Ralph and Rhode Island Senator, Sheldon Whitehouse, dive into his new book “The Scheme: How the Right Wing Used Dark Money to Capture the Supreme Court.” And Ralph takes the opportunity with the Senator to pitch his "Winning America" strategy for the Democrats to use in the midterms. In addition, our resident constitutional expert, Bruce Fein, stops by to argue that so many of the books about Trump and other American presidents emphasize personality and ignore the constitutional implications of their decisions.
I can't afford to listen to your show anymore because you won't let me download it through the free wifi at ShopRite, in the laundromat, and the library.
Are you also working to restore the five years of comments that disappeared with the switch to Substack?
It is difficult enough to be patient with the failure to fully address those comments by Ralph and the removal of those comments from the archives could be seen as an attempt to destroy the evidence of Ralph's failure to address the issues raised in those comments.
Why aren't the Democrats fighting harder; what are they for? In a recent article in Harper's magazine, Andrew Cockburn writes, "Ever since Bernie Sander's 2016 campaign, Democratic Party leadership has made it abundantly clear that eliminating the leftist insurgency is perhaps its highest priority." Is the Democratic leadership really interested in winning, or maintaining control of the party?
I was with you a year ago on this, but not now. The pandemic and the reckless and deadly "vaccines", the suppression of free speech, the Ukraine war, makes the Dems unsupportable intellectually.
As Sen. Whitehouse said you can't solve the problem if you don't understand what the problem is.
The reason the Deathocrats do not campaign on your twelve issues is they are just as dependent on the corporate money as the Republikillers. This by design. The problem is that Deathocrats are only providing a false alternative and have no intention of doing anything they do campaign on.
55, 60 or 65 Deathocrat Senators will find excuses once they get elected to only provide superficial treating of the symptoms rather than actually solve the problems as solving the problems would be going against the big money interests that they work for.
If you want to get dark money and big money out of politics you need to stop promoting the propaganda that the Deathocrats and Republikillers are opposition parties when they are really each one half of the one big money party.
So let's you and I have a citizen discussion group on the Radio Hour about One Demand organizing citizens to demand small donor candidates and enforcing that demand with our votes and begin solving the problem of big money corrupting our political process instead of offering more of the usual suspects spewing propaganda again such as Chris Hedges.
Voting for big money Deathocrats hasn't worked for forty years and it will not work in the next forty years.
Let's discuss and work together to achieve a real alternative now.
The bottom line to this show about the constitution and the capture of the Supreme Court by the right wing down plays the fact that Biden is the Current President and not Donald Trump. My questions to Ralph and others - Is there a chance that U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty orders Fauci, Psaki, Top Officials Be Deposed in Big Tech Censorship Case has a chance to gain traction and succeed?
As a long time liberal who supported ACLU and now feels betrayed for its lack of NOT defending free speech rigorously like it did in the past, is the New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) a possible alternative to the ACLU or a biased right wing organization?

You don't need to download it. Just push the play button on the home page. It's right there for you.
My plan gives me only four gigabytes of data each month.
Okay, we're still getting oriented to our new space. We will try to add a download button. Thanks for your patience.
Today, I downloaded .578 gigabytes of podcasts believing that was on the laundromat's wifi, and it wasn't.

Thank you, Steve!
