"In doing so, the Supreme Court has risked the results of future elections and has guaranteed more judicial meddling in Constitutional powers solely vested to state legislatures."
"Roberts would never let it happen. He calculates political winds and currents of public opinions to maneuver the Supreme Court to a safe destination of his choosing."
"As observed by @varadmehta and @Vermeullarmine , “By striving so conspicuously to depoliticize the Supreme Court, he has brought about the very thing he hoped to prevent: No one has done more to politicize the court than the chief justice.”
"But it’ll take another case in another election for the Supreme Court to reach that decision. For the majority on the Roberts Court, this case is too contentious and the 2020 election is too dangerous to touch."

'Mr. Cuomo’s order led to more tragic, unnecessary deaths than reported. His admin appears to have engaged in a coverup to fed govt oversight. NY's apparently false statements about nursing-home deaths misled public-health officials.' wsj.com/articles/why-c…
"But New York officials knew the data they reported to CMS only went back to mid-May. The Cuomo administration misled the public when it relied on that data to claim in late September that the state’s total nursing-home deaths were low."
"New York may have engaged in a conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and its agencies and possibly obstruct justice, among other crimes."
Molly Jong-Fast, Wilson’s podcast cohost: “There have been so many controversies around the Lincoln Project, we mutually agreed with Rick to pause his podcast appearances until at least the internal investigation is resolved."
Well I guess Molly does not have herself an NDA to worry about then, seeing as she was an unpaid "adviser".
"As more people have been infected, most of whom have mild or no symptoms, there are fewer Americans left to be infected. At the current trajectory, I expect Covid will be mostly gone by April, allowing Americans to resume normal life."
"All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus. Now they don't. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns."
"They literally know nothing."
Who would declare a fireworks display as something that would, "shake our foes"? Matt would. He's basically who Ben Rhodes described in 2016
"The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old...
They literally know nothing."
Well worth reading again the NYT piece on Ben Rhodes.
"Now the most effectively weaponized 140-character idea or quote will almost always carry the day, and it is very difficult for even good reporters to necessarily know where the spin is coming from or why."
Watch this 9 year old push back against his teacher and remember, conservatives have the fertility advantage. You’re going to see more pushback: the parents who sit at the kitchen table gave Trump approx 74M votes and that is over 7M more than any sitting president in history.
