Dumb question but was this ruling always going to come down today?

I ask because it’s weirdly timed to come out when all the newsy news will be covering the assassination attempt and not this. Kind of like sneaking shit in on a Friday afternoon 


They don’t have to hide it or bury it in the news because they know it makes no difference, people are actively supporting this across all levels of society.

Isn't that how they pick folks like Kavanaugh?

It's stunning how mind-bogglingly bad Democrats are at politics.

You're the one who keeps telling everyone Biden cannot be pushed out of this race, it's up him and only him. 

So why should Sotomayor be pushed off the bench? It's up to her.

Maybe both of them are being stubborn as hell.   Apply your same standard.

Hope everyone realizes the violence on Saturday was not a one-off, it was the beginning of what's coming.

So there's more Republican on Republican violence to come?

her clerks/Federalist Society/Heritage Foundation started drafting that bad boy the day after the case was filed.  they were just waiting for Thomas's concurrence to fill in that cite.

today was the perfect day to release it.  when Trump has as much sympathy as he'll ever have from the American people after being shot at.

Sotomayor should step down to ensure a Democrat can name her replacement. 

That's smart politics.

Also, I think Biden gives Democrats the best chance of winning. If I didn't, I'd want him off the ticket.

It would take, what, two D or I senators to vote against to scuttle the nomination?  Are we sure Kyrsten and Joe wouldn't do that?  I'm not.

No, but I'd rather Biden make that nomination now. Who knows what the Senate or White House will look like on January 20.

So what’s the strategy here? Work to get this case dismissed (current) or at least get the DOJ to prosecute it? That makes it easy for trumps AG to kill it. If it’s special counsel, the AG has to work to get rid of a special counselor/prosecutor.

100% she should but she won’t.

I'm torn on this.  She's "only" 70.  But, she's been a Type 1 diabetic since her youth.  There's a lot of risk either way.

this case was over as soon as Trump got his hand picked judge

she knew her assignment, throw this case out or delay until after the election

Since we can no longer expect judges to self regulate when it comes to conflicts of interest, we should codify a standard that governs what they are. And we should begin with making it unlawful for a judge to sit in judgement of matters involving the person who appointed them.

Seeing the classified documents case against Trump dismissed has sent me to a level of despair about this country that is lower than it has ever been during my lifetime. This is a truly screwed up country. 

His actions were illegal, unconscionable, and immoral. And he faces no consequences at all, and worse yet 48% of the population is too stupid to realize he is traitor to this country. It’s just unbelievable. 

Senate Republicans had a chance to do the right thing. They chose not to.

From a purely political perspective, it's beginning to look like they chose wisely.

Sucks for the country, though. Bigly.

The documents case will go forward. But it will only be after all of Trump’s appeals are exhausted. The courts colluded to make sure that would be the case, long past the election.

He makes them feel better about being massive pieces of shit, because he, like them, is a massive piece of shit. Like calls to like.

Soon the Georgia case will be dismissed and there will be no consequences for him asking state officials to falsify an election. Truly Teflon

It’s not that she likes him. It’s that she’ll do his bidding. She’s his errand girl.

One of the worst weeks in American history. Soon however we will look back and think these were the good ole days…

I don't know that despair is the right word. Neither is panic. 

After seeing the reaction from MAGA post assassination attempt it's really just more like I've given up on the future of America as a place where merit, or strong principles will lead to success. It's really hard to look at the series of events this weekend and regardless of success on the assassination attempt how the exact same things would be playing out. Trump has become a completely irrelevant pawn, could have been his head or just his ear getting shot. He is being controlled and used now and it's so blatantly obvious. 

He's being used to dismantle the judicial system, the very fabric of our country. He's not the one doing any of this, these are willing participants who are actively destroying our country. He doesn't possess the ability to plan or indoctrinate these people, these people have always wanted to destroy America.

I understand what you're saying, but he's more than an irrelevant pawn because:

  1. He, in fact, did force the party to go in a populist direction that its leaders didn't want to go in.
  2. He and his family control the entire party apparatus.
  3. He's invited the worst elements of humanity into the party and given them power.
  4. He's both their avatar and their shield by sucking up all the hate. Without him, I think the actual party's policies and platform would get more attention from the normies. 

In other words, imagine today's GOP if Trump never was on the political scene. Sure, the Republicans have always had little fascist toadies in their midst, but he's the one who promises them the keys to the kingdom. And, yes, he's not the brains behind it all, but he is what has inspired them.

Now, if Trump were to disappear today, I believe that the fascists who've taken over the party would still control it, but there would be no suitable replacement for Trump as a message-bearer who could bring in the necessary votes.

It's what's been happening since Columbine. But I would agree that making the president a dictator makes violence from people who are actually politically motivated a lot more likely.
