I can't look at Stephen Miller without thinking that he's consumed by anger because his family's wealth and social status prevented him from becoming what he really wanted to become: a serial killer.

I'm puzzled. Which of Trump's constituencies is really interested in his private war against Venezuela?

Watch @jamellebouie.net's video, which is very informative, but also note that there are many good reasons for Supreme Court expansion apart from trying to achieve progressive political outcomes. It would be a better, more defensible institution if it were bigger. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Mute, mute, muting all Bill Clinton defenders.
Rejecting Bill Clinton since he was credibly accused of assaulting several women (including Paula Jones) and also threw Monica Lewinsky under the bus in the 1990s. Further disgusted since the 2000s with his paling around Epstein.
You're welcome.

Sunstein posted an admirably frank essay yesterday on the Unitary Executive Theory:
How he participated in this elite bipartisan political consensus —
and how he has been persuaded by overwhelming historical evidence that he & other high-ranking lawyers were wrong.

Our problem seems to be that Trump misunderstood the sense of the word "execute" when the Constitution states that the president "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”
