Main Paineframe posted:the entire history of the Reconstruction amendments has been a ceaseless struggle between Congress and the courts, one that's usually been pretty one-sided due to political division in Congress in addition, dont forget that the court's power to nullify laws in the first place is not mentioned anywhere in the constitution and was wholly invented by the supreme court themselves in marbury v madison

GunnerJ posted:OK, but on the other hand, we'll regularly say the Dems hosed up for assuming that Clinton would win in 2016, or that otherwise various measures that could be easily undone by GOP victories didn't matter. Not doing this might have enabled "planning on what happens when the pendulum swings back the other way." the difference is the dems assumed hillary would win when there was no reason for them to be that confident that trump couldnt win except pure ideology. the polling was basically 50-50

the gary johnson voters were the ones who were republicans but thought trump was too crude and hillary was EXTREMELY CLEAR that republicans who disliked trump were supposed to vote for her. the kasichbros and rubiobros didnt live up to their end of the deal.

One of the more notable points she made was the Steele Dossier was disinformation bait by the Russians. Sam does says the "pee" tape is real at the end though. emptywheel is Marcy Wheeler's nom de blog and she has been a really good reporter on the Mueller investigation, and also NSA spying and intelligence courts hell yeah give that goon who set it up a medal
