    A notable lawyer's take

    At the risk of being precisely who everyone expects me to be, I don’t think you can put term limits on justices without a constitutional amendment, and I’m 100% confident at least five current justices think you can’t.

      when did liberals start thinking "move the overton window left" meant "bait people into vooting blue with false promises of half-baked vaguely left wing ideas"?

        I've gotten to the point that I've stopped trying to understand liberals. I nearly always put "Rhetorical question:" at the beginning of a sentence if I ask something like "Why are liberals like this?"

        @questauthority mentioning the Overton window is a pretty good bit even if it isn't actually a bit and "question" is trucated.

        Said it before, gonna keep saying it. AOC is a generational talent as a politician, and that's not a remotely close call.

        It just became a way of admitting to their being all talk, but that being good actually. Not even incremental material change, just incremental change in the "discourse", which will (if you're a good voter) lead to it.
