Originalist Sin 0

Noz has a notion, elegant in its simplicity, for calling out the orginalists’ duplicity.

Because it’s crystal clear that they are originalists of convenience. Originalism will go out the window if it doesn’t fit with what they want to do.

The Party of Law(lessness) and (Dis)order 0

LZ Granderson reflects of the Republican Party’s about face. A snippet (emphasis added):

What’s more surprising than my ambivalence toward the FBI is how quickly “law and order” Republicans have turned against the agency. Since the raid at Mar-a-Lago, the FBI is discovering what it must have felt like to be a Capitol Police officer.

Apparently for this era of conservatism, “back the blue” applies only when it benefits the red.

A University of Florida professor describes the stifling effect that Florida’s “Stop Woke Act” is having on him and his colleagues. A snippet; follow the link for more.

First, instructors of both student courses and employee trainings are afraid. Afraid of saying the wrong thing, being entangled in an investigation, and getting pulled away from the valuable work they do and love. As a result, many are now considering whether to include content they’ve taught for years, even though their expertise as educators and researchers tells them to include that content.

If your cult leader gets caught breaking the law, well, then, why not just make that law go away?

False Equivalence 0

Alan Dershowitz recently complained that an investigation of Hillary Clinton was treated differently than that of Donald Trump, specifically as regards the FBI’s search, under the authority of a legal warrant, of Mar-a-Largo.

At Above the Law, Joe Patrice explains why one thing is not like the other thing.

So at least part of the reason the matter was “handled so differently” is akin to asking why cops don’t approach grand theft auto and shoplifting the same way even though both suspects are “suspected of mishandling someone else’s material.”

The Unsound and the Furious 0

Noz explains why Donald Trump’s claim that he “secretly declassified” classified documents that he had no legal right to declassify is disconnected from reality and the rule of law.

But law and reason will make no difference to the Trumpettes, who are committed to the rule of flaw and the politics of hate.

We are in parlous times.

The Rule of Flaw 0

Will Bunch disagrees with those Republicans who are screaming hysterically that the legal serving of a properly-approved search warrant on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Largo property was somehow an atrocity. Quite the contrary, indeed.

Here’s a little bit from his article (emphasis added):

The logic here is so 180 degrees opposite from reality that George Orwell must be spinning in his grave right now. Freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, and now, apparently, applying the rule of law to a former president is tyranny. The truth is that throughout modern American history, the presidential exemption to the supposedly cherished notion that no person is above the law — from Richard Nixon’s obstruction of justice to the torture regime of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney — has been a bug crashing U.S. democracy, and not a feature.
