and judge pan gets at what i was gesturing towards earlier today: that this idea that the purpose of the executive branch is to effectuate the political agenda of the president is extra-constitutional. it has no basis in the text or the history for that matter!

There is no debating this point. It is not a subjective, political statement. It's a simple reality that this platform gives you absolute control over what content you see. It's liberating and worthwhile and far more important as a concept than the current political waning or waxing.

I really liked Rosedale- it wasn’t the best restaurant in the city but it was consistent and the chicken and pizza were as good as it gets.

Is this reliance on mostly for-profit insurers a good thing? Probably not. But the alternatives are
a) Replace some or all insurer-administered programs with government-administered programs
b) Un-insure tens of millions of Americans.
Republicans go for b) -- every time.

But if they needed to lose during these years what would the point be? And would he be “blossoming” on this team? I think a better argument is that they didn’t get the best first from Portland down the line and that they weren’t able to turn Brogdon into anything.

There is no chance those were two unprotected first round picks or even two likely first round picks in general. The Wiz FO would not have let Kuzma have a say in that case. At the time everyone reported the deal wasn’t attractive enough and they would do it only if Kuz wanted out.

If you have 51 votes deciding to ignore parts of the Byrd rule, you can also have 51 votes deciding to ignore other parts of it. It’s true they only ignored some of the Byrd rule this time, but the real precedent is you get to ignore the Byrd rule when you want. That opens up *anything.*
