Laughed louder with each paragraph of the 'news' today, from the NRA evolving from a group trying to prevent 'blowing off friends' elbows' into the current (and now headless) organization of money fleecers. Too bad with that group, 7 heads will reappear where the last one was lopped off.
The Kamala train is rolling on, while Joe needs to sharpen up his teeth and/or dentures and start taking advantage of these last months. Maybe go a little REAL crazy, drink some of that AOC juice and get the lazy media worked up a bit with your 'brutal' proposals.
Truth is, your 'brutal' ideas are actually how things are supposed to work.
Maybe someday we will see some version of it come to pass.
Always psyched to hear about folks enjoying TFN. Thanks for saying so. And we should all live so long… with socialized health care amirite fellow Commies?!?
You wrote: "In other words, Biden is letting stand the made-up concept that presidents are above the law while in office. He would alter the Constitution to add the not-there-anywhere-for-248-years concept of presidential immunity."
I agree the concept is made up, but it was the justice department that made it up in 1973, it is not original to Biden.
As for the gist of Biden's proposals, Supreme court term limits and ethics reform can be accomplished legislatively with simple majorities in the house and senate with the elimination of the filibuster.
Constitutional amendments are of course more difficult, but this one should enjoy broad political support, once Trump us vanquished and Republicans regain their moral clarity.

I felt bad about it even as I did it. But I’d do it again.

Thanks for flagging the history of Presidential Immunity Creep, which I’ve written before but always deserves a reup. Thank you!
