Al Gore and Bill Clinton. 1990s.

If you want to understand American optimism…

We celebrate the date that we declared independence, not the date that we achieved it.

[Adrian Vermeule @Vermeullarmine]

To love only what your country might ideally become, in aspiration, is not to love your real country at all, but only an ideological abstraction.

Today marks a major turning point for political speech in America. For years, federal law irrationally treated coordination between political parties and their own candidates as suspect, subjecting parties to an unfair restriction on First Amendment speech, and limiting information flow to voters. The Supreme Court correctly recognized those restrictions as unconstitutional, strengthening the marketplace of ideas, and restoring order to our political ecosystem. Make no mistake – this is a win for voters and the electorate at large.

With today's Supreme Court ruling in NRSC v. FEC overturning the unconstitutional limits on coordinated party spending:

🔴 RNC cash on hand minus debt: $125,469,547.62

🔵 DNC cash on hand minus debt: -$3,434,868.26

Election lawyering: not always glamorous!

[Andrew Pardue @ABPardue]

It’s a good day whenever the Supreme Court decides to hear your client’s case, but an even better day when you win!

Huge win for the First Amendment today in NRSC v. FEC. Grateful for our litigation team at Jones Day and everyone else who contributed to this victory. 🇺🇸🐘

[Senate Republicans @NRSC]

COMPLETE AND TOTAL VICTORY.

Chief Justice Roberts, on the other hand, cites only the most abridged of Taft biographies, probably since it’s been a while since we’ve gotten a good full-length book on Taft’s life.

We won’t have to wait long though, because Walter Stahr’s 688-page bio comes out November 10!

@ccpecknold And performed measurably better with certain key demographics than the (slightly smaller) ‘84 landslide coalition, or any GOP candidate since:

[Andrew Pardue @ABPardue]

@clashreport @nixonfoundation He’s right! Nixon ‘72 outperformed Reagan ‘84 in almost every demographic subgroup:

Whites: +3
Blacks: +9
Hispanics: -2

Men: even
Women: +5

Plug those numbers into the 2024 map and you get something like 467 electoral votes/56% of the popular vote

Big loss for the "Spirit of Aloha," which, amazingly enough, does not supersede the U.S. Constitution. https://t.co/2UBC8f6FDu

Honored to share that I have been selected as a Summer 2026 James Wilson Fellow!

Looking forward to the opportunity to take a step back from day-to-day legal problems and think more deeply about the moral philosophy underpinning the American Founding.

[Andrew Pardue @ABPardue]

@SeanTrende And before Clinton cracked the code, Eisenhower’s sober economic legacy kept that same type of voter wedded to the GOP for decades after he left office. I think that somebody wrote a book about this once…
