The "Death Squad Ruling," cont. --
I keep coming back to the passage of Washington's Farewell Address in which Roberts cloaked his bid for authoritarianism. Roberts took a passage warning against corruption, foreign influence, insurrection, and authoritarianism, & said, "sign me up!"https://t.co/j7r4Sdq716 pic.twitter.com/sUpYiriNpm

You know what would be awesome? The Democratic controlled Senate actually holding hearings on this outrageous perversion of the Supreme Court. Like do some fucking oversight and stop asking 'pretty please' of them.

A rough day --
It’s been kind of a rough day. I was disbarred in New York, and my phone number turned up in the Epstein phone logs.
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) July 3, 2024
Oh. Wait.
Pardon me.
That was Rudy Giuliani getting disbarred and Donald Trump with his phone numbers in the Epstein phone logs.
