@samuelmoyn @jenszalai This is a very interesting answer! I meant to get into this the other day, but I don't believe the distinction between "good" and "justified" she's trying to draw is philosophically tenable. That said, it's an interesting one worth thinking about. — PolitiTweet.org

@gregsasso @phylliskessel i found it thanks — PolitiTweet.org

Apparently I was just yelling "give me PDF!" so loudly at Google Scholar that @phylliskessel asked me if something was wrong — PolitiTweet.org

@RottenInDenmark I'm basically the opposite kind of weirdo by inclination, I love theory and abstraction, so it's really helpful to find someone who basically agrees with you on most stuff in an extremely different way — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

One thing I really like about @RottenInDenmark's work is the way he zeroes in on one specific factual claim and subjects it to deep scrutiny. This is a great example on an important topic. — PolitiTweet.org

@dric_tom see the two follow up tweets! — PolitiTweet.org

@CollieYimby yeah i agree with this, cut him some slack because he was speaking off the cuff and dealing with an angry person, but it reads badly when written down — PolitiTweet.org

It's probably just a matter of phrasing but every time I come across someone referencing this anecdote — it's weirdly common — the whole thing feels off — PolitiTweet.org

It's always weird to me that this gets trotted out as a story of a better political era. Like yes, McCain didn't viciously attack Obama, but he also implied that Obama couldn't be both an Arab and "a decent family man" https://t.co/ZqzlTT33Ik — PolitiTweet.org

@Dannyblinderman I would be very surprised if that finding replicated after Merrick Garland and Kavanaugh just given descriptive data (e.g., https://t.co/QW4vByetCZ). My guess is that the perception of court as GOP-dominated has delinked those two things. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@Dannyblinderman Not to mention how different the current political climate is, especially with Trump and rising distrust of political institutions and extreme polarization — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@Dannyblinderman It did, though! Even as of 2011, "attitudes concerning the decision in Bush v. Gore remain a statistically significant variable in predicting Court approval and confidence." https://t.co/f9P1QsfdcF — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile in Canada, abortion rights are so settled that Conservative candidates have to insist that they won't even *talk about* repealing them https://t.co/eghETawQob — PolitiTweet.org

Every single major institution in American public life is becoming infected with partisanship, governed by it. The military is the only possible exception, but even that may not hold. This is a recipe for a political crisis that makes the 2020 election look like peanuts. — PolitiTweet.org

Even setting aside the devastating policy implications, the Supreme Court overturning Roe in 2022 would do massive damage to the Court's legitimacy among liberals. So what happens if it's once again asked to decide a contested election — and sides with Trump? — PolitiTweet.org

The construct of an anti-Trump "deep state" always seemed a little off, given that the state security apparatus — FBI, CIA, the military — isn't exactly populated by civil libertarians and progressives — PolitiTweet.org
