Max's reaction sums up a trend I'm seeing: After 2024, liberals don't care about being Norms Defenders because there are no votes there. They're gonna sit there and venerate SCOTUS while Trump/Bondi accuse any judge who rules against the admin of having TDS and hating America? Nah
I would point out that Crawford has long seen her job as justifying whatever Republicans do, but I don't have to, there's a convenient label that shows a person's statements are unreliable and unworthy of consideration: "CBS News."
NEW: Jan Crawford's attack on SCOTUS "corruption" narrative was its own substance-free narrative.
On Face the Nation, CBS News's chief legal correspondent went after Supreme Court critics as "dangerous." And yet, her court defense was completely lacking in specifics.

Why do Republicans just have to break every norm to benefit them in a future election? And simultaneously complain the system is rigged against them? Oh right…

One of my favorite presents ever—my dad found and framed this pic of my mother @sunminkimes.bsky.social at a Seattle courthouse after she passed her US citizenship test in 1981. Like so many of the people who come here to start a new life, she is the best of us—the bravest, strongest person I know.

It's impressive, in its way, to make cowardice not just part of your political identity, but ALL of it. When the book on Mike Johnson is written...it will molder in unopened cardboard boxes.

Things we learn:
1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban
2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal
3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants
And much more. Read it.

This is full-on Great Replacement Theory, the white supremacist conspiracy that fueled the 2018 Tree of Life synagogue mass shooting and the 2022 Buffalo mass shooting and more.
“…And yet there are Republican lawmakers who eagerly facilitate the disinheritance of their own children.”

You'd never know he was talking about his actual son.
Trump on his wife's legislative initiative: "I just heard about that for the first time. The only thing I can tell you, I know one thing for sure, it's going to be great for children. I don't know what it is she's doing. She loves children. She's got a wonderful boy. And she's very proud of her boy"

First of all, the prosecutor was Emil Bove, a Trump ally who just got rewarded with a lifetime appointment as a federal judge.
Second of all, he's now saying he didn't know anything about it and relied on what "people said" (Christ) but just ten days ago he was claiming he'd pored over the records.
