This "election fraud" scam is itself FRAUD when used to raise millions. DOJ and state AG's must investigate it as such. msnbc.com/opinion/sidney…
"A minor agitator suspended by Twitter for repeatedly lying might start a GoFundMe account and complain to sympathetic donors about being 'canceled' by Big Tech. A former president, however, can open a Super PAC and rake in millions...."
What a scam. It's time to prosecute.
Since the 2020 election, I have received dozens of email solicitations from Trump or someone writing on his behalf asking for money. Most of these fundraising pitches come with false statements of fact
There are limits to free speech.
Raising money to "build the wall" when you aren't.
Lying about a past election to raise money for a PAC.
Lying about a particular event for a GoFundMe account or to raise money for a charity or organization.
Lying to get people's money is FRAUD.

This explains how Justices' connections to professors at top ten law schools are crucial for clerkships. Professors value those relationships a lot. @POTUS's Supreme Court commission was loaded with professors from top ten schools. We got what we expected. legaldesire.com/how-to-get-a-s…
When it comes to actual reform of the Supreme Court, we got from this Commission almost nothing. Five Justices can strike down an Act of Congress, as they did in Citizens United. Yet no accountability. No suggestion that Congress reform the Court. npr.org/2021/12/06/106…
There are 687 life peers in the House of Lords. Since 1911, they have not had power to veto a bill from the House of Commons.
Five life peers can veto an act of Congress in the United States by ruling it unconstitutional.
Makes sense? parliament.uk/about/living-h…
"The panel led by [Obama WH Counsel] Bob Bauer...and Cristina Rodriguez, a Yale Law School professor...cautioned that excessive change could potentially erode democracy...."
Huh?
What about SCOTUS eroding democracy by striking down campaign finance laws? apnews.com/article/corona…
We are quickly moving toward the Supreme Court saying there's a constitutional right for anyone to buy, sell and carry an AR-15, as well as to bribe public officials with electioneering communications, but a woman has no right to an abortion. This Court is going off the rails.
The Founders weren't stupid. If they had wanted there to be only nine justices, the Constitution would have said so. It doesn't. Ours is a representative democracy. If the Court mindlessly strikes down an Act of Congress (e.g. Citizens United), Congress can do something about it.
This is an excellent analysis of misguided federal higher education funding priorities since the 1970's.
Wealthy private institutions get wealthier, public institutions struggle to keep up, tuition everywhere skyrockets and the USA falls further behind. researchcghe.org/publications/w…
"Among institutions named in the [1972 Carnegie Report on Higher Education] as being in financial trouble or hardship were Stanford University, Tulane University, Boston College, New York University and Harvard."
Huh?
At least it was a good story line for getting federal funds.
The private colleges got what they wanted: The 1972 Higher Education Amendments opted for direct aid to students (most of it subsidized loans not grants) instead of direct federal aid to public colleges. Tuition skyrocketed at private colleges with public colleges soon to follow.
Ridiculous. After being reprimanded for using racist slurs in class a professor- encouraged by "academic freedom" jihadists around the Country- persists. Did any of these people ask students how they feel about it? campustimes.org/2021/12/05/pro… via @campustimes
"After class, Taylor filed a bias-related incident report and dropped the course."
Great learning experience for a Black student. The professor should be ashamed.
Amazing. Former DOJ attorney Jeffrey Clark to plead the Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. It's truly pathetic that DOJ sank so low that DOJ attorneys fear criminal prosecution.
U.S. House January 6 Committee Deposition of Jeffrey Clark (who refused to answer) “We wanted to ask him about interaction with a man named John Lott, who worked at the Department of Justice and wrote a memo that involved some allegations of voter fraud.” docs.house.gov/meetings/IJ/IJ…
Bottom line: Jeffrey Clark will plead the Fifth. He was dealing with another DOJ lawyer (presumably @JohnRLottJr, also known for empirical studies on guns saying what the NRA wants to hear). Lott was working on a memo on "election fraud." All of these guys should get subpoenaed.
I don't see a threat to academic freedom from administrators trying to force a consensus on the Rittenhouse verdict. What I do see is the NRA and its allies in politics and academia trying to force a consensus on laws that allow a 17 year old to use an AR-15 at a protest rally.
Do our politicians not see anything wrong with the law allowing a 17 year old to bring an AR-15 to a protest rally? No wonder students on college campuses, particularly in urban areas, are scared for their lives. That's the real "academic freedom" issue. The time to act is now.
It's about time college students ask their professors and administrators why campuses, particularly in urban areas, are becoming war zones. I discussed part of the problem here in 2012. It's only gotten worse. nytimes.com/2012/12/20/opi…
