A conservative legal movement
The antiabortion federal judge in Amarillo, Texas, who ordered a ban
on mifepristone, did make supreme court’s conservative majority look
reasonable by comparison.
Don't be fooled.

Message from young, progressive voters
Progressive young voters tell Biden that the way to win their votes
is to
energize them with progressive policies.
I mostly agree with them, but not on all issues. I give very high
priority to defeating plutocracy, and taxing the wealthy to help the
rest of us. Those issues are up at the top along with climate
defense. Immigration is secondary by comparison.

Democrats' self-righteous irresponsibility
*Clarence Thomas and Democratic Fecklessness.*
Just as Republicans (in Congress and on the Supreme Court) have a
tradition of disrespect for democracy and the rights and interests of
the non-rich,
Democrats have a habit of timidity and weakness
in defending them.
I have a suspicion that a lot of this timidity and weakness has
been purchased by rich donors that will only support "centrists".

Supreme Court ethics, Gorsuch
*Gorsuch Failed to Disclose
He Sold Home to CEO of Major Law Firm.*
That was just before Gorsuch got onto the Supreme Court.
That law firm has had 22 cases before the Supreme Court
since then.
I don't know whether Gorsuch made any decisions specifically in return
for (or gratitude for) that sale of property. It could be that
Gorsuch's plutocratist ideology is firm and he would usually have
decided for the benefit of the wealthy. Perhaps that law firm
generally represents the wealthy. If so, that law firm perhaps had
no need to pay to assure his support most of the time. Maybe he was
glad to get paid off for harm he would have done anyway.

Officials stoop low, OK
A sheriff in Oklahoma (and other officials) were secretly recorded
talking about their
wish to murder various inconvenient people.
They are trying to distract attention from this by claiming that making
the recording was a crime.
Arguably it was lawful to make the recording, but even if it wasn't,
that is no reason to tolerate officials whose idea of upholding laws
is to discuss ideas for murder.
