On the one hand, I understand why people think SCOTUS will rule in Trump’s favor.
On the other hand, they did NOT rule for the Independendent State Legislature theory. Which I think people were surprised about. It was sold as a necessary step for our descent into true minority GOP rule. And SCOTUS didn’t accept it.
Why would they miss a chance to cement that lever of GOP rule and then take this one? Isn’t SCOTUS the exact conservative group that have ZERO incentive to bow down to Trump? Perhaps in fear of their own lives? But wouldn’t the knowledge of their own hostage situation mean they would want to fight this somehow?
This is the GOPs opportunity to find it’s way out of the Trump Wilderness and you’d think the oligarchs, if they really do own the judges, would discard Trump and try again in 2028.
Unless of course Kavanaugh et al really are directly being blackmailed by Trump. But then again, why didn’t they accept the ISL theory when we all thought they would?
President Joe Biden’s personal attorney said Sunday he went to both the special counsel and the attorney general to register concerns over what he viewed to be pejorative and unnecessary digs at the president’s memory....

Fossils preserved within ancient rock may prove that photosynthesis started way earlier than we thought.
Cool stuff, but not really the “origins” of life in the way I was thinking. Cool research on very early life, but not on the origins of all life (in fact, I don’t know if any of my ancestors every photosynthezed…?)
I don’t get it. Her music is sometimes catchy but otherwise unremarkable, from the songs I’ve heard. How does she break all these records and accumulate so much fame and wealth?...
How do you think she compares to Britney Spears, Madonna, or Beyonce? Like, Taylor Swift has become a pop star. You don’t have to love her music to see she has wide appeal. I don’t really like Madonna but you listen to a song and you are like “yeah I can see why people have danced to this for thirty years”
The current president may well lose as Democratic support from key constituencies disintegrates due to his ongoing arming of Israel in the midst of its genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza....
It’s weird considering two unrelated hypotheticals. Especially in light of how Netanyahu can postpone his own election? I guess the flip side is his parliament could potentially oust him prematurely as well.
