Let’s pretend

Chuck Schumer says this and now Republicans are pretending it’s an actual threat and a major outrage:

Analysis: John Roberts and Chuck Schumer’s extraordinary war of words https://t.co/8hpyCJqncK
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) March 4, 2020

No non-moron anywhere sincerely believes Schumer's speech was "threat" of anything but further disapprobation but GOP plays this fiddle every time and reporters pretend GOP is sincere.

When Trump suggests his enemies should be punished for treason, none of them say squat. https://t.co/U4egdrogLe

so now that @senschumer quoted Brett Kavanaugh's words back to him, NOW John Roberts thinks they're a threat?

Sounds entirely par for the course, because John Roberts is a craven liar.

NASHVILLE was devastated by a tornado. At least 19 are dead. There’s no power at the state legislature.

But Republicans here are so excited to pass an unconstitutional abortion ban and a radical permitless carry bill they’re convening anyway to attack women by flashlight.

1. For 45+ years, #SCOTUS has repeatedly affirmed that abortion providers can defend their patients' right to abortion by challenging restrictive laws in court. Louisiana is trying to force patients to file their own cases, an insurmountable task for most. https://t.co/Vxx7wvovod

Piece of crap

One day after briefing the press in an attempt to calm nerves about the coronavirus, Trump spent 45 minutes talking to the lead actors of a low-budget conservative play based on congressional testimony and the texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. https://t.co/mX0hlbk2XO

He’s counting on peeling off just enough of the black vote to put him over the top again:

1. The Supreme Court has created a "shadow docket," allowing the Trump administration to circumvent the rest of the legal system and charge ahead with its preferred policies

It's a perversion of the judicial process.
