He has no idea what a library is.

Trump on Presidential Library: It's going to be most likely a hotel. Could be an office.

@STEWest Having to listen to a woman talk for 13 minutes without interrupting is 12 and a half longer than ever before in his life.
English
This is... amazing. The man stood up in the middle of the proceedings and walked out? He disrupted the proceedings of the Supreme Court?
If that's not showing contempt for the whole structure of our system... What an ass.
(From the NYTimes)
English
@Jakethecrazy19 @Legal_Fil Her point is the following: if a doctor tells a person that having a 14 BMI is healthy, can the state revoke a license. If a doctor says drinking mercury will help you regrow hair, can the state revoke a license. The majority says no. The state issue license cannot be revoked.
English
@Legal_Fil I’m not convinced she always does know the law
People who reach the Supreme Court usually are the greatest legal minds in the country but Jackson has shown again and again that she lacks basic knowledge and intelligence
English
I’m trying to think of the last justice whose elicited so many “I can’t believe I have to explain this to you” reactions from his or her own side.

Justice Kagan, essentially exasperated w/ Justice Jackson... "explaining the difference" supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf… cc: @ishapiro

@PhilsRazor @ChrisDJackson No, there is a commission that oversees the White House grounds. For example, when Melania wanted to add a tennis pavilion, the plans were approved by it. A president can't just burn it down because he wants to. He doesn't own the house.
English
@ChrisDJackson "without permission"...?
From whom? Each president is caretaker of the White House. He'd only need permission to spend tax dollars in excess of what was allocated for facility maintenance.
Stop denying that Trump won & is now President.
English
A basketball court? Please. He put a goal on the tennis courts. That is not even remotely comparable to tearing down a main structure without permission and building a monstrosity that would dwarf the actual White House.
Lance Gooden@Lancegooden
President FDR built an indoor swimming pool with private funds. President Obama built a basketball court with private funds. Yet a single judge can block President Trump from building a PRIVATELY FUNDED ballroom that would benefit generations to come.

@LauraRbnsn For 200 years, courts interpreted the militia clause as relevant to the amendment. Scalia had to get his 5 votes that it was just silly words that meant nothing.
English
@LauraRbnsn Two things as well: (1) there were immigrants when the 14th was drafted. There were questions about Chinese immigration then. And Canada and Mexico went with BRC too. (2) There's the militia clause in the 2nd that had to be written out as meaningless by Scalia et al.
English
Look, I'm not even a hardliner on gun control, but why are we supposed to believe that the people who wrote the 14th amendment erred because they couldn't imagine a modern border but they could imagine an AK-47?
Clay Travis@ClayTravis
The Supreme Court’s debate today: What did people who have been dead for 150 years intend for their law to mean for a modern situation they never conceived could ever occur?
English
@AEKouri @ClayTravis There's actual history on this. And while tied to the reality of the end of slavery, there were actual debates that raised immigration. It's what they picked. Just like Canada and Mexico did.
English
@EditrixLane @ClayTravis If you read the historical documents from when the amendment was passed, it was not intended to be a free for all.
The change was part of the reconstruction following the civil war. It was 100% intended to ensure former slaves & their children would be American citizens.
English
An American citizen’s baby can’t become a Chinese citizen by being born on the soil of China. Can anyone explain why a Chinese citizen’s baby should be able to become an American citizen by being born on the soil here? It’s absolute insanity.
English
@aethelamerican @SeanTrende If you are born in the US to a person who is able to be arrested in the US, that's all that the amendment requires.
And saying it's wrong for liberals is silly. Liberals believe that text matters.
English
@SeanTrende except nothing but a completely tortured "originalist" reading supports birth tourism as it exists today, either
English
I still think it’s hilarious that with the birthright citizenship MAGA has become living constitutionalists (this is a problem they didn’t consider in 1868!) and lefties have become plain meaning/originalist types.
English
@AEKouri @ClayTravis It’s literally what they decided with the 14th. Now, you can change it, but that was the policy decision made then.
English
@ClayTravis Anyone arguing for birthright citizenship does it on an emotional basis. There is absolutely zero logic to make a case that someone here illegally or visiting should be given the privilege of US citizenship.
English
@DrNice2026 @unlogicl Getting a kiddo to eat when they dont want to: you give them their favorite color popsicles.
Burn patient: strawberry milkshakes.
English
Casey Means has never vomited for 3 days in a row, AND he’s never ever TREATED someone who has including a child. He has no idea the magic of a popsicle or a sip of Sprite.
He’d love to require us to serve raw whole milk instead.
Clueless.
Pound sand, Casey.

If a hospital is serving patients sugary drinks, they are out of compliance with government standards and are putting their reimbursements in jeopardy. If you see patients being served sugary drinks, please post information below or let CMS know: cms.gov/medical-bill-r…
English
@danzorn22 @jonathanchait @Acyn Called it. He’s going to get people to build it, and then his kiddos will each get a floor and then will have a hotel with zero debt.
Just think, there can be special rooms where like Putin can read stolen docs.
English
@jonathanchait @Acyn Of course it is. What is fascinating about this is that there are people who will actually donate $ to build it.

@sa25817 @AttyStevenBrown The UK changed their law in like the 1980s, too.
English
@AttyStevenBrown It’s actually not true. Almost every western hemisphere nation has it. Conservatives who usually never wanna look to Europe, are looking to Europe on this issue.
English
It's funny listening to the Solicitor General discuss how the US is one a minority of countries that do birthright citizenship. Only a handful of countries have enshrined a right to bear arms; should we just go along with others as he suggests? What makes America great is we have formed our own way...
English
@bobbypolitics4 @thewreathwright @dilanesper So if a doctor says that having a 14 bmi is healthy, they can keep a state medical license?
English
@thewreathwright @dilanesper And the ban was limiting free speech
English
Quick thread on why I think the Supreme Court didn't think things through on the "conversion therapy" case yesterday (and maybe why I was surprised it was 8-1).
There's a libertarian theory that all state regulation of quack medicine conveyed through words is unconstitutional.
English
English
@RichardMonnick @KlasfeldReports dude common law was invented in the UK, a part of Europe. Educate yourself.
English
Kav:
“I get the point thinking about, ‘Gee, European countries don't have [birthright citizenship], or most other countries — many other countries in the world — don't have this.’”
But he adds he’s “not seeing the relevance as a legal, constitutional interpretive matter.”
English
@JohnPlatner @Geiger_Capital @wolviebets Well they are subject to the jurisdiction! They can be arrested.
The argument that they aren’t subject to the jurisdiction is specious.
English
@Geiger_Capital @wolviebets Subject to the jurisdiction thereof would mean that any illegal that has not made themselves known to federal authorities, is not agreeing to be subjected to our laws. I’m very concerned that this argument is not being made.
English
Justice Alito brings in a key point…
You can’t establish a legal permanent domicile somewhere you are illegally present and subject to removal at any time.
English
@offgridteacher @MkPaxson Don’t feel like you’ve failed if it doesn’t work.
But having both parents do a fun potty dance every time is not to be scoffed at. Every time a parent uses the potty, all doing a potty dance (not while sleeping), not a bad idea.
Lots of towels. Don’t wreck sleep.
English
@TheFoxMatriarch Why be afraid. If you are reading too much on sm, stop. Nothing will change it. Enjoy your life.
A friend stopped all socials including using goodreads, which was just to see what people were reading. She said it was a good thing for her.
English
@korinreid @notaproviderMD As in the X-rays. He just said I had a complete break, with two fractured ribs. So hard pain was going to be a reality not for 3 weeks but 6 weeks. (The emergent care told me cough 6 times a day, and I had to get a blowing thing to do 4 times a day to not get pneumonia.)
English
@korinreid @notaproviderMD The pain was still serious 3 weeks later. And I had the X-ray from vacation. Before the doc got to me, I had another X-ray. And the doc said “I would have put you thru a bunch of motions to save you from the x ray. You want to save that.”
