Thanks for telling me.

I put the wrong link!!!

I will delete and start over.

About to leave Sacramento for home, the longest and most utterly boring part of our trips. (I5– Grapevine) Harris Ranch does have great bathrooms though. 🤭

Our realtor timed it out so we’d be driving home during an Open House today instead of kicking us/Hammy out for 3 hours tomorrow. Pays off to have our neighbor/friend in that role.

As always, posting & replying may be spotty.

🎯 Via #Biden-Harris HQ:

A feeble and confused #Trump posts a typo-riddled all-caps rant misspelling “Biden,” “disinforms,” “misinforms,” and other basic words

A Truth Social post from Trump:

DISINFORMATES AND MISINFORMATES ALL THE TIME, I'm running to CLOSE

Wild how many stories about judges have some version of, "While these years of bribes from people who received favorable treatment from the judge aren't technically violations, they look bad."

Maybe we should have more actual rules for judges?

I have my weekend blog post ready.

You don’t have an affirmative Constitutional right to vote. (Did you know that?)

The right to vote was not (affirmatively) included in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, or any other Amendments.

Here's why (and what I mean):

Once again, I ran out of time and didn't deal with the problem of that 500 error message. There are some plug ins I'm supposed to try.

If you get the message wait a few minutes and try again.

The SNL open started with a terrible Biden (after all these years they still haven't figured out a good approach!) but Johansson as Britt is hilarious. And the folks at Crooks and Liars kindly gave us the clip without the Biden part.

Giving credit where credit is due.

I've mentioned my friend @StephanieJones a few times. (She may even come to Mastodon at some point.)

Early on she tried to tell Larry Tribe that he was misleading people about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

I quoted her in this piece: https://terikanefield.com/section-3-and-the-spirit-of-liberty/

Here she is trying to talk sense into Larry Tribe.

If people are struggling with this, show them the piece I wrote in January.

I get credit for having smart friends like Stephanie.

The 14th Amendment doesn't mention elections or ballots. It simply says no one who engaged in insurrection shall "hold any office." So, what happens if, despite being removed from several state ballots, Trump is still elected? Will he be stopped from taking office? If your answer is yes, who will do it and how? The Supreme Court? On what grounds? And through what process? The states? Which ones and how will they do it? And what about the states that didn't disqualify him - will they have any say in this? If some states deem Trump an insurrectionist and remove him from their ballots and other states don't, how exactly should the 14th Amendment's "No person shall ... hold any office" provision be enforced? I'll await your answers.

I see folks saying they are confident that ultimately this Supreme Court will reject Trump’s claim that presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. I’m not. I meant it every time I have said that Trump appointed Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett are almost certainly in the tank for him. Were they not, they’d be recusing themselves from all his appeals, as their participation certainly has, at the least, the appearance of impropriety. 1/ #LawFedi

Someone gave away about a 100 records ("must take all") - 1970s pop & rock, opera, some film soundtracks, and a few oddities like this. I put it on assuming it would be terrible, but you know,, it's actually pretty fun. What my girlfriend calls "class strip music" as you might guess from the picture of a totally clothed lady on the cover.

Via Simon Rosenberg:

Since Dobbs Democrats keep overperforming and Republicans keep struggling.

#Trump is struggling in these early states. MAGA is a failed politics even with Republicans.

Republicans against Trump:

So 49% of Republicans in Iowa, 44% in NH, and about 40% in South Carolina voted against Trump who is essentially running as an incumbent.

Warning signs for Trump’s general election campaign.

1/ #Trump's first criminal trial will start in NYC on March 25. Judge Juan Merchan denied Trump’s motions to dismiss the case Thursday. The trial should be over before the RNC & in time for the fedl case in the DC to be tried before the election if #SCOTUS acts expeditiously.

My dad was a huge audiophile who was very into Quadraphonic LPs. He was a classical music buff who didn't ordinarily buy much of anything else, but he did deign to purchase this all-star orchestral version of Tommy. It's a beautifully packaged little thing.

Every day I wake up, and search for an Alpha Male to tell me what to do with myself, but so far I haven't found one, so, I just do the things my vagina whispers to me in the night.

I have one double LP where the sides are 1+4 and 2+3. I could have made sense of it if it were 1+3 and 2+4, as that would allow you to play it continuous if you have two turntables, but please help me make sense of 1+4 and 2+3? @vinylrecords #vinyl

I love this LP, which is easily New Riders' best album (apparently a minority opinion), but I had it over 30 years before someone told me Panama Red is a type of marijuana and this whole album is full of drug references. I had no idea! (Drugs are not my thing.)

For every chud coming into my timeline to explain that they are voting 3rd party to send a message and/or burn it all down, all I can do is remind you that you already sent that message in 2016.

How did your strategy work out for you?

Fun psychedelia that also includes a hippie's handwritten annotations on the songs, which includes things like, "use with care."

Close-up of the back cover of The American Metaphysical Circus with handwritten notes. For example, The Sing-Along Song is notated with "use with care - Dixieland."
