Good show. A note for @NevilleD35: You kept saying Phillips won his case. SCOTUS only ruled the CO Civil Rights Division acted with animus towards Phillips. Whether he has to bake the cake or not is still an open question.
@NevilleD35 Also @owillis gives the game away with "you can have your religious beliefs in the privacy of your own home, but once you step into the public square you're going to get railroaded." This country was founded on preventing this from happening.
And it doesn't matter if the cake is for a gay wedding or a Nazi rally. The govt doesn't make distinctions over which speech is good and thus must be forced or not.

It's a sad state that our ideological fights have to take place taking away education paths for 18 year olds.

Score one point for Team Left, I guess.
God help me if I'm ever so caught up in politics I celebrate taking out an 18 year old on the other side like a pawn in a chess game.
An 18yo could kill somebody and the left would argue their brains are still developing and they can't be held responsible for that.

Is anyone other than Candace Owens arguing for banning flag burning? If not why do we care what she says?
Oh

If the idea was getting some traction beyond the nutty right then I'd be worth getting into it again.

Oh God. This is going to get the "fire in a crowded theater" pedantry going again.
(It is true you can't falsely yell fire in a crowded theater and cause a panic and injuries. That this line was used in a terrible SCOTUS ruling doesn't make it false).
It's a vapid point to make, since all it's saying is that there are limits to speech. Which is something we all agree on. But it's not false.

#SCOTUS, Nov. 6, 2018.
Five minutes until a one-box day at #SCOTUS (meaning one or two decisions in argued cases).
The only #SCOTUS decision today is a unanimous one in Mount Lemon Fire District v. Guido. Ginsburg writes, affirming the 9th Circuit. Kavanaugh did not participate.

I have the receipts laid out for you on what could be one of the most influential legal battles over the next decade.

How the Trump admin pushed for a #2020census citizenship question and ended up in court👇

(I'll be at the trial in NY starting Monday.)

2. I've been following the trail of internal emails, memos released as part of the #2020census citizenship question lawsuits since June👇

3. And if you're wondering what's so important about the census👇

Update on the Census citizenship questionnaire case: DOJ Civil Rights Division Acting AAG John Gore's deposition will take place on Friday. Other outstanding depositions, with the exception of Sec. Ross (whose deposition is on hold by SCOTUS order) will take place by Sunday.
DOJ, meanwhile, is asking for the Census case trial to be put on hold — in large part b/c of comments made in Gorsuch's partial dissent from Monday night. DOJ filed a letter — documentcloud.org/documents/5018… — making the stay request on Tuesday. Here is DOJ's summary of it today:
Here is DOJ's letter from today, which was ordered by the district court to update the court on several pending matters: documentcloud.org/documents/5018… / DOJ exhibit email: documentcloud.org/documents/5018…

NEW: Trump admin is asking 1st trial of #2020census citizenship question lawsuits - scheduled to start on Nov. 5 in NYC - to be put on pause by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman until after #SCOTUS resolves the admin’s “forthcoming petition for a writ of mandamus or certiorari”👇
2. @TheJusticeDept attorneys representing Trump administration are arguing that #SCOTUS may decide a trial may not be necessary to resolve #2020census citizenship question lawsuits👇
3. Attorneys on both sides are meeting with U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman for a hearing tomorrow (Oct. 24) to discuss next steps in light of expected #SCOTUS action.

Today, the DC Circuit sided with WMATA in its fight with the Archdiocese over holiday ads, holding that WMATA did not violate the Archdiocese's First Amendment rights by rejecting their religious ads. From Judge Rogers' opinion:
Here's the full opinion: documentcloud.org/documents/4623…
Judge Wilkins joined Rogers' opinion but also wrote separately "to discuss the importance of traditional forum doctrine to protecting First Amendment values."

Women make a difference, then and now.
“As it turns out, nearly two-thirds of all known rescuers have been found to be women.”

Make your plans about how you can save our families, our country.
I’ve been repeatedly warned that I’ll destroy my career if I dare speak out, so most of my political tweets and blogs are under a different name.
BUT when a govt starts harming children and their families, I realized that speaking out for them IS my career.
I need some help
1/
I delayed my divorce until my kids were beyond custody battles, thinking I could obtain my share of our assets to move on.
I didn’t realize that divorce cts in the US (some worse than others) are set up 2 asset-strip and discard the more dependent spouse, like venture capitalists
