This. Is. Not. A. Drill.

We’ll return to our irregularly scheduled programming in a moment, but I thought you might need some reassurance this evening: You are definitely not crazy if you thought what happened at the Supreme Court on Thursday was some weird sh*t.…

Elite colleges are now reaping the consequences of promoting a pedagogy that trashed the postwar ideal of the liberal university, George Packer writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Nice to see yet another God-fearing Christian -- in this case, Sarah Huckabee Sanders -- standing up for those moral virtues and family values that provide such a powerful witness to a watching world. Holiness.

No American president has defined deviancy downward like this ex-president. All because of his actions, the Supreme Court is talking about the possibility of presidents accepting bribes and assassinating an opponent.

You know, I lived through the 60s. And remember the university protests and shutdowns. And it didn’t end all that well.

Grateful?

Supreme Court’s conservative majority seems poised to narrow the scope of the criminal case against Trump on charges that he plotted to subvert the 2020 election, endorsing at least part of his argument that he is immune from prosecution and sending the case back to the trial…

Trump lawyer says that if Trump sold nuclear secrets to a foreign adversary, he couldn't be prosecuted unless he was impeached and convicted first

Wow. Not backing off. Trump’s lawyer just told the Supreme Court Trump could assassinate his opponent and would still be immune from prosecution.

Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it. Now he’s asking the Supreme Court to make that so. Not a drill.

Donald Trump's lawyer is effectively arguing before the Supreme Court that there is no legal recourse if Joe Biden orders the military to kill his client.

For anyone not sufficiently worried about what a second Trump term would be like, his argument in the Supreme Court today should terrify you. He wants absolute unchecked power. That’s his view of the presidency. And he wants to make it so.

Kagan asked Trump’s lawyer if a president staging a coup is an “official act” immune from prosecution.

“It depends on the circumstances,” Sauer responded. “It could well be.”
