Expand The Court

The only way it's going to happen is to get a solid Democratic majority in both the House and Senate. THIS CAN BE DONE if we just get people off their asses!

I'm Not Sure…

…how much of this is truth and how much is liberal hyperbole/panic, but if true it is very concerning to anyone who values free speech and their right to privacy.

It supposedly has only a 5% chance of passing, but nothing is guaranteed—especially in today's environment.

Sounds Familiar, Doesn't It?

Hitler's sales pitch to the German people was grounded in the idea that average German working people were victims and Hitler was their champion.

He claimed Jews, homosexuals, and socialists had "stabbed Germany in the back" by participating in negotiations for the Treaty of Versailles that imposed punitive conditions on the country, producing widespread poverty and an economic crisis.

If the German people were victims, Hitler told them, the villains were German minorities, promoting degeneracy like jazz and swing music, tolerance of homosexuality and transgender people, and the "international Jewish conspiracy."

Once the Nazis took power they banned books, outlawed drag shows and homosexuality, changed school curricula to remove mention of their atrocities in WWI, and rewrote election laws so they'd never again lose an election.

Indicted!

And the country isn't burning. At least not yet.

First true criminal elected.

Republicans could have avoided the embarrassment of Trump but they could not resist someone who fights for white collar criminals, wimpy misogynists/incels, insecure townies, sex predators, conspiracy bigots, idiots who say 'Democtrat Party', antisemites with uses 'globalists'/Soros in place of 'I dont understand this issue', and your basic unabashed racist.

[It's not that this slipped past me yesterday; we were hip-deep in moving and I only saw it when I briefly went online.]

Don't Mess With the Mouse

This brings me such joy.

The Orlando Sentinel reports:

Gov. Ron DeSantis' handpicked board overseeing Disney World's government services is gearing up for a potential legal battle over a 30-year development agreement they say effectively renders them powerless to manage the entertainment giant's future growth in Central Florida.

Ahead of an expected state takeover, the Walt Disney Co. quietly pushed through the pact and restrictive covenants that would tie the hands of future board members for decades, according to a legal presentation by the district's lawyers on Wednesday.

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District's new Board of Supervisors voted to bring in outside legal firepower to examine the agreement, including a conservative Washington, D.C., law firm that has defended several of Gov. Ron DeSantis' culture war priorities.

Orlando's ABC affiliate reports:

WFTV worked with an independent attorney who specializes in government law to analyze the agreement Wednesday morning. Upon initial review, the attorney said the agreement appeared to be valid. "I'm struggling to find a reason why it's unlawful," the attorney said, noting the type of agreement struck was normal between large developers and governments, it was properly noticed and Reedy Creek's leadership willingly entered into it.

The unusual part, the attorney said, was the powers the agreement locked in. However, the attorney noted nothing about the existing structure of Reedy Creek was normal and, in that context, the agreement made sense. They also said Reedy Creek and Florida lawmakers could run into constitutional issues if they tried to undo the agreement since governments can't impair existing contracts.

Orlando's NBC affiliate reports:

Particular focus was paid to one section that board members said locked in development rights of a particular parcel until 21 years after the death of the youngest current descendant of King Charles, or until Disney abandons the resort. "We gave governmental control to Disney," new board member Brian Aungst summarized. Other board members were harsher in their assessment. "Disney tried to be king for a day," Chairman Martin Garcia said. Garcia referenced taking it all the way to the United States Supreme Court if necessary.

Mark My Words…

They are itching to get this whole matter before the Supreme Court in hopes of creating a "Final Solution."

Did anyone seriously think they were going to stop with abortion rights? I don't think it's too hyperbolic to say they these MAGA nutjob Republicans have wet dreams of reinstating slavery and straight white male ownership of everything.
