    Oh, reason . com, making anthills (not even molehills) into mountains for decades.
    the Volokh Conspiracy is pretty unpleasant, overall.

    Tough luck on that family connection. No one should go anywhere near a Madigan right now.

    Normally Reason has decent content for being libertarian. Sometimes the editors fall and you get something like this.

    Can't disagree, but Lisa Madigan is/was awesome.
    So odd that she never changed her name back (she only changed it to Madigan as a teenager).

    I read reason on occasion. Their "superiority complex" bothers me when I do read it.

    There is often something there to be bothered about but normally it is the sort of bother you get from a George Will not the bother you get from a Trump administration appointee.

    Watch out for Xavier Bercerra. He's been highlited as someone who's fought Trump, has been campaigning for Biden, he spoke as the Dem rebuttal for State of the Union...only issue is that some might view him as too friendly to tech, and Tech + Monopoly is going to be a big issue in the next 4 years

    EDIT

    He's been California AG since 2016

    I am seriously puzzled by this....Is that the best they get? I know the cult will swallow everything but seriously the absurdity of this crap is mind boggling.

    Fox News Insists Biden Didn’t Actually Pick Harris

    Daily Beast: “It took Fox News no more than an hour after Joe Biden selected Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate to start dabbling in wild speculation and conspiracy theories about the hidden, nefarious reasons behind the pick.”

    “In the day after the ex-veep and presumptive Democratic nominee announced his running mate, Fox News hosts pushed a number of unsupported theories largely centered around two themes: Harris forced her way onto the ticket and intends to usurp or overtaken Biden; and/or Biden is not mentally capable of selecting his own running mate, and so Harris was installed by a shadowy, unseen puppeteer.”

    I have to say that Biden's speech is powerful. He brought his A game and is tearing El Trumpo. Strong support for Kamala's as well. Presidential.

    Harris is doing fine here, but soaring oratory was never her strong point. Of course that's true of Joe as well. But their message is well taken, and felt

    The Biden campaign has raised over $ 26 M the last 24 hours. Money is not going to be an issue for Team Biden-Harris.

    Here is how it is done:

    I preferred Rice. They chose Harris.

    Let's go Biden-Harris!

    Newsweek bringing in the Kamala Harris birthers to question her eligibility to be VP

    https://www.newsweek.com/some-questions-kamala-harris-about-eligibility-opinion-1524483

    The writer is claiming that even though Harris was born in the US, since neither one of her parents were US citizens at the time she was born, she is not a natural born citizen.
