Rudy Giuliani has come out of retirement for the first time in 28 years to litigate on behalf of the Trump campaign. To say his gears were a little rusty would be the understatement of the century: Giuliani walked into court this week and couldn’t remember the name of the judge, couldn’t remember the name of his opposing counsel, couldn’t remember the meaning of “opacity,” and couldn’t argue the proper standard of review in the case. As our podcast hosts remind us, effective lawyers not only know how to make a constructive argument, but also tailor their advocacy to the humanity of the judge. Giuliani did neither of these things. After catching up on the latest election litigation disputes, David and Sarah discuss imminent lawless action in the context of the First Amendment and two of their favorite television shows.

So the Republican National Committee actually tweeted out this quote from Sidney Powell:
"We will not be intimidated...We are going to clean this mess up now. President Trump won by a landslide. We are going to prove it. And we are going to reclaim the United States of America for the people who vote for freedom."—Sidney Powell
I am beyond disgusted by the RNC.
2 thoughts:
1) why is the idea that your religion speaks against homosexuality and therefore the law should too an acceptable idea but pacifism isn’t? Or since you defended pacifism a bit why is anti homosexuality a more defensible idea than anti mixed cloth garments?
As a liberal I have a pretty easy test, I don’t give a cr** if your ideas stem from a text or not if they are bad ideas they are bad ideas and I can use them. It seems like David is the one introducing a Souteresque balancing test here.
Secondly really are we really that surprised that Barrett gets a free pass and Warnock and Wright do not?? Hmmmmmmmm what could they have in common and also possibly have in common with the recent gop animus towards Atlanta, Philly and Milwaukee...
I wouldn’t attribute these feelings to you two in any scenario but I think you are dancing around the larger reality that the official GOP position in 2020 is that black people cant have the vote or their own religion...
