The Constitution means whatever the hell 5 Republican Party operatives in black robes say it means.
Ugh. SCOTUS just instructed that states lack the authority to keep federal candidates off the ballot to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment.

It is not a stretch to worry that a 2028 SCOTUS would similarly decide that states lack the authority to enforce the Twenty-Second Amendment.
President-elect Donald Trump has mused more than once that he might like to run for re-election again in 2028 and seek a third term. The Constitution's 22nd Amendment does not allow it. Here’s why. nyti.ms/48YsMZO
I am just about to place two TJ lava cakes in the oven.
I don’t know who gets off more on being a performative contrarian: Yglesias or Cilizza.

It’s a hell of a grift the Mattys Yglesias and Ezras Klein of the world have; your Davids French, your Conors Friedersdorf. So conveniently confused about the most obvious things yet so certain about the most laughable nonsense. Always interested in seeking answers, yet so allergic to finding any.
The genuinely insane thing about AI legal hallucinations is that the case names so often *sound* appropriate. High-tech or pharma sounding names for fake Fed Circuit patent cases. Seemingly traditional sounding Hawaiian surnames for a query about indigenous protections under Hawaii’s constitution.
I won’t believe we’re about to invade Venezuela for its oil until the Vice President cites the New York Times citing anonymous administration officials (i.e., the Vice President) asserting that Venezuela is a narco terrorist state.
Remember when we mocked the press for falling for the carefully cultivated everyman image of George W. Bush, Scott Brown, and Glenn Youngkin because they (respectively) owned a cattleless Texas ranch, drove a pick up truck, and wore puffy vests?
Hassett uses language (“timeout”) typically describing how you deal with a tantrum-throwing toddler.
The NY Times has been awful for my entire adult life and I’m nearly 50.
Always punching down because those people can’t deny you access.
I trust the Roberts Court as far as I can throw them.

Somewhere in the greater DC metro area, six conservative activists in black robes just smiled simultaneously.
Even the German shepherds in the original Wolfenstein were smarter than that.
The neckgina lives forever. Like the Billy Ripken baseball card.
How many times did this newspaper act as Trump’s scrivener about prices coming down on day one?
At the risk of repeating myself: “ICE delenda est.”
“Herr Hitler in the Clouds” was published two weeks before the Nazi invasion of Poland.
Privilege is the word that eluded me before coffee. Well said.
White conservatives are the only cohort whose rage is taken as a given and therefore normalized.
