Saturday Stuff


I noted both of these topics yesterday, but I think they need some more context; first, Mike Figueredo tells us more on the SCOTUS hearing related to the utterly ridiculous and dangerous “independent state legislative theory” BS from Moore v. Harper, which has its origins in the eternally wretched Bush v. Gore ruling (which I thought was supposed to be a one-off, but I guess the joke is on us on that one)...best to kill this bogus nonsense outright, but even if it is eventually decided to apply to North Carolina only (which would still make me greatly uncomfortable), that would be a bit of a pyrrhic victory (and you can rely on “Strip Search Sammy” Alito to push for as broad an application as possible to utterly screw over the most people)...



...and Thom Hartmann gives us more on “Curtsy Kyrsten” and her decision to file as an independent (GREAT point about how Sinema can forget about Dem support...it’s possible that she could siphon enough votes in ’24 from likely Dem challenger Ruben Gallego which would help that loon Kari Lake, who likely will be the Repug nominee, but we’ll see – and that would be awful for the Dems of course if Lake or one of her same-party pals were to actually win – but I think the wildcard is how deeply unpopular Sinema is...it make’s Gallego’s job tougher, but not insurmountable IMO)...



...and here are a couple of more seasonal selections.
