Oh no. Oh no, no, no. The greatest of all Mets.

Both Thomas & Alito have already told the Solicitor General that they believe she's misleading the Court. Never heard Thomas do that. Roberts told her SCOTUS is not "best situated" to decide evolving medical treatment questions.
Alito arguing that Bostock involved "particular language in a particular statute," whereas this case is under the Equal Protection Clause. Clearly an argument aimed at Gorsuch.
Prelogar: Classifying by pregnancy is not a proxy for sex.

LOL.

"Why should a candidate for office think people tuned in to a debate to hear him rather than the moderators?"

There's a sense of entitlement here, but it's not Vance's.
Nobody remembers the moderators from the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Because they didn't have any.
As a rule, if you moderated a debate & people remember the moderation, you didn't do your job.

1. How ignorant & wrong is @stuartpstevens? Let us count the ways. To begin with, it's the law that defines crimes. It doesn't matter what the jury thinks of the facts if the judge & prosecutor are wrong about the law.
2. If he read the indictment, "statement of facts," bill of particulars, decisions by Acting Justice Merchan, & jury instructions, as I have (guess what: those are all in the public record), @stuartpstevens would know that the legal theory was bonkers as well as undisclosed in the indictment nationalreview.com/2024/02/its-no…
@stuartpstevens 3. If we're playing this game, @stuartpstevens, how many of the Section 175.05 & 175.10 cases have you read? I've done a ton of research on this, written up @NRO. The central element of the crime was never supported by evidence or even allegations nationalreview.com/corner/new-yor…

Not having kids is like not serving in the military, not having been poor, not being a woman, not being religious, not having run a business, not being a doctor, lawyer, cop...you're always entitled to be heard. But you should consider that your analysis misses something others know from experience.
It's un-American to say anybody doesn't get to have an opinion on any issue because of their identity or experience. But a little humility is always in order on things other people have lived through & you haven't.
So, the modest version of Vance's point is correct; the more extreme framing of it is not. But then, every progressive who says "only women can have opinions on abortion" is making the more extreme argument.

The question isn't who's mad, George, it's who's wrong. You're wrong. The notion that the Appeal to Heaven flag is a symbol of insurrection against Washington (as opposed to a symbol of insurrection against George III) is a post hoc partisan-hack invention. To compare it to the swastika is shameful minimization of Nazism. See below:
Just consider some of the places this flag flew without controversy before May 22, 2024, when people like @gtconway3d became obligated to pretend, retroactively, that it had for years been EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE HOLOCAUST:
The flag is still flown in annual commemorations of its origin in New Hampshire:

Thomas: So, this presidential immunity...where does it come from in the Constitution? There he goes again asking about that pesky Constitution.
Thomas asks how you tell what acts are covered; Roberts follows up asking directly about bribery for an official act. Sauer tries to separate the bribe from the official act.
Sauer: you review the indictment after removing the official acts. Roberts: how do you tell a bribe was in exchange for the official act, then?
