What Up Holmes?
Today, a Supreme Court mystery. How one judge changed his mind about free speech, how that changed all the rest of our minds, and whether it’s time to change our minds again.

New drinking game.
Watch NCIS (or other old cop show) and every time law enforcement fictionally tramples someone's rights, the first person who says "just like ICE" is exempt from drinking, everyone else drinks.
ICE is behaving like TV cops have for decades. Our fiction is part of the problem.

If we are going to be talking about the potential penalties for "sedition" then we should probably talk about potential penalties for "traitor" and whether or not those who foreswear an oath to the constitution meet that legal defintion.

I find myself watching the poor and middle class languishing under Trump. I was a Harris voter and donor. It is sad where we are.
But also am a white rich guy getting a tax cut. Just bought my first Porsche with the tax cut.
Thanks suckers? I guess. I really don't know what to do other than vote.

Bought a Tesla way back in 2016 because EVs had instant torque, because I could charge in my garage and because I believed in the vision of getting away from gasoline.
Am getting rid of that Tesla as soon as I can because the CEO dabbles in politics to the profound detriment of the United States.

Reaction to the UHC murder shows that the US wealth class is reaching its "let them eat cake" moment. Ironic this is occurring as we elected Trump for president because the rich are only going to get richer for a while.
Any guesses how long until the Republican Party flips on 2A rights?
