@CommittoVote@brianstelter The issue here is she probably heard it from one of the court’s other justices, and is now trying to fall on the sword (even though the cover story is patently absurd). Unlikely, alito told her. Much more realistic Kagan, Sotomayor, or Jackson did.
@GringoElCamino@brianstelter It’s the part we’re missing. She “likely knows he’s retiring and then thought he announced so she was good to go. It was probably “sometime this week” but then got delayed a bit with the reporting of him firing back from the bench.
@geneticmethodd@FlyoutChase I think a smart pick would put him as Secretary of State in the right administration. You could argue the need to rebuild relationships. Otherwise, yes, Governor, followed by whatever the hell he wants.
@JamieRJN@vicki4088389843@scotus_wire all you do is post on Twitter (I checked). You’re either a bot, paid to post, or desperately need to touch grass.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "It's just wrong to make Americans think that every single Palestinian in Gaza was a member of Hamas. That's just not true. There were tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians murdered by these bombs that were dropped on them. And now the same thing is happening in Lebanon."
@moorehn@Back40Ventures This. Families in NYC pulling between 500,000 and 1,000,000 (after taxes) who can buy access for their kids into the elite circles.
@FmrRepMTG You could have stayed and caucused as an independent but you chose to leave. It’s the ultimate Monday morning quarterbacking after years of insanity. While i appreciate the sanity — you took the easy way out Marjorie.
@RileeDHarrison Half of being a lawyer is knowing that there’s almost never a fully correct answer to the question posed. On the flip side, I fully support LLM’s for basic legal documents to open accessibility and promote efficiency (I.e., wills, etc).
@writeclimbrun While these scores are impressive, there are a lot more applicant scoring in the 172 to 175 range than ever before. There are a lot of reasons for that, from test changes to the the quality of cheap online prep courses, but the gap has closed, making these apps less auto admit.
@PatTalksLaw@patefortworth Rural law firms are in no way competing with big law firms for comparable jobs. This is not a slight on the great work of local attorneys, but it’s a stretch to say Twitter or Wells Fargo are going to a three man shop in Pelican Rapids, MN for their antitrust work.
I suspect they burned their entire intelligence apparatus in the Middle East when they struck the leadership of Iran. Those are things you only learn from deep intel. I assume substantial CIA casualties that aren’t going to be publicly accounted for.
They also had no officials on the Sunday show rounds.
Something is wrong.
My guess was the expected a smoother operation that would quickly fold, despite warnings from top Generals and the CIA.
Now they are realizing they’ve just galvanized the same regime and have no choice but to over commit to save face instead of admitting a screw up.

DHS spent today replying to individual tweets saying they left this man in a coffee shop "determined to be a warm, safe location" only for video to emerge tonight showing it was the middle of the night, cold and the coffee shop was closed.
