if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

Antifa?

By outlawing an imaginary terrorist organization, they can claim anyone is a member and arrest them, arrest YOU.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Federal workers keep our nation safe & provide critical services like VA care & Social Security. Trump’s focus during the Republican shutdown is finding new, cruel ways to punish them.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him
