and then we have to elect Vance again in '32 for the same reason. And another republican in '36 for the same reason and oops all my rights are gone now.
I mean genuinely, I think the country is doomed with a bad democrat. However with Vance there’s the tiny chance that his presidency is lame duck enough to not do much of evil. Like trump 2016z

lolol so great to make litigants handhold samuel alito and provide this so that he can simply refuse to recuse anyway whenever he feels like it, as there are no consequences if he does so.
NEW: The Supreme Court will begin requiring litigants in March to list the stock ticker for each party involved in a case to make it easier to check if a justice has a conflict of interest that might require recusal. #SCOTUS

Weird how the federal government acting like ICE agents can do whatever they want led to ICE agents believing that they can do whatever they want
Two ICE officers were put on leave and are under criminal investigation for potential perjury in a shooting in Minneapolis last month.

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.
