They will get the best of both worlds and allow states to pass laws essentially banning it without explicitly overturning Roe. And hey, the rich will still be able to get them for their mistresses or daughters.

Why not both? Overturn Roe vs Wade and then bang the “evil Democrats will bring back abortion” drum for all time.

I'm sure this has been covered (since these tweets were from approximately 230 years ago), but as a chief of an Intel agency, how do you not just quit over this? Your commander in chief just called you uninformed and naive, how do you continue to credibly operate after that?

Because they still have a job, authority over their people, and relationships with the other services in the DoD and foreign partners. Quitting would be cowardly and harmful if they believe the president would replace them with someone more ideologically compatible but less suited for the role

Intelligence is a career, and unless you want to go freelance like Christopher Steele, it’s hard to transfer the skills to the private sector. Trump will be gone in 2 or 6 years - not worth throwing a career away for.

Because they know the president is compromised by a hostile (or by many hostile) foreign powers and they are best positioned to mitigate his corrupt influence I guess.

Howard Schultz, the former Starbucks CEO who has floated an independent run at the White House, deleted a tweet Wednesday in which he praised a column that insulted other 2020 contenders.

In the now-deleted tweet, Schultz linked to a piece that called Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) “shrill” and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) “Fauxcahontas,” a reference to her claims of Native American heritage.
