@conor64 The assumption that there are no unjust laws ("Crime is always an injustice") seems a bit problematic

[Brian Beutler @brianbeutler]

We’re several days past the discovery of this bamboozlement, but some of the country’s top political reporters have nevertheless chosen to go along with the ruse rather than admit error. A rookie reporter who refused to correct factual mistakes like this would be fired.

This email is dated August 7, 2020, which, if I'm not mistaken, means that Donald Trump was president and Bill Barr was attorney general.

@TPCarney Yes, it is part of capitalism

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

NEWS: The Fifth Circuit panel in the social-media case realized they didn't really do law yesterday, looked at their own rules, and did a do-over. DOJ also filed a memo at #SCOTUS this morning. I've added an update at Law Dork explaining what's happening: https://t.co/f2FCCGRMFM

Here's the ATF form that Trump would have to have filled out to purchase a firearm. Notably, he would have to attest that he is not under felony indictment and not using or addicted to drugs (Hunter Biden case)

@mattyglesias It's a shift from power tied to labor to power tied to capital - obscuring decision making is part of the point

@JStein_WaPo @MarcBodnick @froomkin The disconnect shows that GOP is not actually interested in managing the budget. Instead you frame it as a bipartisan failure

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

North Carolina Republicans passed bill today stripping Dem governor of majorities on state/local election boards & giving gerrymandered legislature huge new power to overturn elections & limit early voting in Dem areas. Scary stuff https://t.co/zMXm984A2r

@EricLevitz Or white working class people become Republicans due to them being the party of white nationalism and adjusting economic views

[Nate Bohm @natched]

@EricLevitz The paper and claims from it that were tweeted seem to be focused on white working class voters vs white college educated.

Is there evidence for your claim that this is something that applies more generally to working class vs college educated?

[Nate Bohm @natched]

@mattyglesias So it's unseemly to point out that the media is lying bc they are only doing it to make money.

What is the seemly thing to do in this situation? Pretend media coverage is honest?

[Nate Bohm @natched]

@mcopelov I see. I was confused about whether you saw the problem as with the media/this article or with the political system/things this article includes criticism of

[Nate Bohm @natched]

@mcopelov Do you not think the EC and the Senate allowing for minority rule is a problem?

Current SCOTUS has 5 justices who were appointed by someone who became President despite the American people voting for their opponent

@joplin_jimi @CNNPolitics Refusing to leave? Why didn't he just comply?

I've been assured that resisting arrest and failure to comply with the police means what follows is your fault. But not this guy?

[Nate Bohm @natched]

@gelliottmorris OK, but there are answers for why people think that, which are largely independent of actual economic circumstances.

Look at the disconnect between left and right depending on who is Pres, for example

[Nate Bohm @natched]

@jj4t12win10 Well then, if it is only telling people that you dislike to shut up, then I guess that is entirely different.

Free speech! Except, not that kind of speech

[Nate Bohm @natched]

@jj4t12win10 @JamesSurowiecki The decision is specifically telling a long list of people to shut up, and you think that is erring on the side of more speech?
