Time Capsule

I listened to this one through '21/'22. My takeaway was the last episode as the reporters collect in a park and reflect on their work over the previous months. They collected evidence and made what they believed was a strong case that would disqualify any previous politician. And hearing the tone in their voices as they were coping with the idea that in 2021, evidence no longer means what it did 5 years earlier. That the kind of journalism they did was not as relevant as it used to be. That, for lack of a better way of putting it, it sounded like they were coming to terms with the fact that they may have actually wasted their time. It encapsulates how discourse changed in those years. They seemed to really believe they were developing a Woodward/Bernstein level moment. And it just never got any purchase amidst viruses, George Floyd, "fake news," and Q.

We don’t talk about Leonard

It’s too bad that most journalists are unaware of theology, church history, especially the last 200 years. The Federalist Society’s approach to the interpretation of the Constitution is deeply rooted in fundamentalism which was a religious backlash to the deconstructionism of The Enlightenment. Arguing that we interpret the Constitution based solely on the “intention” or “meaning” of the original writers is parallel to those who argue that we interpret the Bible literally. Leonard Keo is ultimately a religious zealot, a mysoginist and racist. He is perpetrating Christian nationalism with a major Roman Empire bent and flavor
