The late great John Dingell’s last tweet.
Sadly and unfortunately, sir, we are. Rest in peace and thank you.
Let’s hope the new breed is ready to work as hard as John Dingell. I think they are, but they’re not tested yet.
h/t John Gruber:
Hundreds of Bounty Hunters Had Access to AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint Customer Location Data for Years
…Around 250 bounty hunters and related businesses had access to AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint customer location data, with one bail bond firm using the phone location service more than 18,000 times, and others using it thousands or tens of thousands of times, according to internal documents obtained by Motherboard from a company called CerCareOne, a now-defunct location data seller that operated until 2017. The documents list not only the companies that had access to the data, but specific phone numbers that were pinged by those companies.
In some cases, the data sold is more sensitive than that offered by the service used by Motherboard last month, which estimated a location based on the cell phone towers that a phone connected to. CerCareOne sold cell phone tower data, but also sold highly sensitive and accurate GPS data to bounty hunters; an unprecedented move that means users could locate someone so accurately so as to see where they are inside a building. This company operated in near-total secrecy for over 5 years by making its customers agree to “keep the existence of cercareone.com confidential,” according to a terms of use document obtained by Motherboard….
If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to worry about, right?
Godspeed, Congressman Dingell.
He’ll be remembered as one of the greats long after traitors like Nunes and crooks like Issa and do-nothings like Ryan are long consigned to history’s shitcan.
Seth and his writers are on top of their game. One of his best Closer Looks.
🚨🚨🚨Roberts joins liberals to block Louisiana’s abortion law🚨🚨🚨 https://t.co/wNka1sm0VO
— Mark Joseph Stern (@mjs_DC) February 8, 2019
Kavanaugh was willing to let Louisiana ignore Supreme Court precedent to enforce an unconstitutional TRAP law.
He has loudly signaled that he isn’t willing to enforce Roe and its progeny. This is a declaration of war on Roe by Kavanaugh.— Mark Joseph Stern (@mjs_DC) February 8, 2019
It’s pretty clear why Roberts voted with the liberals here. Louisiana and the 5th Circuit were attempting to overrule the Supreme Court’s 2016 Whole Woman’s Health decision. Roberts may yet overrule WWH—but he isn’t willing to do so on an emergency appeal.
Kavanaugh is.— Mark Joseph Stern (@mjs_DC) February 8, 2019

Trump and the GOP are intent on destroying women’s right to choose. Kavanaugh is intent on overturning Roe. That’s his mission and the GOP picked him for that express purpose, no matter how much he ignores stare decisis and decades of precedence.
He’s not a jurist. He’s a saboteur of the judicial process to legislate from the bench - he’s pushing a policy outcome that would ignore decades of legal rulings, and supreme court decisions that have sound foundation.
Roberts couldn’t go down that route, because the court just ruled on this very issue a few years ago, and it would reveal the right wingers on the bench to be pure partisan hacks who don’t care about the rule of law, precedent, or the process to legislate from the bench.
As with most things, the GOP projects like IMAX when they complain about the judicial activists, they’re just complaining that the activists aren’t doing the right wing bidding.

Was there any way for the Dems to keep Kavanaugh off the court by pursuing his financial irregularities and his perjury during the pre-Ford hearings? It was the Trump’s handling of the Ford hearings that really solidified the Republican Senate and may have doomed some Democratic Senators in the November election.

Democrats didn’t have the numbers before the election. It was a forgone conclusion based on the rules in effect at the time.

If things had stayed focused on his financial dealings, it might have gotten too rough for him, because he wasn’t able to explain the sudden payoff of his debts. It was certainly making people uncomfortable. That’s why the right was actually willing to run with the other stuff, he-said-are-you-going-to-believe-what-she-said. But that’s speculation now.

Kinda-sorta-not-contrarian opinion: Falwell and his Pulpit Pimp brethren support Trump for one reason only: politics. They know the Orange Anus cares only about about being admired and applauded: and if they do it ( with “God’s” endorsement, no less), they figure they’ll have an uncritical ally in the WH. For what that’s worth.
Hypocritical? Given that The Donald is a walking compendium of The Seven Deadlies, with no discernible religious feelings, sure. But he’ll use the bully pulpit to praise them, and help push their pet hates and grifts, so machts nicht…

How’s that pellet stove work in the deep freeze?
As long as the electrics aren’t out, like normal.
The Reverend William J Barber has an oped in WaPo:
…Scapegoating politicians who are caught in the act of interpersonal racism will not address the fundamental issue of systemic racism. We have to talk about policy. But we also have to talk about trust and power. If white people in political leadership are truly repentant, they will listen to black and other marginalized people in our society. They will confess that they have sinned and demonstrate their willingness to listen and learn by following and supporting the leadership of others. To confess past mistakes while continuing to insist that you are still best suited to lead because of your experience is itself a subtle form of white supremacy.
At the same time, we cannot allow political enemies of Virginia’s governor to call for his resignation over a photo when they continue themselves to vote for the policies of white supremacy. If anyone wants to call for the governor’s resignation, they should also call for the resignation of anyone who has supported racist voter suppression or policies that have a disparate impact on communities of color…
…In our present moral crisis, we must remember that real repentance is possible — and it looks like working together to build the multiethnic democracy we’ve never yet been.
Republicans don’t repent—they’ll work to see that their racist agenda is entrenched—gerrymandering, excessive police authority, blocking health care reform, wars of plunder, destroying gun laws, stripping workers’ rights, environmental destruction, voting rights.
I hope that Northam will work with the Rev Barber & and POC in VA to start the healing process, and set an example for the US to finally talk about the original sin of slavery.

Putting alcohol in ice cream isn’t a new thing; Alton Brown touted adding small amounts of booze (such as vodka, since it’s as clear, odorless, and tasteless as booze can be, short of PGA) for years in the original run of Good Eats to homemade ice cream/sherbet recipes because it helps make the ice crystals finer/smaller when it fully sets, making it smoother on the palate.

It has advantages. It’s hopper-fed, so there’s a constant burn rate rather than relying on parts burning away at unpredictable rates.

But Clinton’s impeachment was over something that happened while he was President; could Kavanaugh be impeached for an illegal(unethical?) action before he was appointed to the Supreme Court?

Republicans made it clear during Clinton’s impeachment that it does not matter. Remember they said that if Hillary had been elected they would have impeached her over Uranium 1, Benghazi and the Clinton Foundation!
re: #118 Hecuba’s daughter
Technical question: could the House Dems open an investigation into Kavanaugh’s financial irregularities and use that as a possible reason for impeachment? Or does judicial impeachment usually require violations while serving in the current position?
The House can impeach for any reason it pleases, and the Senate can remove from office similarly.
So the only relevant point here is that there’s no way in hell to get 2/3 in the Senate for removing Kavanaugh.
Getting caught up on the day’s news regarding AMI and Bezos.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t blackmail illegal? Like, call in the cops and FBI and have someone arrested illegal? Is the Enquirer doing this because they got immunity from Muller, and think they’re untouchable?
I’m still trying to wrap my head around this. I know we live in insane times, but Jesus Christ; a large media corporation trying to blackmail one of the world’s richest men into shutting down said man’s newspaper investigations?
What the fuck am I missing here?

At the time, I always felt that Lewinsky-Gate was partially Republican payback for Watergate and driving Nixon from office. Still do, to be honest.

TNSTAIIYAR - There’s no such thing as “illegal” if you’re a Republican.

Partially? I always thought it was at least 90% payback for Nixon, and this was back when I still sometimes voted Republican
