Have it. This was me reading this today, this is not a good use of highlighters. I should ve highlighted what i didn t think was worth reading. It is one of those rulings, for the ages, and it is designed to speak to the general public. The plaintiffs counsel advance this lawsuit for an improper purpose it will be held to account, for their actions. This was about ensuring a preferred political candidate remained in the presidential seat, despite the decision of a nations voters to unseat him. It is, like chest pounding when it comes to defending the integrity of the judiciary, and what lawyers are responsible for when they are allowed into the court and name of the bar. In terms of what they were trying to do, the overall project that trump was trying to pull off with these lawsuits, it is this is a civic document that is for consumption. Of course, this will be appealed, we will get his assessment, he is an appellate lawyer, we will see what the chances are an appealing thing. There
Lost the election was there for all of us to see. We all saw it, we saw it from this position, talking to you every night unfold in realtime. But i ll admit, even as someone who s covered it, day by day felt the danger, worried about where democracy was headed, was up late at night worrying about it, culminating in the january 6th insurrection, even eyes someone very tuned into the news did not quite put all the pieces together at the time. The latest reporting we are getting is a good occasion to revisit it all, look at it in hindsight, now you ve probably seen the news from the new book by two great washington post reporter carol leoning and phil rucker, they report that as trump ceaselessly pushed false claims about the 2020 presidential election, general marked a milley chairman of the joint chiefs of staff grew more nervous, telling aides he feared the president and his acolytes might attempt to use the military to stay in office. Milley described a stomach churning feeling as he

Republicans say extended unemployment benefits in biden s covid relief bill were too generous. They re keeping people who need jobs from taking jobs.

Also tonight, nearly five months after the deadly capitol riot and insurrection led by a pro trump mob, republican house leaders are now openly opposing a bipartisan commission to investigate the riot. Tonight on the eve of the house vote to create the 9/11 style commission, the leadership sent members of their party a letter telling them to vote no. The main objection cited was, quote, the legislation establishes a commission to only investigate the attack on the u. S. Capital on january 6th. An easy answer here would seem to be, well yes, it was the only violent insurrection at the capitol that we know of in the modern era. House minority leader kevin mccarthy set the stage for this earlier today when he came out with his own statement against the commission, noting its scope was too narrow and should include other acts of political violence. Earlier tonight, he defended his position during an appearance on fox news. You remember good friday, an officer was killed. We don t need to i
