If “Stalling” is “a Time-Tested Legal Strategy,” as your headline says, how is it pushing “at the limits of traditional democratic systems”? The right to a speedy trial is the least exercised constitutional right, Edward Bennett Williams once noted. https://t.co/rsh1f3THAl

It’s a silly game, and Trump has protected Social Security, but it’s hard not to note that he never quite pledges not to cut benefits or raise retirement age.

Arguably the blame-shifting effort has already begun. But if you read WaPo’s account, it seems as if the Biden Education Department turned a narrow mandate into a chance to revamp the system, and then failed to deliver. Seems like it’s mostly on them. https://t.co/RCno7wqGH8

I don’t think it was that bad, but yes. Basically yelling at Republicans, focus on campaign hot buttons (eg Jan 6), none of the border initiatives that were trial-ballooned. Lots of “I”, less “we.” Not what people expect in a SOTU. https://t.co/GAsl1HJR5k
