Is Putin waiting for Trump?

Posted: 27 Jun 2022 06:51 AM PDT

So suggests Noah Smith: My view is that Putin is banking on congressional Republicans.  At this point is seems clear that the Ukrainian army is better than the Russian army (more motivated, better trained and led) and that NATO weapons are better than Russian weapons.  If the current coalition in support of Ukraine holds together, […]

Legacy of Racial Injustice in the Administration of the Death Penalty

Posted: 27 Jun 2022 04:30 AM PDT

Interesting information on how courts both state and federal distinguish and discriminate based upon race and color. Not necessarily new information. McCleskey goes back 35 years. In a SCOTUS hearing McCleskey was told data on patterns of sentencing was not allowable unless it was directly related to him. Warren was put to death September 21, […]

Justice ‘Misleadingly’ Quotes Lawrence Tribe in Roe Ruling

Posted: 27 Jun 2022 04:00 AM PDT

This could also be entitled; “leaving society largely intact” which is what the SCOTUS gang of six are selling to the rest of us. And to which a misquoted Lawrence Tribe exposes.

Liars, Originalists, Justices, and Dobbs, Oh My!

Posted: 26 Jun 2022 04:00 AM PDT

I do not know about you. It is hard not to get or be angry due to January 6 of last year, the constant barrage of garbage coming from Republican Congressional Representatives, and Senators of the same political ilk.

On Roe, offer to compromise with Republicans, and vilify the conservative justices
