No part of the Constitution gives the Supreme Court the power of judicial review either. The court created that power out of nothing. If you wanna get pissy, Alito.

Yeah, if anything their selection needs to be further removed from the political process.

I think that’s what will ultimately happen. At this stage I think they’ll find a way to punt. I kinda hope it isn’t on standing, because then you have a situation where even if he (or someone else in the future) is found guilty of insurrection or rebellion, where state officials could still put him on the ballot and no one would have standing to sue to stop it.

[O’Keefe] … left the organization earlier this year amid allegations of improper spending of funds on personal luxuries.

Oh, I missed this. I’m shocked. Shocked and apalled.

The speculative deal would likely include 2 parts:

  1. Pass a bipartisan spending bill with concessions to the Democratic party.

  2. When the Freedom Caucus comes for McCarthy’s seat, Democrats vote to protect his speakership.

I don’t think there are any moderate Republicans who would actually want to be a bipartisan Speaker.

Why even try to finish it if you can just keep raking in money with fundraising? It’s a scam, not incompetence.

Shit, they’d probably have better luck finding willing recruits in Evangelical churches. Just say the right buzzwords and they’d be down.

It’s a shame. The Windows Phone version of Cortana was much better IMO than Siri and Google Assistant at the time. (And tbh Google Assistant seems to be getting worse over time.) It just wasn’t a good fit at the time for desktop PCs and Microsoft had no mobile offering to make it the default.

and he’s endorsed RFK Jr.

Gross. Yeah Dorsey sucks generally.

as well as Musk’s purchase of Twitter.

But I don’t hold this part against him. If some moron came along and offered to drastically overpay for my house, for example, I’d endorse the fuck out of that even if he’s a shitheel.
