Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

again, it is just arrogance. “there is one true meaning of the constitution and it can only be derived by a special caste of lawyers with a special interpretative lens and once discovered it is binding.”

so much of the conservative legal revolution seems to outright reject the idea that democratic publics legitimately constituted can fix the meaning of the constitution without formal amendment.

the president is not an elected sovereign. he does not speak for the people or embody their will, he merely represents them. if he wants to change the constitution, let him make his case.

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

also, let’s say wurman is right. well, we have had nearly 160 years of unlimited birthright citizenship that has been affirmed again and again by generations of Americans. whatever the original intent, that is what the birthright clause *means*.

their “evidence” is exceedingly narrow and exclusionary of a wide number of political actors whose views and visions shaped the 14th amendment. even if they weren’t very obviously backfilling their partisan political interests, their method is not history

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

maybe given the current political situation, finding things about which to say “the president has a point” is not only not a good look but actively bad and fucked up? Maybe maybe resist the impulse to say “well I agree with this chump” and find something else to talk about instead?

When Donald Trump saw the Capitol Insurrectionists on TV, he said “I wish they didn’t look so Trashy.” Sorry, Donald, but that’s the kind of people you appeal to. In these strange times, Fascists look like Ben and Jerry (with apologies to the real B & J).

The Trump regime just got CAUGHT in a massive LIE — and they finally ADMITTED it.
After weeks of screaming “fake news,” the White House just CONFIRMED that the second U.S. strike in Venezuela DID happen… and it was authorized by Pete Hegseth himself — Trump’s handpicked warmonger.

One of the many things that irritates me about monster-sized trucks is when they park right in front of a store and take up 2 spots. Even worse is when they park to take up 4 spots. Saw both today.
