  • The cynic in me thinks Vance and the rest of the GOP are waiting until Jan 21, 2027, or shortly thereafter, to remove Trump.

    That gives Vance a nearly two-year trial run, and the built-in incumbent advantage (as long as he can blame everything on Trump) in 2028. Being less than two years as replacement President also maintains his eligibility to run twice more.

    If Vance takes over now, he can’t run in 2032 (assuming they do enough fuckery that he’s re-elected in 2028).

    Post-Chaplinsky

    The Court has continued to uphold the doctrine but also steadily narrowed the grounds on which fighting words are held to apply.

    Not a lawyer, but the subsequent cases seem to limit the doctrine so much that it hasn’t really been upheld at all. Basically now you can’t be charged with assault if both parties literally agree to fight. Everything else sure seems to be covered as free speech.
