    Trump lost NASCAR. Think about that. Whoa. WHOA.

      Upon further digging, in 2011 the Acting Solicitor General filed a formal "admission of error," which negates the case as precedent. So that's good.
      I didn't either until Scalia died.

      I'm still not sure that the solicitor general gets to overturn the Supreme Court.

            Bork was a fool but no charlatan. Gonzales was both charlatan and fool.

            I hope Trump nominates Roy Moore tomorrow night. It's really the only thing he could do to continue raising the f-ckstick score of this administration.
            Bork had integrity? Remember the Saturday Night Massacre?

              I don't think he "overturned" the Court per se, rather admitted the DOJ was in error, and the case should not be used as precedent.

                  David Frum is one of my favorite writers at The Atlantic.
                  Frum is one of the valuable few conservatives who is displaying lucidity and integrity at a moment when it is desperately needed from The Right.

                  I first encountered him as a frequent guest on Bill Maher's HBO show Real Time, where I disagreed with nearly everything he had to say about policy. Right after this election, though, he articulated perfectly an idea I had been having -- that one thing this election has taught me is that The Establishment, for all its flaws and all the criticism it deserves, does have real and necessary value.

                  An especially poignant passage in the article DX linked -

                  The oft-debated question “Is Donald Trump a fascist?” is not easy to answer. There are certainly fascistic elements to him...Yet there’s also something incongruous and even absurd about applying the sinister label of fascist to Donald Trump...

                  Perhaps this is the wrong question. Perhaps the better question about Trump is not “What is he?” but “What will he do to us?”

                  By all early indications, the Trump presidency will corrode public integrity and the rule of law—and also do untold damage to American global leadership, the Western alliance, and democratic norms around the world. The damage has already begun, and it will not be soon or easily undone. Yet exactly how much damage is allowed to be done is an open question—the most important near-term question in American politics. It is also an intensely personal one, for its answer will be determined by the answer to another question: What will you do? And you? And you?

                  Of course we want to believe that everything will turn out all right. In this instance, however, that lovely and customary American assumption itself qualifies as one of the most serious impediments to everything turning out all right. If the story ends without too much harm to the republic, it won’t be because the dangers were imagined, but because citizens resisted.

                        Dont worry guys...we are mere hours away from joe and Sicatoka posting articles from real news sources like The Washington Examiner that will tell us that Obaama did all these things as did Clinton, Abraham Lincoln and probably George Washington. This is obvious liberal bias

                            They don't. This is akin to someone winning a lawsuit, then admitting years later they shouldn't have. The case is still in the books, and the courts can still use it as precedent.

                                She had the courage of her convictions, and I think she deserves our respect for that.

                                To go back the Atlantic article again, Frum, while acknowledging the legal avenues and authorities available to the president, points out:
                                That statement is true, and it points to a deeper truth: The United States may be a nation of laws, but the proper functioning of the law depends upon the competence and integrity of those charged with executing it.
                                He goes on to say at the end of the piece, amidst a list of duties We The People must embrace:
                                Honor civil servants who are fired or forced to resign because they defied improper orders.
                                I agree.
