I was hoping the take was: “we shouldn’t have released the Epstein files because the Justice Department should have done their job and the citizenry shouldn’t have to do it for them,” but nope, it’s just a “we can’t spy on folks as effectively if they know about it afterwards.” This is the best they’ve got at Columbia Law?
PWHL > NHL and it isn’t even particularly close.
They didn’t have time to remove the n word from the broadcast, but did manage to remove “Free Palestine” from Akinola Davies Jr. speech during the two hour buffer between when it was shot and when it was aired.
This idea that US law is based on the ten commandments is clearly bunk. It’s not illegal to commit adultery. Or have graven images. Or have other gods before the judeo-christian god. Or covet your neighbor’s wife. Or to ignore the sabbath. Or to dishonor your parents. The only ones that maybe you have an argument for are murder, theft, and maybe bear false witness, though my sunday school interpreted that in a way that is also not illegal. But we got all those from English common law, rather than the ten commandments. The legal pretense is so thin you can see right through it.
While I think this is true of who will actually show up to the polls, I have very little confidence that this is what will be reported as who turned out. I suspect we’ll see a lot of narrative around dems not turning out because there wasn’t the perfect candidate or because they were intimidated by ice to justify falsified voting numbers. I’ll be there voting DSA, but I won’t be surprised if the government reports it as a vote for a republican.
