Some justices suggested during oral arguments that they were taking a sweeping approach to the case. “We are writing a rule for the ages,” Justice #Gorsuch said.
#Trump is facing 4 charges stemming from his attempts to overturn #Biden’s victory in the #2020election, the most serious of which carries a max of 20 yrs in #prison. The case has been on hold while #SCOTUS *considers* Trump’s argument that presidents are immune from prosecution for *official* acts they take while in office.

Via David Axelrod:
Reality check:
#Biden is the nominee of the Democratic Party, nominated by voters in primaries across the country. Unless the POTUS, himself, decides to quit--which he won't--that issue is settled.
The discussion that is going on now was timely a year ago, when few wanted to have it.
It's largely irrelevant today.
I agree and am so glad to see these concerns aired. The convention would be a disaster. Even if #Biden has a few lapses, his skill and experience far outweigh any downsides. And he has a great team! Trump is completely incompetent and malignant, and his team, as we have already experienced, is and will be exponentially more so. Imagine pardoning Stewart Rhodes and making him Secretary of Defense?

‘Hello from my Black job’: Dems strike back after Trump debate remark
Democratic politicians took to social media Friday to poke fun at and criticize former president Donald Trump’s remark during the debate that immigrants coming into the United States illegally are “taking Black jobs.”

‘Hello from my Black job’: Dems strike back after Trump debate remark
Democratic politicians took to social media to condemn and question former president Donald Trump’s remark that undocumented immigrants are “taking Black jobs.”Lori Rozsa (The Washington Post)
The debate “production values” sucked as far as Biden was concerned — lighting, makeup, and camera angles seemed to be designed to make him look as old as possible — “death warmed over” captures it. Also, his mic probably could’ve been adjusted to make him more audible, and at times it looked like he was straining to hear.
CNN must’ve done this purposely for just the reasons you said— keep the “race” close. Haha! They musta been ecstatic when Biden showed up hoarse from a cold— the cherry on top.
But one thing I’ve been meaning to ask you. It’s my understanding that the Biden camp offered these two debates— take it or leave it. So why do you think they wanted one to be so early before the conventions?
"Meanwhile, the New York Times Editorial Board did not ask Donald Trump to step down. Not after he was held liable for rape or fraud or defamation. Not after he was convicted on all 34 counts by a jury of his peers. Not even after he vomited lie after lie at the debate and refused to admit that he’d accept the results of the 2024 election."

“I know I’m not a young man, to the state the obvious. Well, I know I don’t walk as easy as I used to, I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to, I don’t debate as well as I used to, but I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth..
I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know, like millions of Americans, I know, when you get knocked down, you get back up.
I would rather have Joe Biden drooling on the Resolute Desk while the intelligent and eminently competent team he has assembled runs the country than have Trump smearing catsup on the Oval Office walls while the team of actual Nazis and sycophantic idiots he has assembled dismantles our democracy and civil rights.

The #Biden admin had asked the justices to take up the case, United States v. Skrmetti, arguing that the measure outlaws treatment for #gender dysphoria in youths & “frames that prohibition in explicitly sex-based terms.”
In the government’s petition to #SCOTUS, Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Prelogar wrote that the #law bans #transgender #medical care but that it “leaves the same treatments entirely unrestricted if they are prescribed for any other purpose.”
