When Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson made this point, the response was basically: PACs are different. Trust us! 🤦🏾♀️

The point here: if the SCOTUS holds that such limits violate political parties’ First Amendment speech rights, then PACs with their unlimited spending and court-protected 1st Am political speech rights will be next. Then it’s unlimited spending everywhere. How is that pro- democracy?
I respect Noel Francisco as a Supreme Court litigator. But how he can say that ending limits on political parties coordinating with campaigns somehow "benefits democracy itself" or that the cash Elon poured into party coffers before getting unsupervised control of DOGE wasn't quid pro quo. Wut?

They were so busy bragging about the murders to look tough—performing toughness—that they never paused to consider that they were bragging about murder.
Why would they?
They’re so rarely held accountable.

They made a mistake from the beginning, not just morally but tactically, in gleefully releasing all their boat murder snuff films and blasting them out wall-to-wall so everyone sees them a million times. Can hardly plead now 'no, this one would be too gruesome, we don't release that kind of stuff.'
NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.
"It's bad," Smith says.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military.
That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.
