STRAIGHT TO SCOTUS
Trump, like Republicans, focus on the nominee; Biden, like the Democrats, focus on what she’d do to access to healthcare
Trump using Ginsburg’s #WeNeedNine words against her final words
Weeeeeeeee
“I’m not even gonna listen to him”
Weeeeeeeeee
Court packing time
Biden dodges the filibuster nuke and court packing question
Trump saves Biden from his dodge
Meanwhile in Universe 2’s First Debate:
Those two seconds of dead air was the best moment of this debate
Cut the mic
Create alternate universe, hold it against opponent
Wait there isn’t a commercial break
“This isn’t the 1950s. All these dog whistles about racism don’t work anymore”
Hey Twitter does anyone have the link to that KAC hit?
Stand back and....standby?!?!?!
So gross
We need some Good Forest Management in this debate
Wallace just straight laughing at the President
“I think I’m counting on them to look at the ballots” - Trump, again, admitting he’s banking on his SCOTUS appointees to invalidate mail-in votes and hand him reelection
(If Trump is hoping his new nominee will be the 5th vote to hand a disputed election to him, he shoulda picked Lagoa)
Toxicity
Wait, you people didn’t just turn off your TV after all that?

No, these people are pushing clearly unconstitutional/illegal policies precisely because they hope this SCOTUS will be a willing partner in their reactionary revolution or will be powerless in the face of departmentalist defiance—and if the people resist then poof go elections
These people are seeking nothing short of an FDR-style constitutional revolution but without his political mandate to override the existing order—let alone return to the one FDR’s election repudiated. Image
Image
FDR was reelected by even larger margins in 1936 AFTER the old guard SCOTUS struck down his first New Deal.

Do Trump’s people actually think he’ll get the same results via an internecine war with an otherwise simpatico SCOTUS? No. Bc they don’t think they answer to the people. Image

Dude's deliberately misreading a very short, digestible, and temporary judicial order so to lay the groundwork for going full Jackson Apocrypha in service to his movement's authoritarian agenda.

Read the order for yourself:
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… x.com/JDVance/status…
These people are all but actually up in arms over the judge's restraining "political appointees" from accessing Treasury's payment system, and lying to you that it includes the Secretary and other cabinet members, when it's clearly aimed at people like the DOGEbros. Image

Image
Image
Could the judge have been clearer? Sure. But this is still clear to any plain reader. Could the order have been narrower? Sure, another judge approved such a deal between private plaintiffs and the admin over DOGEbro access while litigation played out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

aaaaand the SCOTUS TikTok args started immediately after this
Trump's first-term SG is repping TikTok to fight a law he'd likely have defended had Congress passed it before 2020
Thomas sounds like he'll vote to uphold the ban as targeting ByteDance, a foreign company

Curious if Jim Ho will renounce his defense of birthright citizenship if he thinks a SCOTUS nom depends on doing so
Didn’t matter for CA5 but SCOTUS is different…as will be the vetters this time texastribune.org/2017/10/11/jim…

The decision feels like Bruen in that it'll have the justices in subsequent cases going WAIT NO WE DIDN'T MEAN THAT except it'll be after Emperor Trump orders Kavanaugh to chew off Roberts's face in the supersized Thunderdome constructed on top of the Supreme Court building
Hahahaha what am I saying this opinion will never be cited again if dude returns to office because they'll just Weekend at Bentham him so that he'll remain immune from whatever crimes he commits while alive or dead during his eternal reign Image
If dude loses then yeah so long as this SCOTUS is similarly constituted a majority will permit any subsequent Republican DOJ to swiftly execute any past Democratic President for the nonofficial criminal acts of Winning an Election and Democrating While In Office.
