    I mean, damage to the legitimacy of government institutions is necessarily bad. People need to have faith in them in order that they function. The weird part is the idea that solution to a legitimacy problem is not better behavior, but less revelations about bad (or anyway, confidence-diminishing) behavior.

    while cameras wouldn’t change them having already written their opinions before even hearing arguments the idea that making them stay awake during the farce would make the justices just a little more miserable is reason enough for me to think it’s a great idea.

    Speaking of something imitated by Mr. Burns that sound mixing has a real “Hello. Republicans. You’re. Quite good. At voting. For me.” vibe.

    But my back! Can't I study for the "singing dramatically at the barricade" portion instead?

    Even the French Revolution. Getting rid of the monarchy as a necessary precondition for a painful transition to a democratic republic

    I don't understand why that list is being talked about without immediately focusing on why it needed saying not to bring toasters.

    didn't they mean "e.g. toasters" or really are toasters are the only appliances they're worried about?

    Two people have died in a Pennsylvania chocolate factory accident. Not Charlie or grandpa Joe in case you're wondering.

    Guessing there's a bit of tailgating going on at these events. Maybe?

    Apparently though knives, swords, and bow and arrows are completely okay.

    I remember when John Grisham wrote about this in The Rainmaker, only it was in 1995.

    I mean this isn’t very novel. He’s trying to reach back to that point that American colonists already had this system of government in place prior to the war and had many of the same leaders. That’s a much smaller lift than countries that were trying to create a whole new form of government for the first time in the middle of a violent conflict.
