Chief Justice Roberts is getting a lot of praise for his "it's the same Constitution" quip, but it's thoroughly undeserved and the hits against Sauer's comments are nothing but cheap shots. It's obvious to anyone listening in good faith that Sauer wasn't making some living constitution argument or implying judges/the executive can unilaterally update its meaning as society changes. The exchange started with Roberts, unprompted, asking Sauer about specifics on the birth tourism industry. Sauer answered with some data about Chinese companies. Roberts then asked whether Sauer agreed that the widespread nature of birth tourism he just described "has no impact on the legal analysis." Sauer pointed to Scalia's Hamdan dissent and its line of reasoning about how the messy/absurd nature of ensuing consequences is a powerful indication that the Court has butchered its interpretation. Roberts then said "well, [birth tourism] certainly wasn't a problem in the 19th century." THIS is when Sauer makes his "we're in a new world now" comment. And it's perfectly reasonable in the context.

In federal court today: FBI examiner says that former US Capitol Police officer-turned-CIA employee Shauni Kerkhoff failed polygraph when asked, twice, if she planted the J6 pipe bombs. FBI polygraph examiner noted her "very controlled reaction" and "seemingly rehearsed response."

This is the clearest data I’ve ever seen as to why women vote democrat, And men vote republican.

IRAN'S FULL "OPEN LETTER" TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: "To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life: Iran—by this very name, character, and identity—is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers—and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors—Iran has never initiated a war. Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it. The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness—not a temporary political stance. For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful— the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented. Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran—a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war. Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done—and continues to do—is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense, and by no means an initiation of war or aggression. Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostility or tension. The turning point, however, was the 1953 coup d’état—an illegal American intervention aimed at preventing the nationalization of Iran’s own resources. That coup disrupted Iran’s democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward U.S. policies. This distrust deepened further with America’s support for the Shah’s regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of the 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression—twice, in the midst of negotiations—against Iran. Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled—from roughly 30% before the Islamic Revolution to over 90% today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives. At the same time, the destructive and inhumane impact of sanctions, war, and aggression on the lives of the resilient Iranian people must not be underestimated. The continuation of military aggression and recent bombings profoundly affect people’s lives, attitudes, and perspectives. This reflects a fundamental human truth: when war inflicts irreparable harm on lives, homes, cities, and futures, people will not remain indifferent toward those responsible. This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people’s interests are truly being served by this war? Was there any objective threat from Iran to justify such behavior? Does the massacre of innocent children, the destruction of cancer-treatment pharmaceutical facilities, or boasting about bombing a country “back to the stone ages” serve any purpose other than further damaging the United States’ global standing? Iran pursued negotiations, reached an agreement, and fulfilled all its commitments. The decision to withdraw from that agreement, escalate toward confrontation, and launch two acts of aggression in the midst of negotiations were destructive choices made by the U.S. government—choices that served the delusions of a foreign aggressor. Attacking Iran’s vital infrastructure—including energy and industrial facilities—directly targets the Iranian people. Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran’s borders. They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an inability to achieve a sustainable solution. Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime? Is it not true that Israel, by manufacturing an Iranian threat, seeks to divert global attention away from its crimes toward the Palestinians? Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier and the last American taxpayer dollar—shifting the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in pursuit of illegitimate interests? Is “America First” truly among the priorities of the U.S. government today? I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants—educated in Iran—who now teach and conduct research at the world’s most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people? Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures—resilient, dignified, and proud."

BREAKING: Iran's President Pezeshkian has officially released an "open letter" to the American people. The letter states: 1. Iran harbors "no enmity" toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries 2. Recent US actions are "aggression" targeting civilians and infrastructure, setting up for long-term global instability 3. "What Iran has done, and continues to do, is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense" 4. The decision to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal was "made by the US government" 5. "Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before" Pezeshkian concludes by saying, "the choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors." We now await Trump's address to the US at 9 PM ET.

A man in Seattle narrowly avoided being pushed under an approaching light rail train. The suspect, identified as Elisio Melendez, reportedly has a long history of mental illness, including schizophrenia, and has repeatedly been deemed unfit to stand trial, resulting in years of cycling in and out of psychiatric care. In 2018, he assaulted a woman inside a church, leaving her injured, and in 2019 was arrested in connection with a stabbing involving his sister—but charges in both cases were ultimately dropped after he was found incompetent to stand trial.

Imagine how easy it would be for Iran to shut down the Straits of H if they had nukes. But they would never do that, right?

In the future, Americans will be robbed, murdered, and raped by illegals, and the judges will call them Americans.

How can we have a country with someone so dumb in such a position of power

Alito is very smart for bringing up military service requirements. In countries with compulsory service (South Korea, Israel, Russia), even if a child is born abroad, they are still required to serve in the military

Birthright citizenship would be mostly a non-issue in a nation w/ full control over its borders & immigration system. Combined with open borders: it is a recipe for national suicide. Regardless of what the Supreme Court decides, we must deport millions.

@ByronMBader Probably not enough ncaa D+1 of high end prospects data out there at this time tbh

@flyguyOX Let's revisit in 5 years. But, as an extra, looking at every F that switched to the NCAA in their D+1 that looked similar at the draft... 9 instances... all busts or replacement level guys. Greenway is a great example and one of the better ones. Similar size, similar results.

Roger McQueen didn't make a big jump in his D+1 year, switching over to the NCAA. In fact, he stayed at the same level. Not great for one of the oldest players in the 2025 draft.

True but Supreme Court is more concerned about virtue signaling than interpreting without bias

ACLU Attorney Cecillia Wang argues that any newborn child, regardless of their parents' legal status and allegiance to foreign nations, even adversaries like Iran, should be granted citizenship without regard to said allegiance. Completely damning.

NEW: An illegal immigrant from Mexico is accused of kidnapping and sodomizing a girl who was under the age of 12 in Lexington, Kentucky. Jorge Luis Martinez-Ulloa came illegally in 2012 (under Obama) & was supposed to leave the country through "voluntary departure," per @ICEgov. He never left. He then victimized the young child Saturday, grabbing her by the arm and neck, trapping her in his apartment, and raping her, according to local reports. The young child didn't know Martinez-Ulloa. She was later hospitalized for her injuries. Martinez-Ulloa is charged with kidnapping of a minor, first-degree strangulation, two counts of first-degree rape involving a victim under 12, two counts of first-degree sodomy involving a victim under 12, and two counts of sexual abuse of a victim under 12.
