Fukuyama: We have reached the end of history.
History: It's 2026, and an official branch of the Ukrainian armed forces is tweeting about how drone striking Andrew Tate while he's clout farming with the Russian military would be fun, but is sadly a war crime. Get bent old man.
I was delighted to learn, when researching for my new article in @thenation.com, that Black Philadelphians were talkin their shit as early as 1848 (decades before the Constitution explicitly guaranteed birthright citizenship, mind you)
and they were right to do so

Suppose SCOTUS decreed Catholicism is now the state religion. It would be absurd to say we have no choice but to submit so long as at least 34 senators won’t vote to remove them. Court packing is part of Madisonian checks and balances, it’s in the Constitution as a tool Congress has in extremis.
And if you don’t like court packing, there’s always the other explicitly textual tool Congress has: jurisdiction stripping. Cut them down to deciding nothing more than original jurisdiction fights over water allocation on the Colorado river. I don’t think that’s the better route but it’s there.
