#Democrats flip #SocialMedia * #censorship* complaints on #Musk, #GOP
#ElonMusk’s #X is facing #impartiality questions after he endorsed #Trump & the *platform* restricted pro-#Harris account.

#Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing #SocialMedia companies of “censoring” * #conservative* viewpoints & skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.

The #Project2025 videos coach future appointees on everything from the nuts & bolts of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats. There are strategies for avoiding embarrassing #FOIA disclosures & ensuring that #conservative #policies aren’t struck down by “left-wing judges.” Some of the content is routine…. Other segments of the training offer guidance on radically changing how the #federal govt works & what it does.

In one video, Bethany Kozma, a #conservative activist & fmr deputy chief of staff at the US Agency for International Development [#USAID] in the #Trump admin, downplays the seriousness of #ClimateChange & says the movement to combat it is really part of a ploy to “control people.”

“If the American people elect a conservative president, his administration will have to eradicate climate change references from absolutely everywhere,” Kozma says.

Here are several of #TimWalz's accomplishments — w/an unusual number of legislative successes scored in March 2023 alone — & setbacks during his tenure as governor.

Walz's use of #EmergencyPowers during the #pandemic — including the institution of a #MaskMandate, business #shutdowns & a #hotline number established to report people violating #SocialDistancing guidelines — outraged his critics.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Several lawsuits followed, including one filed in 2020 by the #conservative Upper Midwest #Law Ctr alleging #TimWalz misinterpreted the #Minnesota Emergency Management Act & illegally bypassed state lawmakers….

The case, which focused on the #COVID #pandemic#MaskMandate, eventually made its way to the MN Supreme Court, which sent it back to the MN Court of Appeals. In July 2023, that court ruled that #Walz indeed had the authority.👏🏻

Whether or not #Biden’s reform plan can pass, it is important that he has planted a flag in opposition to #SCOTUS — a marker for the next generation of #Democrats to work from. And VP #KamalaHarris …has already said that she will pick up the standard if elected in November.

“There is a clear crisis of confidence facing the #SupremeCourt as its fairness has been called into question after numerous #ethics scandals & decision after decision overturning longstanding #precedent,” Harris said…

“These popular reforms will help to restore confidence in the court, strengthen our #democracy & ensure no one is above the #law.”[#Harris cont]
Critics of the #Biden reform plan say that it is an attack on judicial independence,but that’s not right.…the current #SCOTUS—the crown jewel of a #conservative movement that spent 50yrs & millions…trying to shape the court in its favor—is not…independent of the ideological movement & #political party that trained its members & shaped its jurisprudence
It is a testament to #JohnRoberts’s skill as a #politician that he is often viewed as a modest & moderate #judicial institutionalist when, in fact, he has used his position on the court to spearhead a remarkable campaign of #judicial activism. In cases like #ShelbyCountyVHolder in 2013 & the more recent #WestVirginiaVEPA, Roberts all but deployed novel constitutional doctrines (“equal state sovereignty” & the “major questions doctrine”) to achieve his preferred results.

#law#SCOTUS

In just the last term, the Roberts court has rewritten the #14thAmendment to keep Donald #Trump on the presidential ballot as well as radically expanded presidential #power in direct contravention of the history, text & structure of the #Constitution.

We have, in other words, a #corrupt & #lawless court that, led by its #conservative majority, has put itself above the constitutional system as the exclusive arbiter of constitutional meaning.
