SCOTUS To Hear Harper V. Moore Next Week

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Hopefully it'll go the way Jim suspects it will. Given the maximalist theory of the Republicans though, it seems like the cons on the court may try to salvage or apportion it so it still potentially packs a significant wallop on democracy. The Brennan center says there's is no "lite" version of this submission by the GOP so I hope and pray it is rejected in totality by a majority of the court...

Complete and Utter Silence

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Typical Rich Davis HS on a topic he's already posted about and has been thorough debunked. If the individuals named in the outrage link don't choose to respond, it's likely because they don't feel it's worth a response and/or they don't want to give oxygen to this nonsense...

Maybe you can have John Durham probe that too...

Funny how prominent Republicans don't see it the same way Rich does:
"Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters Monday that he “couldn’t disagree more” with former President Trump’s call to terminate parts of the Constitution in order to be reinstated president and said such comments present “a golden opportunity” for Trump’s rivals in 2024."

My guess is that someone else will get the nomination, and Trump will be in the background. 

There are a great number of people who I prefer.

I wish it was DeSantis but I really, really don't believe he will run.

Do you think he will?
"I don't DeSantis wants it yet."
Cognitive dysfunction at best.

"Do you think he will?"
Duh!

" Florida’s top Republican leaders say they are willing to change state law to smooth the way for Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024."

 Commenting on Desantis firing a state AG, the judge in the case brought by the fired AG had this to say about DeSantis:
"This whole thing is chock-full of animus toward [reform-minded] prosecutors," Hinkle said on the last day of a three-day trial in Tallahassee. "Florida law does not allow a governor to remove a state attorney because the governor disagrees with a state attorney's general approach."
"DeSantis declined to testify in his own defense, which O'Neil said left "a massive hole in the center of [the governor's] case."
"Judge Hinkle, meanwhile, expressed concern that no one affiliated with DeSantis contacted Warren or any of his staffers to inquire about his office's practices and policies."
"You do understand he's not getting paid -- they've taken his job," the judge told Newman while he was on the stand. "Didn't you think you owed [Warren] any due process before you suspended him for months? ... At least pick up the phone and call him?"

Animus: "Hostility"

The same thing judges across the country found at the root of Trump's cases brought against innocent parties in whatever frivolous lawsuit he brought forth and lost...

Animus: "Hostility"
No wonder Rich and the mighty righties love him...

from OpEd

"Truth in advertising, though. Mr. Trump is giving Republicans a taste of what they’re in for if they nominate him again in 2024. His presidential campaign is less than a month old. Already Mr. Trump has dined with anti-Semites and a white nationalist, while calling for himself to be reinstated as President, even if this requires the “termination” of whatever in the Constitution stands in the way. What he’ll really terminate is the GOP."
And Kevin McCarthy, the wannabe majority house speaker, said all house Republicans will have to read out loud the constitution when they're sworn in office in January.
As has been said, what he needs to do is to go to Mar A Lago and read it to Trump in his dining room...
