Let me start to answer my own question - a reading list of the use of history to square the circle of a social contract that binds people who had no input into its drafting:
- Memory and Authority, Jack Balkin
- Reva Siegel, The Politics of Constitutional Memory.

There are 11 fact witnesses. I'm pretty sure that many, if not all, of them are people who've made previously debunked election denial claims. Gonna have to look into that.
BREAKING: The supporting affidavit for the warrant to search Fulton County election records has been unsealed.

This is a key strategy of Ben and Jesse - the weaponized nit-pick.
Sometimes it’s almost funny - “c’mon, vast majority, that’s just a majority.”
Other times it’s downright insidious, like when they point out that GA treatment doesn’t reduce the # of completed suicides, just suicidality!

He continues to find nits to pick. "Vast majority" should actually just be "majority."

This point by Greg is at the core of why I don't think I can ever just accept that trans kids are going to lose access to care.
Because, you see, I was hospitalized twice for depression/suicidality when I was 16. I was on multiple psychiatric medications. My parents were wracked with worry.

As a comparison - there are VERY few suicide deaths in children. 10-20 for kids under 10, and ~500 for those 10-14. It would be CRUEL to say that last-line treatments for depression (ECT, TMS, ketamine, etc) shouldn't be given to those kids most in need of them.

The 4th Amendment, requiring that people be “secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures” that’s a nonstarter.

The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the U.S. for two decades. He had a single misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

I imagine it’s days before the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division executes a search warrant on Pretti’s former residence searching for evidence of his violating the civil rights of the poor officers who shot him.
JUST IN: DAG Todd Blanche suggested Alex Pretti shooting is under investigation by DOJ's Civil Rights Division, which indicates it is not being treated as an assault on federal officer but as a potential civil rights violation by the officers who shot Pretti.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Here though, they cite the Placer Herald newspaper as a source for the meaning of the Clause, which is in Kurt Lash’s work.
What is the Placer Herald? Why should I care about a random California newspaper? Can you at least tell me or will you launder it through the scholarship? Good grief.

I heard someone say it was “extreme” to demand the names of the ICE agents who murdered Alex Pretti.
No. Demanding government disclosure of the names of government agents when they kill Americans is moderate.
Wanting to read the names off the plaque at a mass grave would be, perhaps, extreme.

In the op-ed about how Harry Potter fans have abandoned traditional liberal values (wtf?) the author points to this poll question as one of her proofs: “political violence can sometimes be justified.”
Let me suggest that anyone who thinks the answer SHOULD be no is not a serious thinker.
