How does her writing fit with your evaluation of the majority decision?

What’s worse: A diminished president or failed policies? The presidential debate raised questions about Joe Biden’s competence. Still, the perception of America’s weakness is about more than cognitive decline. https://www.jns.org/whats-worse-a-diminished-president-or-failed-policies/

A neurosurgeon diagnoses Joe Biden https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/a-neurosurgeon-diagnoses-joe-biden ”My prediction is that the President will have increasing troubles walking over the next six months, eventually needing some sort of assistive device. His dementia will probably advance during that time as well. We are not seeing the same Joe Biden of even a year ago.”

Well if you don't know what I mean Won't you stand up and scream? 'cause there's things goin' on that you don't know

Just as a figure of speech, Bartlett.

Rep. Norman, SC, saying he believes the House will pass Inherent Contempt for Merrick Garland’s arrest to force him to produce the Biden interrogation videos.

Overruling Chevron doesn’t eliminate the agencies, it doesn’t give Congress the power to decide regulatory cases, it eliminates the deference given to agencies to write, prosecute, and judge their own laws. Congress will still write the laws, the agencies will investigate, and if controversy arises, the difference is that it can be adjudicated by jury trial. That’s the difference, instead of bureaucrats, you get a jury.

It was written “between the lines” and as for the “way we used to do it” that has only been since Nixon, and predominantly by Republicans. The Congressionally contemptuous AG Eric Holder made no beans about being O’Bama’s wing man.

The Supreme Court didn’t change anything, they simply published what has been understood since the beginning, at least until FJB and Merrick Garland took office. Weaponizing the justice system to attack your political rival is unconstitutional. Officials acting officially are protected, officials acting corruptly are not. Nothing about this part of the ruling is new or improved over what has been practiced for centuries. What got my attention, made me say: “Wow!” was the part by Clarence Thomas. He wrote: "If this unprecedented prosecution is to proceed, it must be conducted by someone authorized to do so by the American people." Indicating that Jack Smith is not legally qualified to prosecute this case.

His condition has been obvious since before he took office. By not covering it, they just participated in disenfranchising millions of dimocrat voters who’ll have no say in who their candidate is, if he drops out before the election.

U.S. bases in Europe on elevated alert status. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/06/30/u-s-military-bases-europe-placed-on-heightened-security-alert/ “A United States official stated that the current threat level had not been seen “in at least 10 years,” according to CNN.“

A couple of doctors have weighed in and each said that they would test him for Parkinson’s if he were their patient. It is nearly impossible to remove him from the ticket; he would have to personally withdraw, and then state laws complicate what would happen then. In the meantime, we are left vulnerable. Congress needs to act quickly to ensure implementation of the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Our soldiers, and our country, doesn’t have a cognizant, responsible, commander in chief.
