Precisely! Paul Ryan is a “wonk” in the sense that most undergraduate students are “wonks.” (I include the 18-22 year old version of myself in this group). They have ideologies on how the world should work but never get into actually playing out how those ideologies may be functionally enacted and the consequences of…

1) Completely redoing your constitutional model is not easy. Why haven’t we Americans gotten rid of the electoral college? It’s anti-democracy, after all. Having a queen with no formal power is less anti-democratic than having Presidential canidates get over 2 million more votes and still lose. Changing things is…

As a fellow lawyer, just thank you for explaining why this is significant in a clear and accessible way. I literally feel like my brain is going to dribble out my ears I’ve had such a long day, but I about risked it to explain when I saw the disaster upthread of people attempting to explain the federal judiciary to a…

Here, do what I do when I need a laugh and a break from the real Trump administration. I go watch Conan’s running sketch of calls between Obama and Trump. These sketches never get old.

To be fair, Louie Gohmert is an awful human being whose continued existence is proof that God does not exist because if he did, Congressman Gohmert would have been smote a long time ago.
