I think the most pressing and fundamental problem of the day is that people lack a practically effective means of sorting out questions of fact in the larger world. We can […]

Akhil Amar has been talking about this topic recently, so you don't have to go back to 1987. He's even been laying out application to current events.
Basically, NO, the federal Congress doesn't have to authorize states to pass legislation. States can do what they want legislatively […]

@abesamma Blocking a whole network because we don't like one account seems a bit weird to me though. I don't want to be cynical but I get the feeling some people were itching for a reason to block Bluesky and ICE provided that.
I dislike ICE heavily (and this is an understatement), but if […]

Well yeah, that's how you deal with trolls. Don't feed them.
Gingrich is right, the #greenland push IS just a bunch of noise, and the best way to sideline #trump is to point out what a stupid and empty effort it is. He's trying to make waves, get a reaction with the noise, and if you […]

@denisedwheeler.bsky.social You're overthinking things and giving #trump too much credit.
There's no conspiracy here, there's just Trump responding to the memes of his base, with other people profiting all the while. But he doesn't know what he's doing. He's too stupid.
He could incarcerate […]

No, that's not what #citizensunited did, though there is so much misinformation about the ruling.
In the ruling, unlimited expenditures was part of what was asked for, the SCOTUS refused, putting limits at the core of the ruling it handed down.

The thing to remember, and this is a fantastic illustration of it, is that the US administration has no spine or theory of operation. Trump is a moron who does not lead the administration. He doesn't know what he's doing, he just does whatever people tell him to do. We really […]
