host "Let's Make A Deal".

It appears Judge Cannon missed law school classes on the Espionage Act and Presidential Records Act from her insane filing! She is basically asking lawyers to give her a tutorial, so she can make a decision of some kind.

If you had told me years ago that Dick Cheney, Liz Cheney, Mike Pence, Mitt Romney, Chris Christie and Adam Kinzinger wouldn’t be supporting the Republican nominee for President I would’ve never believed you.

10:02 AM - Mar 14, 2024
"[Many Trump] voters are so cynical and resentful they look at politics as a primal scream. They appreciate Trump for letting them air their worst selves." - J Rubin

"Republicans were left complaining about Biden’s sharp and partisan tone, which, for a party beholden to Trump, is transparently disingenuous." - Bill Scher (Washington Monthly)

"Justice Samuel Alito says, “I do think the Constitution means something and that that meaning does not change,” what he means is that the Constitution changes to mean what he would like it to mean." - Adam Serwer

"Mark Graber, a University of Maryland constitutional law scholar who last year published a book on the history of the 14th Amendment, said the justices appeared focused on the real-world implications of a ban but that the legal basis of the decision was thin."

"MAGA is a movement largely for and by white Christian nationalists who insist they are the “real” Americans. It will be up to Democrats to remind voters: Trump is the champion of white supremacy." - J Rubin

I've had little faith in The Supreme Court since December 12, 2000, when they handed our country over to George Bush . Current Court makes no bones about their allegiance, and it is not the Constitution.
08:58 AM - Feb 29, 2024
It took over two weeks for The Supreme Court to decide to take the case they refused to take last year when Jack Smith made an expedited filing. And now they set oral arguments for the end of April. Their lack of principles, legal or moral, is astonishing.

"[Republicans] are afraid to say or do anything, lest Trump attack them on Truth Social and end their political careers. We have rarely seen such craven profiles in cowardice." - E. Robinson

Charles Blow on the Alabama Supreme Court re: frozen embryos: "The idea is absurd and unscientific. It is instead tied to a religious crusade to downgrade the personhood of women by conferring personhood on frozen embryos."

"From slowing the trial to a crawl to forcing the release of documents that expose witnesses to threats, [Judge Cannon] has demonstrated a clear pattern of bias. Smith has nothing to lose by filing an emergency appeal and motion to recuse." - J Rubin
12:43 PM - Feb 14, 2024
"[Trump's] outrageous threats and diabolical visions are abnormal, frightening and undemocratic. That most Americans have no idea how bad he can be is attributed to a blinkered media set on a single narrative that President Biden is old" - J Rubin
12:39 PM - Feb 14, 2024
"In short, both Thomas and Cannon pose a troublesome question: To what degree do we allow ethically challenged hacks on the bench to hijack our judicial system?" - J Rubin
09:04 AM - Feb 11, 2024
"Rumor and innuendo are the official currency in political Washington. Beltway types love to dial up reporters and give them the latest dish. There are few secrets in that town, and if Joe Biden acted like Hur says, we would all know." - D Pfeiffer
