"We need to do more than just get checks and balances back. We also need to have a system that permanently enshrines a limited executive whose power derives from a robust multiparty legislature." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-american...

Definitely a lot more to walk out of your door and go do than HP or UP

As child of the Dallas suburbs and a Dallas proper-ite now, I will say that I enjoy my QOL in and around the M Streets, Henderson, Greenville area in east Dallas. But I’m 28 with no kids, so walking to a bar from my house at 5 on a weekday is my version of peak QOL.

glancing through this, it basically follows that path of ilan wurman's "scholarship," ignoring the actual text and legislative record in favor of the basic assertion that the plain meaning of the text *can't* be true.

Might be in a-fib. Do you have an Apple Watch? It can do an EKG on you and tell you if you’re in a-fib.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

No one is above the law, except for every single Republican politician and activist convicted of a crime over the last decade because Trump has pardoned all of them or commuted their sentences.

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.

I think it is about time that Democrats started familiarizing themselves with Lincoln’s response to Dred Scott instead of accepting the tacit premise that whatever a bare majority of the Supreme Court decides, dictates our constitutional fate

Bernie should say it out loud. Make some people pause

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

The prerogative state (whims of the Leader) is crowding out the normative state (the rule of law). That's how fascism works.

Correct on all counts

Congress no longer holds the power of the purse, the executive can just do whatever they want with federal monies

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

If your claim is that a neighborhood in rural Mississippi is as poor as Cuba then you should have said that. That is probably true!

The idea that the US as a whole is as poor as Cuba (or some other unnamed “third world countries”) is…much less supported.
