The polarization in today’s Congress has roots that go back decades On average, Democrats and Republicans are farther apart ideologically today than at any time in the past 50 years.

FWIW: I don’t think OKC could realistically sustain an MLB team and I have no idea where a stadium could even go.

Please give me an OKC bid out of left field (but make them AL so I can still cheer for the Braves, too)

I spent most of my summer evenings catching up on horror movies. Some rewatches, but most were first time. These were my favorites

β€œThe friends and adversaries of the plan of the convention, if they agree in nothing else, concur at least in the value they set upon the trial by jury; or if there is any difference between them it consists in this:

They were simply guilty because the government said so. Saying that someone doesn’t deserve due process today because β€œthey are a criminal” is non-sensical and antithetical to what the Founding Fathers had intended. When those barriers are broken down for some, they’re broken down for us all.

When our early leaders were considering the Fifth Amendment and the protection of due process, they were doing so from firsthand experience. Under British rule, the royal government had imprisoned colonists without trials, giving them no opportunities to prove their innocence.

Instead of sharing your #insurancestory with CNN

How about sharing it with a πŸ”΅ legislator who is trying to keep the ACA and Medicare from being trashed by MAGA?

I would like to know how much our state has spent defending obviously unconstitutional laws in court over the past 2 decades just so these people can score some points with their base. The USSC said no to this in 1980. The state court said no commandments at the capitol in 2015. What are we doing…
