No, you weren’t. Arlington doesn’t operate that way. No special dispensation granted, ever. Those of us with loved ones buried or interred there know the rules all too well.

Take it a step further: establish an ethics overseer for Scotus justices. The last to resign because of an ethical cloud of his own making was Abe Fortas, more than half a century ago. What we’ve learned about the activities of Ginni Thomas and Tony Kennedy’s son seem far worse.

Fitton's interests tend more toward exercising his biceps and not his frontal lobes. Larry Klayman's ghost dies a little bit more every time one of these happens.

Ayatollah Trump abandoned the Kurds, our most faithful ally in the region. And looked the other way as Putin paid the Taliban bounties for dead American soldiers.

A reported $400 million owed in state and local taxes, for starters. Not subject to any statute of limitations. And a new Manhattan D.A. already to get down to business on the criminal side.

James Byrd was lynched in Jasper, Texas, just over a quarter-century ago. It never really ends, does it? But yes, the guy who rode down the escalator at his Manhattan address eight years ago has given license to people who'd have been sympathetic to what Byrd's tormentors did.

@shieldrepublic
What a fuckingly disgusting shirt. Reagan was a resolute conservative who knew compromise was how you governed. He enacted the last immigration-reform law. Trump is an unvarnished fascist who’d end American democracy. There’s absolutely no comparison between the two.

Just once, I’d like a Dreeben or Solicitor General to actually confront Alito or Thomas to state for the record why they aren’t recusing in light of all the recent reports about their unethical activities.

Nothing was *proven* in that absurd trial where the judge barely pretended to be even-handed. An acquittal means only the prosecution didn’t make its case beyond a reasonable doubt. It doesn’t vindicate the accused of anything.

Does the good perfesser understand that HRC sat for an FBI interview in the fall of 2016, when Garland was still on the D.C. bench because McConnell wouldn’t consider his SC nom? When has Trump had a sitdown for any such criminal proceeding?

As someone whose parents are interred in the Arlington columbarium, I’m entitled to tell you to shove it all the way up your ass. You may be numb to Trump’s scandals, but it’s always revolting to see and hear of how he obscenely flaunts the rules that others must abide by.

A bargain. People who deprecate the importance of Ukraine’s fight for freedom and sovereignty may or may not realize they’re doing the Kremlin’s dirty work. Worst thing that could happen now would be to walk away from or hamstring Zelensky and his hearty band of freedom-fighters.

Please don’t extrapolate from your experience and try to hang it on today’s women. We’re talking about a right rescinded that they were free to exercise for nearly half a century. That’s not a step forward in the arc of the moral universe. It’s an unmistakable step backward.

Trump’s exhausted, huffing and puffing through his various grievances. So is MAGA, as evidenced by his lifeless rallies. And so are we. We, who get the final say in November.

The former was solved by the feds ordering the installation of scrubbers on power plants' smokestacks in the Midwest. A triumph for federal intervention. As for the latter, Poppy Bush was a key player in getting global sanctions imposed on the production of chlorofluorocarbons.

Get a Solicitor General out there to ask Alito and Thomas directly to explain why neither would recuse and why doing so doesn't reflect poorly on the Court. Maybe not the greatest idea from a career standpoint, but you'd be remembered for a singularly striking moment of justice.
@lawofruby
Lisa, what would stop Smith, if stonewalled on both his cases, from issuing superseding indictments naming names and laying out the full scope of the conspiracies before Election Day? His way of flashing the single digit at Trump, Cannon and the Supreme Court. Could he do that?
@HC_Richardson
Kudlow was a terrible economist at Bear Stearns, in part because of a drug dependency. (I worked there at about that time.) Happy that he's turned his personal life around, but it's sad to see he seems more than willing to talk economic malarkey if that's what the Fox suits want.

Don't think for a second that Republicans in Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi are remotely deterred by the pushback on IVF. Theirs is a crusade. The Dobbs ruling cleared a state-by-state patchwork of laws applicable to abortion. Expect more of the same.

Nineteen years of carnage ... all placed at the feet of George Dubya Bush. Of all his terrible decisions, letting the assault-weapons ban sunset should never be over looked. The exclamation point on a truly awful presidency.
@RadioFreeTom
This is the correct analysis. Let's get back to the days of Clinton and Gingrich cutting budget deals to the betterment of all Americans, or to the days when compromise wasn't a dirty word and two guys named O'Neill and Reagan managed to sort out the last real immigration reform.
@ResusCGMedia
A day that will live in American infamy: September 13th, 2004. The day Dubya let the assault-weapons ban sunset. It was far from perfect, but we now live with the tragic aftermath of 13 years of unfettered commerce in lethal firearms. Put the blame where due.

Curiously, they really thought this was enough of a scandal to affect the 2020 outcome. Speaks to how highly flawed they knew the Republican incumbent was, even as he was busy marshaling his forces to lay the groundwork for the tragedy that would eventually result on 1/6/2021.
@WeHearPodcast
Widen the gender-gap margin up to 28% or 29% at the least. Dems typically must overperform in terms of raw votes by a solid margin in order to more than compensate for the built-in edge R's have in the Electoral College. Hear women roar in November.

Hogan was the beneficiary of Maryland Democrats nominating two subpar candidates for governor. To me, his legacy boils down to two mass-transit projects: killing the Red Line in Baltimore, since revived by Wes Moore; and committing to the Purple Line boondoggle in the D.C. burbs.

The FBI isn’t tasked with spying. But they did conduct an investigation into whether Russians interfered in the 2016 election. A number of indictments in absentia were returned. You can read all about it in the first volume of the Mueller Report. Glad to clear up your confusion.

What an odd reaction. Would you prefer reinstatement of a military draft? Because that would be on the table as a preparatory measure for America closing ranks with its NATO allies if Ukraine falls. Don't bet against it.
