Celebrating the best of our moment. One day at a time.
Can you help me on this? I find it relevant to "Death by Lightning" Obvs you'd like to not have informed people replaced by dingbats, but don't we want the President to be able to replace dingbats with informed ppl. OR
Are there other ways to replace dingbats?

Why is that qualifying? Isn't the role of SCOTUS only to deal with constitutional matters?

This is a well documented issue. School boards continually lower graduation requirements because their sole KPI is graduation rates.
Just get the kids out.
It's not just mathematics. It's reading. It's science.

yeah, I'm just not there. I don't think performative politics is below anyone, I think it's destructive and inefficient Instead of representing their districts, people are performing for the base of their party. That's not how our government works.

The main thing I think about these days is that performative acts in our representatives is the worst.
Full stop after that.
You don't agree. That's cool, but at least you now understand where I'm coming from. I DO NOT think Justice Jackson is reaching a broad audience.

It's 100% performance, and we don't need performers, we need accomplishments.

Who is she sounding a warning to, that doesn't already know that warning exists? It sounds a lot like performance to my ears. I don't want performers, I want people who have a plan to do things.

You don't see an upside in medium and long-term to taking the opposite attack from what Jackson is doing? And even if you don't see that, what exactly is Jackson achieving?

I hate this. The goal in politics and SCOTUS is to win and enact, not cry about how right you are.
