for starters, relying on the alien and sedition acts as the source for original public meaning runs into the little problem of the alien and sedition acts being so violently unpopular that they helped deliver the presidency to Jefferson and helped inaugurate the terminal decline of the federalists

This is a startling read of history & precedent. He has a lot to distinguish. But for him, Supreme Court precedent isn't very relevant when its not tied to originalist reasoning? & the Alien & Sedition Acts are *positive* evidence for how to interpret the 1st Am? Bring back seditious libel, anyone?

IF YOU WANTED to design a quiet coup in a republic that still mouths the words “checks & balances,” you wouldn’t roll tanks down Penn. Avenue. You’d hand a volatile president a match, dress it up as “Article II,” and watch six robed partisans strike it against the wiring of the administrative state.

The problem with having rather openly purged DOJ of all but the most shameless stooges and loyalists is precisely this: Even once the Epstein files are released, why would anyone believe that release is complete and undoctored?
At this stage there’s literally no reason to believe the admin, even if it releases more than you’d expect, are being forthcoming. It’s the opposite of conspiracy theory to look at the proudly lawless pattern of deception and raw power that this trump admin has engaged in then to conclude they’d…

Trump retreats on Epstein files. Three lessons:
1. It can be easier to fracture the MAGA coalition than get "responsible" Republicans to step up.
2. Democrats should fight rather than find reasons not to fight.
3. Dems need to be anti-elitist not just anti-GOP.
