“‘…[W]e are not attempting to further any political agenda… [we are] trying to interpret the Constitution as best we can and apply it in cases that come before us.” A truly embarrassing admission that he read the 14th Amendment and didn’t understand it. Or the 2nd and thought Heller made sense.
Forbes@forbes.com · last wk.The conservative-leaning justice claimed President Joe Biden had unfairly attacked the Supreme Court as well.
“Does the US Constituon establish three branches of government? 7-2. Alito and Thomas dissent.” This post loses about 50% of its humor every year.
Man, now THAT’S how you release a trove of previously concealed documents.
T: You’ll love what we did with Venezuela. Our government is taking their resources, and distributing them how we see fit. Elections? No we decided who’s in charge. W: So, no representation… but you take their goods? T: Yeah, pretty genius- I knew you’d like that. Hey, is that a musket? Scene.
When do Republicans and MAGA start getting concerned that the government is fabricating charges against and arresting normal Americans to preserve this bizarre lie that Trump didn’t hire the wrong person? When do they wonder if the next Pirro won’t dismiss the charges?

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 2mo ago🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ is moving to dismiss the indictment against David Hearn in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool case and is admitting the damage was the result of a flawed, botched installation job, not vandalism.
There are two types of people who talk about voter fraud/suppression: Those who’ve read NAACP v McCrory, and those who don’t know what they’re talking about.
It’s like telling the bank they should let you help count the money because you don’t like how much they say is in your account.
Say what you will about Justice Scalia, but not even his strongest detractors have any doubt about how he would’ve voted on “birthright citizenship.” Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas seem to waffle between theories of constitutional interpretation on ideological whims.
Facts do not persuade people nearly as effectively as “vibes.” Authenticity is something jurors, voters, whoever, can sense. Dean’s “byaaah,” Hilary’s “shocked face,” Jeffries’ forced f-bomb. Mamdani didn’t win because of policies. He won because of policies *that he believed in.*
Fellas, I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I’m not entirely sure these chaps know what they’re doing.

Admittedly I can only go off my first year Contracts class, but my recollection is “We have a deal but we’re still ironing out a few key points,” means you do not have a deal.

Holy smokes. Normal lawyers start looking for new jobs, maybe even new careers, if a Judge issues an order like that.
Gabriel Malor@gabrielmalor.bsky.social · 8mo agoFed. judge (Boasberg) orders the Trump administration to facilitate the return of J.G.G. class members who were deported to third countries and want to return bc "the Government's responses essentially told the Court to pound sand." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![On December 22, 2025, this Court issued a Memorandum Opinion finding that the Government had denied due process to a class of Venezuelans it deported to El Salvador last March in defiance of this Court’s Order. See J.G.G. v. Trump, 2025 WL 3706685, at *19 (D.D.C. Dec. 22, 2025). The Court offered the Government the opportunity to propose steps that would facilitate hearings for the class members on their habeas corpus claims so that they could “challenge their designations under the [Alien Enemies Act] and the validity of the [President’s] Proclamation.” Id. Apparently not interested in participating in this process, the Government’s responses essentially told the Court to pound sand. See ECF Nos. 229 (Gov. Resp.), 239 (Gov. Reply). Believing that other courses would be both more productive and in line with the Supreme Court’s requirements outlined in Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 145 S. Ct. 1017 (2025), the Court will now order the Government to facilitate the return from third countries of those](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreigl3u6ymbwhocutxv4yl4jp5iuk4zgw2dy23z6txlgw6a2k24jshe)
A 12 month turnaround from “no new wars” to “well hell yeah, sure, you have to topple THAT regime.” They have always been gold medalists, but we’re witnessing a truly generational performance in mental gymnastics. 🧠 🤸♀️ 👊 💥 🇺🇸 Add me to the Signal chat pls 🙏
I cannot believe I’m dependent on this absolute clown show of a political party. I feel like I’m watching someone struggle to put a square peg in a square hole. It should’ve been a layup in 16, a layup in 24, and a layup in 26. “Sorry, best I can do is a 3rd generational bag fumble.”
Pirro couldn’t button up the sandwich guy? Embarrassing.

Non-lawyers don’t understand how blistering these tepid-sounding rebukes actually are. Judges are restrained when calling someone a liar, esp a witness or prosecutor for the gov. It’s a career-killer (normally), and can impact other existing and pending prosecutions. These are scathing criticisms.

I can’t say I have ever intentionally watched any late night talk show… but I did tonight. That was also my favorite gag of the monologue. As a giga-nerd of a trial lawyer that loves to dissect and analyze the tactical application of rhetoric, that one was perfect. I could talk for an hour on it.
Hypocrisy is the most powerful and pervasive new American value. The proof is that you will read this, and agree that it is true… about “them,” but never “you.”
From a purely “tactical rhetoric” perspective, it’s concerning to see D’s focus on committee votes and rules hearings that diminish their (limited-to-begin-with) value every time. Begin a guerrilla marketing campaign hailing the “Epstein/Trump 2028” ticket for superior results.
One of the premises of the “DEI bad” argument that I rarely see questioned is the nonsense idea of a hypothetical “best” candidate. No such thing. Even if there were, there are so many variables per job nobody could reasonably figure that out. IMO, it truly puts the lie to the racism of it all.
New post-Chevron world. Killing Chevron will probably be far worse than killing Roe was. This is only the start. Imagine a tobacco company, that sued the FDA/ATF in federal court in Tobacco Road. Now, the court will give equal deference to the “Smoking not bad” experts they bring to court.
