The Supreme Court's eagerness - and willingness - to just do what they want (especially on the shadow docket), notwithstanding normal legal processes & their own jurisdiction continues to be revealing.

(As does Sam Alito's manipulation/misrepresentation of the facts.)

#SCOTUS just granted emergency relief in *both* the California teachers case (putting back on hold, at least in this case, California’s law barring teachers from outing transgender students to their parents) *and* the Malliotakis redistricting cases.

The Democratic appointees dissented in both.

they didn’t do it with CA, but are now toying with the idea that the constitution means β€œRepublicans get to gerrymander but Democrats can’t”

I spoke w/ 3 super smart people on 3 big topics (w/nods to independent media)!

Bec Ingber on the law of war @becingber.bsky.social
Chris Geidner on legal news (& what Law Dork has uncovered) @lawdorknews.bsky.social
& Marc Elias on the war on democracy @marcelias.bsky.social @democracydocket.com

Honestly, if you don't listen to Strict Scrutiny, you're missing out. I have learned so much from them since I started listening a couple years ago.

So, @leahlitman.bsky.social's excellent rant (positive) about how misogyny got us into this whole fcking mess is the best thing I've heard since Sat. Also, she and her guest make the case for giving a shit about this being lawless rather than giving in to nihilism. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Our primary insight into how the Trump Admin lawyers* war powers comes from the OLC memo they published on the Venezuela strikes and capture of Maduro.

The recent Decision of the United States Supreme Court concerning TARIFFS could allow for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to be returned to Countries and Companies that have been β€œripping off” the United States of America for many years to come, and now, according to this Decision, could actually continue to do so, at an even increased level. I am sure that the Supreme Court did not have this in mind! It doesn’t make sense that Countries and Companies that took advantage of us for decades, receiving Billions and Billions of Dollars that they should not have been allowed to receive, would now be entitled to an undeserved β€œwindfall,” the likes of which the World has never seen before, as a result of this highly disappointing, to say the least, ruling. Is a Rehearing or Readjudication of this case possible??? PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Just embarrassing - for the author of the post Steve shows is woefully misleading, incomplete, and hackish.

And for the place that gave the author the platform. I mean FFS, the author counts shadow docket orders when convenient and doesn’t count them when they’re not!!!

Transcript: Trump Epstein Scandal Takes Damning Turn as Dem Drops Bomb As new revelations in the Jeffrey Epstein saga threaten the president, a legal expert decodes what we just learnedβ€”and lays out a roadmap to what will happen now.

Thanks to Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social for having me on The Daily Blast to talk about the latest bombshell related to the Epstein files -- that DOJ excised material/interviews of a witness who alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her as a minor.
