Chad’s wife is a federal judge who was appointed by Trump and confirmed despite a Not Qualified rating from the ABA. She issued a nationwide block on Biden’s public transit mask mandate and also struck down a ban on guns in post offices. No complaints about activist judges from Chad then?
At #FedSoc, just-departed Bondi chief of staff and acting DOJ No. 3 Chad Mizelle urges Congress to step up campaign to impeach federal judges who've blocked Trump policies. Mizelle also rejects Roberts' stance that rulings can't be grounds for impeachment. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

It's not even remotely the worst thing here, but check out Vance, allegedly a Catholic, saying that he has nothing in common with "strangers" who move into a house next to him.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Remember when the Supreme Court gave a pass to a state that created a private right of action crafted with the purpose of evading federal law and judicial review?
States should experiment with a similar law to allow damages actions against federal agents in state court.
That'll go over well.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

"If they could snap their fingers and eliminate the ACA marketplaces altogether, they would. And they haven’t arrived at a consensus on what the insurance system would look like in their preferred world, beyond a bunch of vacuous bromides about 'choice' and 'patient-centered care.'"
Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.
