“Premature,” lol. The abject refusal to just admit this guy was completely wrong is one of the funnier Boomer-coded traits.

[Phil Magness @PhilWMagness]

John Roberts' ruling in the Obamacare case may be the worst major supreme court decision in the last 50 years.

The Clarence Thomas dissent in the recent tariff case nonetheless makes it look like a beacon of legal clarity by comparison.

[Hannah Cox @HannahDCox]

The way Tillis is legislating on his way out of Congress provides some insight into how they all might behave if we had term limits and broke the two party system’s stranglehold on representative’s guts.

[Bridget Phetasy @BridgetPhetasy]

I do not trust anyone—left, right or libertarian—rooting for America to fail.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

I liked the world better when the news came on for 30 minutes and then we did other shit for 23 1/2 hours. Now it follows you around all day like a hobo begging for change.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

It is completely acceptable to hate the ayatollah, hope the US wins and succeeds, and also believe that the president should have come to congress and made the case to the American people.

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

From Monday's @reason Roundtable. Trump's Iran bombing is clearly unconstitutional and his justification for war with Iran is a major reversal of his own statements on previous actions.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Iran is an evil regime and deserves to fall. But that's not a good argument for the significant risks of launching a war of regime change without Congress and against the will of the American people.

[Cato Institute @CatoInstitute]

If President Trump tries to take control of the midterm elections by executive order, he'll be defying the Constitution in an attempt to trample the authority of Congress and the states and the rights of voters. The time to draw a line is now, says Cato Senior Fellow Walter Olson.

For years I’ve pushed back on the claim that the Supreme Court is a radical body of Trump stooges. That claim was never true. But it’s especially absurd now that he’s publicly attacking his own appointees for ruling against his tariffs. Can we finally drop this silly fiction?

[David French @DavidAFrench]

He had a worse record at SCOTUS during his first term than any modern president. This term, he's not just lost on tariffs, he's lost on deploying the National Guard and on trying to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport people to a torture prison without due process. The judiciary is a functioning, independent branch of government.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

For anyone putting loyalty to a person above loyalty to the Constitution, Justice Gorsuch’s remarks should be required reading. His words are a reminder that our highest duty is to the rule of law and the founding principles that define America.

[Ilya Somin @IlyaSomin]

The America I love is the one that welcomes Arthur Liu - a refugee from communist oppression - and his daughter becomes an Olympic gold medalist! I don't love the America that tries to keep people like him out, or deports them back to their oppressors, as we are now doing with so many Cubans, Venezuelans, and others.

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

This is shameful and irresponsible, plain and simple.

[Kmele 🖐 @kmele]

President Trump (recounting a tariff negotiation call w/ Swiss ‘prime minister’):

“I didn’t really like the way she talked to us… So, instead of giving her a reduction, I raised her to 39%.”

Textbook national emergency.

[Justin Amash @justinamash]

The footage again looks terrible for the government.

DHS and the Trump administration again rush to exonerate the federal agents and gaslight the public.

[Kevin Negandhi @KevinNegandhi]

Amazing to see a great playcaller and what he can do without a #1 WR and #1 TE. Meanwhile the Eagles have a playcaller who’s special is 3 and outs.

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

I reject all arguments of the form ***past presidents did illegal things so it's suspect to criticize the current president for doing illegal things.***

[Matthew Salvatore @mattywid]

No declaration of war. No AUMF. Maduro’s illegitimacy/narco-state does not suspend the Constitution. These hostilities are unconstitutional. The “law enforcement” rationale is absurd; it collapses Article I. Trump has laid bare how far we’ve fallen. A sad way to start our 250th.

[Nick Gillespie @nickgillespie]

We need more actual constitutionalists like @RepThomasMassie, @randpaul, and @justinamash in government and fewer situational ones like @JDVance, @marcorubio, and @BasedMikeLee. Congress declares war, not unprincipled actors like @realDonaldTrump.
