My dispatch from the first-ever CPAC Israel, where I watched JD Vance take selfies with Ric Grenell and learned about the internal contradictions of the effort to internationalize the nationalist right https://t.co/SfNKsetvF7 — PolitiTweet.org

@alexcruik a pure proportional parliamentary system with a unicameral legislature and no formal constitution is the stuff of conservative nightmares — PolitiTweet.org

@AsafShaloo Good point, been hearing a bit about this. There are a few ways that Bibi could approach this issue if he gets 61 and they aren't mutually exclusive, so you could see an override bill *and* a move to politicize the appointment process — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I think that's definitely part of it. But another part is that Israeli political system is very different from the American one — judicial appointments are non-partisan, to name one of several key differences. That changes the Court's role in politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

You could read this as evidences that nobody really cares about formal rules: people support judicial review when it delivers their preferred outcomes and oppose it when it doesn't — PolitiTweet.org

One thing that's interesting about being in Israel right now is that the political discussion about their Supreme Court is 100 percent reversed. Here, conservatives want to strip the Court's powers while the center-left is defending it as a key democratic institution. — PolitiTweet.org

@abuaardvark to me it seems like it's mostly about begging the saudis for help with inflation with a pit stop in israel to avoid snubbing a friendly government before an election — PolitiTweet.org

I maintain the Moriquendi don't play the role that Dark Elves play in the cosmology necessary to make sense of Moldbug's post, but this is a good point — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias it's messy not just because the ideas are dumb, but also because he's mixing and matching fantasy universes. dark elves aren't in tolkien, it's a subsequent innovation that i primarily associate with d&d — PolitiTweet.org

@janecoaston Okay so this is comparing movies *directed at* a younger audience from that era to movies *about* young people today. The actual peer group is American Pie, Road Trip, and Eurotrip - which, uh, not exactly innocent. — PolitiTweet.org

@kombiz that's what i've come to believe, i've started demanding that he pay on venmo and he is...all of a sudden less responsive — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Also if anyone in the DC area is in the market for two comfy red couches in solid shape, seems like reasonable odds they'll be available — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Attempting to sell a couch on Craigslist, and the person is trying to pay by mailed check (that hasn't arrived yet) and for me to front the expense for movers to take away the couch. What are the odds this check will bounce? — PolitiTweet.org
