Media, business, politics, you name it -- this country is led by weak, feckless cowards. Our elite, our best & brightest, our leaders, are fucking pathetic. That's the problem. One more bit of evidence isn't going to change that. Feh.

I just watched 10 minutes of Blumenthal on msnbc and now I’m surprised that Democrats don’t hold even fewer offices.

Yes, that very awkward wording suggests that Alito failed to refer the application to the full Court and the Chief stepped in and brought it "before the Court" before the planes could depart.
Thanks for this! Is it significant that the order begins, "There is before the Court an application," rather than, "The application presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court"? Was the usual procedure bypassed?

I was on Senate Floor in October 1991 when Congresswomen marched over to protest the handling of the Thomas nomination. In the next cycle, incumbents lost primaries and women Senators were elected. I encourage House Democrats to make a similar protest tomorrow. @aoc.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov

I have to say: Chuck Schumer is a weak man and a fool. This was the one cudgel Dems had. Now it's up to the courts which we new from the beginning were at best going to slow some things down. There's 18 hours left to somehow bring additional pressure to bear. It will be really hard to do that.

This is horseshit. If you fear protests will lead to martial law then you already live under martial law — and you’re the one who declared it.
Plus, it *won’t* lead to a declaration of martial law and the fear misconstrues the nature of the threats we face.

"activist leaders have told him and colleagues that they fear protests against Trump might eventually be used as a predicate for declaring martial law. Other House Democrats echoed this privately"

Who are you talking to right now? Me? Am I supposed to go handle things? What the fuck do you actually do?
History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.
Let’s not become one of them.

If nothingness were constrained by physical law, “why something” would be a sensible question
Why does our universe have something instead of nothing?
In order to figure out how something came from nothing, we first need to explore the different types of nothing
