The theory that the #14thAmendment disqualifies #Trump has gained traction… since 2 prominent #conservative #law profs argued in an (Atlantic) article last month that his actions before & during the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the Capitol constituted engagement in an #insurrection. But it remains a #legal long shot. Trump would surely #appeal any #ruling that he was #ineligible, and a final decision could rest w/ #SCOTUS, which has a conservative #supermajority that includes 3 justices he appointed.…

#Republicans have lost their minds. Now, they're pushing #legislation to ban #abortions in federal waters. Fortunately, this #bullshit has no chance of becoming #law as long as the Republicans don't have a #supermajority, but it highlights just how #insane, and disgustingly out-of-touch they are. Remember, 70% of the #American #population supports a woman's right to abortion.

State legislatures like Texas and Florida with a GOP #supermajority apparently ready for Trump’s #Fascist America.
— ‘Local protections are crucial [as Osha lacks] a national heat protection standard.
Still, the Republican lawmakers … said it eliminates a “hodgepodge of onerous and burdensome regulations” that Texas businesses face. The effort aims to prevent cities and counties from enacting progressive policies that counter the state Republican supermajority’s aims.’
An Aggressive #SupremeCourt Reshapes the US as Its Standing #Erodes. #conservative #supermajority is remaking US #laws on #environment, #health #firearms even as #PublicConfidence #declines and #ethical questions grow. With a 6-3 #conservative #majority, the court has issued a series of recent #decisions enhancing its own role, in many cases by overriding #regulatoryagencies, the #WhiteHouse, #congress, state and local governments. https://archive.is/TRxzE#selection-3797.0-3797.511

"The SNP’s implosion is a chance to put failing devolution into reverse"
If anyone can reverse the decline in #SNP fortunes, and push pro-independence opinion to a #SuperMajority, it is political master strategist Mr #DavidFrost. For it is he.
His latest wibblings should be disseminated far and wide.
Three cheers for Frostie!

Does #DueProcess matter? By Sherrilyn Ifill and Stephen Vladeck. Yes, so pay attention locally. Justin #Jones and #Pearson went into the #Tennessee rabbit hole without a lawyer to expose the latest #WhiteSupremacist front founded on #SuperMajority #immunity from #HumanRights #violations and shame; and constructed with #gerrymandering, #votersuppression and the #ShadowDocket- which resulted from the #InditedInsurector creating an opaque process, from how they killed in the #DarkOfNight, to not challenging mundane but consequential items like… #TheWall.

“Republicans in the #tennessee legislature cd act as they did [expelling 2 young Black legislators] because they have a #supermajority thanks to their #redistricting of the state after t 2020 census…they cracked Dem-leaning Nashville, dividing it among 3 [R] districts…Meanwhile, laws prohibiting people w/a past felony conviction from voting cut more than 470,000 people from t voter rolls. This lock on power has given Tennessee Republicans the ability to do as they please.”—Heather Cox Richardson
