Six days. Less than a week to Election Day.
FINALLY, the last presidential debate of this election cycle. Here’s a post for emptywheel community members’ discussion about the debate.
Here’s a post so emptywheel community members can discuss the canceled second of three presidential debates — I mean, town hall on ABC with Biden and interview with Trump on NBC.
Originalists like Amy Coney Barrett are not up to the task of deciding issues of contemporary law using criteria shaped by goose quills and beeswax.
That’s a pretty dull head, isn’t it, for what’s at stake, for the price Americans have paid for the GOP’s SCOTUS nominee?
