seen some folks asking about lawyers who help federal employees so:

1. obviously, you can call us. we'll try to fit you in considering ~everything~

2. go to MWELA.org. that's the plaintiff's employment bar association in the DMV. go to NELA.org nationally. search for lawyers who do federal work.
… what

very interesting argument that challenges the way Bruen locks us into 18th century policy choices
The clash is clear--Bruen says every law today must find support in past positive law. It erases past powers simply because they went unexercised, infringing on the 10th Am's express reservation of those same powers.

the thing we've learned* is that there were only a handful of principled libertarians and maybe less than a handful of principled neocons.

those people remain on the correct side of fighting authoritarianism, even if we don't agree on policy.

* honestly it was always pretty obvious
Yes, I take that NYT article about libertarians warning ppl about Trump personally. I was there. I saw it happen. Some libertarians did. Many did not, and mocked and fired those who did. Including the author of that goddamn article.

I guess the implication here is supposed to be that we shouldn’t tarnish the good name of conservatives by associating them with Nazis to which I say [waves arms at the last 50 years]
I beg you. Stop. Calling. Them. "Conservatives."
That was a real wedding during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. His reps confirmed the happy couple are irl in love. And yet, conservatives still said the show was an affront to American values.

bill simmons is somewhere saying racist shit about bad bunny and comparing the pats’ performance to some crash out that happened on road rules in 2002
Oh god I just thought about how upset Dave Portnoy must be right now and everything just got a little better.
