TODAY: Covid-19 rages through America. Over 10M people have a virus that could have damaging long term effects we don't yet fully understand. Despite this, GOPers come to SCOTUS today to dismantle ACA, the law protecting those with preexisting conditions. courthousenews.com/referendum-on-…
I will have the report for @CourthouseNews.
Oral arguments start at 10AM ET and you can catch a live-stream here: c-span.org/video/?471185-…
After oral arguments, President-elect @JoeBiden will at 2pm ET deliver remarks from Delaware on the Affordable Care Act and what his administration plans to do going forward.
More on this in my upcoming report but based on arguments today it appears most justices at SCOTUS are leaning toward retaining ACA and only removing the individual mandate at issue. The court will have until June 2021 to issue a decision.
WASHINGTON — Months of punditry and handwringing over a major Supreme Court case slated for the week after U.S. elections gave way Tuesday to two hours of arguments and a strong indication that justices will uphold the bulk of the federal health care law.

Should I bake all day?
That settles it then.
Is she pretty? Not particularly. But does she taste good? You know it. Boston Cream Pie. On request.

On 495 heading South from Maryland to VA this afternoon, this was one caravan of Trump supporters that stretched for over 2 minutes. I counted at least 45 vehicles. Minutes before I saw a smaller caravan of similar adorned vehicles, totaling roughly 12. Pardon video quality.
I also observed anti-abortion protesters standing on an overpass. They stood above traffic near a banner asking Pres. Trump to save "pre-born" babies. Another vehicle I saw was covered in red painted handprints with pro-Trump messages scrawled on its rear window and trunk.
Many of the trucks and SUVs in the first caravan had hazard lights on and were driving 10-15 miles below the speed limit in middle most lane, causing traffic to bottleneck at times or force drivers to abruptly shift lanes as they came barreling up 495 at the usual 60mph.

Once in the 1990s my brother was a waiter in a small Mississippi town. Wearing a Star of David around his neck, he was often told to hide it unless he wanted trouble. He recalled to me once being asked by a patron "Are you a Jew, boy?"
My brother quickly and confidently responded "Nope!" & headed to the kitchen to hide his necklace. The restaurant was a Jim Crow era relic with a painted KKK long faded and chipped away on the building's back exterior. He distinctly recalled that. He knew better than to backtalk.
He quit a day later for fear of the man (or men) returning to the restaurant to beat him or worse. Small town. He played classical guitar and therefore was pretty well known by locals who enjoyed his playing. He had a big mop of curly black hair. He was 6'3. Hard to miss.

Coming up: SCOTUS oral arguments today in consolidated case US v Briggs, where justices will consider whether a 5 year statute of limitation on rape charges and convictions applies in the military. More to come later for @CourthouseNews.
I will have a story for you but you can also listen here: c-span.org/video/?469260-…
Amicus from Congress supporting US: "The provisions in the USCMJ that address rape in the military have been understood for decades to reflect Congress’ intent that those who commit the crime of rape should not be permitted to escape justice by hiding behind the passage of time"

Good morning. Feel like talking about the 25th Amendment today? Join me @ 10:15AM ET on this thread & I'll break down the legislation introducing this Constitutionally-backed commission weighing a president's capacity and fitness for the nation's highest office.
@CourthouseNews
Getting close to that time for @SpeakerPelosi and @RepRaskin's press conference.
I'll live-tweet but if you want to watch along, find a stream here: c-span.org/video/?476814-…
Pulling one of the last arrows in a quiver carried by Democrats increasingly disarmed of late by Trump’s behavior since his Covid-19 diagnosis, legislation is announced triggering the 1st steps of reviewing POTUS fitness as provided by the 25th Amendment.

Per the CDC, in consultation with WH physician regarding VP Pence's possible exposure to people with Covid-19, "based on the description" of Pence's movement to his doc, Pence is *not* a close contact of any known persons with Covid Image
This seems strange if only and this is the bare minimum -because Pence was at the Rose Garden event on Sept. 26.
But the CDC says in this memo: Image
