Just finished @stevevladeck ‘s book “The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic.” Absolutely an outstanding read about a part of the that has huge implications but few people, including lawyers, see and understand.

It is an informative and accessible read for non-lawyers and lawyers alike. And it is a crucial book for those who want to understand the present Court’s legitimacy crisis and its impact on American and . I cannot recommend it enough.

Just unbelievable what the right-wing thinks they can get away with. are trying to turn back the clock folks, and return us to the 19th century. The unmitigated gall is just stunning. So tone-deaf, so clueless. It’s long past time to shun these close minded fools, even if they are in your own family or circle of friends. Enough. Basta. rollingstone.com/politics/poli

@randomgeek That’s a rather absolute take on refusing absolutes.

As for , you have to draw the line somewhere as to what’s open to a vote or eventually that line will be drawn for you across your neck.

I draw that line at and am uninterested in politics that start elsewhere.

I recently listened podcast where libright coalition party member first argued how decriminalizing drugs is good. Fine but then he started rambling how meat is terrible for climate and society should make meat prices umbearably high so the regular folk could not afford to eat it!
What a double standard, doing drugs is good but meat bad.
