So Tucker Carlson is demanding Judge Jackson’s LSAT scores. The GOP made a big deal during the Obama Administration about “being blocked” from examining President Obama’s college transcript.
I don’t remember the same demand for scrutiny of the academic records of Judges Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, or Berman. I also don’t remember any pressure on Trump to cough up his grades from Wharton. Not even a single request for Joe Biden’s college grades, for that matter, even though he’s a Democrat.
I wonder what the difference is in these cases…

As for DeSantis, he is trying to get people sick. That’s news. Tucker is just a racist. Navarro is an idiot straight up who is full of himself.

“I don’t say this out of cynicism or frustration”
Dude you are the quintessential cynicism and frustration poster child.
You are bereft of comprehension of this fact but it’s obvious to the rest of us.
Do us all a favor bro, and give it a rest.

Bid To Get Cawthorn Kicked Off Ballot Relaunches
BTW, cawcaw’s “prove you’re not a seditionist” court hearing got moved up to tomorrow, Friday AM. Lucky dude drew US District Chief Judge Richard Myers, TFG appointee in 2019, long time UNC law professor and former ADA in CA and NC. I didn’t think much of the plaintiffs’ chances before, and even less now.
While I agree that the elections board has the right to evaluate challenges to a candidate’s qualilfications in regard to things like age, residency, and citizenship, all of which have well known affirmative proofs available to the candidate, this idea that the candidate has to prove he did not commit sedition is a straight up unconstitutional violation of his civil rights. Those civil rights being the right to run for office, and the right to enjoy due process of law. Letting a podunk elections board make a determination of a felony (sedition) having occurred, and that board imposing a punishment (prohibition from running for office), violates cawcaw’s right to due process. In addition, the courts will look very dimly on having their constitutional roles usurped. Judging by his resume, Judge Myers is so deep in the Federalist Society he pisses black ink. I expect tomorrow’s hearing to be entertaining, in the way watching old cabin cruisers getting tossed into large industrial shredders is.

I don’t pretend to be a Presidential historian. But the U.S. has never indicted an ex-President for a crime. Of course that is likely because one has never engaged in the sort of depravity as has Trump. Nevertheless, that would be a huge leap in the way we treat an ex-President, even conceding he richly deserves charges. It’s a rubicon we won’t cross until one commits murder or treason I think.

Does DeSantis realize that, being a NATO country, France would have more than just a little military help from other NATO nations, including the U.S.?
Of course, maybe France would just sit back and eat cheese and drink wine while the other countries did the fighting, right dumbass?

Time to look back on some of @steviedee111’s Ukraine prognostications?

From the Committee’s filing:
“Finally, Plaintiff admitted that President Trump authorized him to discuss their communications in public, apparently in an effort to establish some form of defense for President Trump’s conduct.”
I’d be interested in the factual support for this, For reasons discussed in earlier postings to the Hive, the claim for privilege is pretty weak (e.g. the communications were not confidential, the gratuitous offer of advice was insufficient to establish a-c relationship, what Eastman offered was not advice since he admitted it was so far-fetched no one would actually follow it, and even if there were a privilege, the “client” waived it), and the court may prefer to avoid a ruling suggesting TFG has criminal exposure (e.g. breathless speculation from the media that His Honor agrees a crime has been committed)

Then we should erase the words carved in stone at the SCOTUS…“Equal Justice Under Law.”. It’s one or not.

Circumstances are clearly aligned against Trump now. With Russia facing unexpected resistance from Ukraine and the West, Putin has his hands full and not only has no time for his protege, but will be lucky to survive himself. Russian bots have been largely sidelined from social media, while the trucker rally here in America fizzled. As much as Trump has done to divide Americans, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has united us under a common purpose. White nationalism is on the run now, especially as more of them are indicted.
And the 1/6 Committee is about just a few short weeks away from public hearings which will further galvanize public opinion.
As far as not indicting a former President, think of it as indicting a Russian agent. We still do that, don’t we?

I have to agree with your assessment. Even David Cay Johnston has been silent of late, after those attorney resignations.
