Trump says presidents are above the law. The justices are listening.
Welcome to this weekend’s edition of the Surge, the best reading material for when you’re bored in your tent on a college encampment.of Trump-related material in this newsletter, and yet zero of it is about his ongoing criminal trial. Elsewhere, we check in on how a freshly liberated Mitch McConnell is putting on his zoot suit and spats and living it up a little. Kristi Noem tells all about the animal graveyard she’s put together and stocked over the years.
They were truly all over the place. Brett Kavanaugh babbled about how he didn’t like the lapsed independent counsel statute. Samuel Alito stroked his chinny chin chin and suggested thatgranting presidential immunity would encourage outgoing presidents to try to cling to power. Trump’s lawyer was asked whether the president could be immune for assassinating a political rival, andIt appears that SCOTUS will neither grant Trump’s “absolute immunity” argument nor dismiss it out of hand.
by McConnell’s standards, though, in how freewheeling he’s been in taking questions and how openly he’s been dishing. At a press conference on Tuesday, McConnell—who typically takes exactly three questions per week—would talk to anyone who’d listen. He specifically name-dropped Tucker Carlson’s anti-Ukraine monologues as a setback for his party, because he “had an enormous audience, which convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake.
it includes a story about how Noem once went on a shooting spree of her own animals. She describes an unruly former—hard emphasis on—dog she owned named Cricket. Cricket, only 14 months old, was a handful. She not only bit Noem, but once attacked her friend’s family’s chickens, “grabb one chicken at a time, crunching it to death with one bite, then dropping it to attack another.” So she led Cricket to a “gravel pit” and shot her.
