We're in the middle of a global pandemic!
"Broad-based emergency aid in the face of a massively disruptive contagious disease is really just instant gratification"
You know when it's rational to take one marshmallow today instead of two in a week?

When you're starving
There's an inflexibility to Tea Party conservative thought that is just perverse

"Why do you need government help? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and initiative!"

"You literally ordered my employer to shut down operations."

So this #PenceCard nonsense looks like it was started by @Raiklin with this tweet

The argument seems to be that Pence could have decided that electors from certain states were "impermissible" because he "is the sole plenary power" to determine that

Further, the argument goes, that under his authority to demand that states send him a list of electors if they have failed to do so, Pence could reject the list of electors as "impermissible" and demand that they send him a correct list
The only statutory authority cited by Raiklin is 3 USC 12

All it does is give Pence the authority to demand a state send him a certificate of electoral votes if they have not done so

Is he serious

FFS libs will do anything to stop coronavirus EXCEPT ban travel
Borders are bad except when they are around your home which you can’t leave now you’re welcome
Stay home for Christmas but if you need to fly to London whatever

Few people have done more damage to the Republic than Marc Elias

Weakening election integrity measures in such a polarized political climate was - and should have been seen as - clearly immoral
Almost every other first-world country runs their elections in a manner where their integrity is beyond question

We could do that and we do not
Not to mention that Elias was the guy who hired Christopher Steele

He spent three years spreading misinformation to delegitimize the 2016 election results, and then one more to undermine confidence in the 2020 election

People who are hating on Bill Barr should head over to liberal Twitter and see what they think of the man
Within the constraints of his position and the longstanding policies of the department he runs, Barr has done a ton of good for Trump personally and for the conservative cause more broadly
Barr doesn't run a star chamber, he can't just snap his fingers and jail people

He's also not a magician, he can't simply wave his hand and overturn the election results

He's de-politicized DOJ, which is what was badly needed

I've never seen anything like this
So, quick take based on reading the opinion:

Kline basically went AWOL on the litigation, his lawyers stopped representing him because he wasn't talking to them, and Kline completely failed to comply with his discovery obligations

This is the end result
The adverse inferences are devastating

In short - if this goes to trial, the judge will instruct the jury to ASSUME AS TRUE that Kline conspired to engage in racially-motivated violence

The Third Circuit just ruled on the Trump campaign's challenge in Pennsylvania

3-0 loss, opinion from three Republican-appointed judges, and written by the lone Trump-appointed judge, that has the campaign losing on basically every important point

justsecurity.org/wp-content/upl…
Campaign tried to appeal on the narrowest ground possible - whether the district court should have let them amend their complaint a second time

Leave to amend should be granted liberally

But the 3rd Circuit wasn't persuaded
Reason one why the Campaign lost - undue delay

The campaign had stressed the need to resolve the litigation by the 23rd because that was the certification deadline

Bibas writes that it can't turn around and demand time to fix its complaint now at this late date
