Trump filed his reply in the immunity issue in the Supreme Court.
It's so bad it is embarrassing. It is exactly how not to write a legal document.
To review: The issue now is simply whether the Supreme Court will put the trial DC-J6 trial hold while it considers whether to grant cert (hear his appeal.)
Ordinarily the order is this:
💠 Person loses and files a writ for certiorari (which means asking SCOTUS to hear the appeal.
💠 SCOTUS decides whether to hear the case.

I have my weekend blog post ready. I always put it here first. The first few people will get that error. Just wait a minute and try again.
I plan to demonstrate that any democratic government—by its very nature and under its own terms—will have a dangerous anti-democratic opposition because eliminating the opposition cannot be done using democratic means.
The opposition can be blunted and, with constant work. . .

The Anti-Democratic Opposition - Teri Kanefield
This week I plan to demonstrate that any democratic government—by its very nature and under its own terms—will have a dangerous anti-democratic opposition. The opposition can be blunted and, with constant work, can be prevented from weakening or toppling the democratic institutions, but anti-democratic opposition can never be eliminated because (1) too many people have […]
Coach GowronIt is not possible to always be your best self. Life is complicated, and every day is full of challenges and compromises. But never forget that your best self is present, and strive to live up to it through it all.

I offer the radical idea that the Colorado Trump-ballot case and the application of section 3 of the 14th Amendment isn’t easy or straightforward.

I am updating this page with new analysis of the new briefing that has been filed. Since I wrote this page, the following briefs have been filed: Trump’s brief is here (January 18). An Amicus Brief filed by 17 members of Congress is here (January 18). An Amicus Brief by a group of election lawyers […]
Dean Burnett (that brains guy)Oh, FFS Elmo
OK, so, a few things
A) the brain size/birth canal thing is an evolved trait. A c-section won't mean your brain then expands like an errant balloon
B) Human brain size has little to do with intelligence
C) The largest brain on record belonged to the inmate of a 19th century Dutch Asylum
Basically, of Muskrat wants to go around insisting he has a big brain, let him? It's nowhere near the 'accomplishment' he thinks it is.

I'm finding this paragraph confusing. Are you saying it would have been good to go more slowly with the introduction of nuclear power, but it's bad to go more slowly with the implementation of AI? You then mix in online speech, which seems to imply curbs on online speech and AI are bad? Seems on one hand you're saying be thoughtful (better nuke implementation), but not the way it's being done with AI and online speech?
Mixing these issues is what is confusing me.
@mmasnick "Over and over again the things he fears as “brakes” on progress are almost always the opposite. They’re attempts to make sure that the progress is in its most useful, least damaging form, in part to avoid an overreaction and limitations as we saw with nuclear power and which some are (ridiculously) seeking around AI and online speech."
