If Germany can outlaw hate speech, so can the USA. Hate speech should NOT be protected speech in the USA. It’s past time to kick white supremacists to the curb. Domestic terrorists have no place in the USA. Stop accepting hateful rhetoric #Voices4Victory #ProudBlie

How and when exactly did a president acquire the authority to rule in all matters great and small by diktat?
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

This could probably be done with simple legislation. Article 3 says almost nothing about how the Supreme Court operates. It mentions that a chief justice will exist, but that’s about it. There are essentially no constitutional rules about how they hear or decide cases.
I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
