Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.
“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

Everybody should also shut down hard all the shit about how “can’t be elected” doesn’t mean “can’t serve” or “can’t run.” They all mean the same thing or else the constitution is just a fun little puzzle hiding corners that allow you to do whatever the fuck you want.
Part of that it can be attributed to our press.
Seldom is there any citation to the constitutional language. Take the “third-term“ debate.
The 22nd Amd. language is only 14 words and could
not be more clear:
“No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.”

He makes comments saying the particular brutality of raids are bad like once every 4-6 weeks and that’s about it. His failure to communicate on this issue and to elevate as a national issue of concern is my point. That is the purpose of my post as written. The messaging is my point, yes. Thank you.
Great example of Tiktok brain which is quickly changing all politics. It is defined thinking something isn't real unless it is presented to you in your algorithm in a very high quality short form video. Schumer has repeatedly made similar statements
Has Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, or any other high ranking minority member in either the house/senate come anywhere close to releasing a similar public statement of solidarity against the unlawful program of racial terror

Also the framers of the amendment literally said during the floor debates that they knew the jus soli birthright citizenship clause would apply to the children of immigrants from other parts of the world and that they thought that was great.

starting to feel like putting "does democracy still exist" exclusively in the hands of a profession that doesn't have any standards besides is your writing readable and do your arguments make sense to college students was an unwise idea
i feel like we have this dynamic where conservative constitutional “scholars” just like lie about the plain textual meaning of the reconstruction amendments while liberal scholars are doing the john ganz scrapbook tweet in response
This isn’t a difference of opinion. Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are straightforward liars.

What's most galling is Wurman and Barnett aren't stupid. They both know exactly how dishonest this is. Whatever their motives, and I don't really care, they're not doing scholarship in any of this. They're willful liars abusing their credentials in an aid of a lawless attack on fundamental rights.

I don't think this is a particularly bad video in that she does credit the article author extensively. My issue is that the article, which she describes as "extremely long," takes less time to read than watching the video does, and you actually get all the information
a type of content that makes me want to launch myself into space and is huge part of why everything is so bad: TikToker goes down a “rabbit hole,” makes 9-minute video. The “rabbit hole” was she found an Eater article. The Eater journalist did all the work: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTruBS8cp/

Somewhat more obscure but this is why Bivens was correctly decided. The people delegated their sovereignty to the federal government only to the extent outlined in the Constitution. If the Fed govt violates the Constitution, it acts outside its sovereignty and shouldno be able to claim immunity.
the president is not an elected sovereign. he does not speak for the people or embody their will, he merely represents them. if he wants to change the constitution, let him make his case.

It's largely lost today because we've allowed constitutional law to become the exclusive preserve of lawyers, but the original idea of written constitutionalism was partly one of public education, publicity, & (proto-)democracy—people should be able to read & come to know the law which binds them

The way the conservative justices‘ hostility to the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments’ *legitimacy* comes through (not just on doctrine or narrow interpretation) is in that they resist originalist arguments as applied to those amendments—they don’t care what John Bingham and Thaddeus Stevens said
