The Court just granted cert in US DOGE Service, which asks whether (1) The COA departed from the separation-of-powers principles in Cheney v. District Court; and (2)Whether a ct can order discovery against an Executive Office advisory body to decide whether FOIA's disclosure requirement's apply.

1/ The Speech or Debate Clause probably doesn't apply to the Omar search. BUT, whenever I talk about Speech or Debate immunity and argue that it should be interpreted capaciously, the pushback I always get is that we don't want to turn members of Congress into "super-citizens".

In defending the meritless prosecutions in Chicago, DOJ had sought to keep not only its attorneys names under seal, but the entire "legal principles" section of its brief, just setting forth what law governs here. Const'l democracies don't rule by secret law. Good on Judge Perry for seeing this.

“Yes, the theoreticians and the pseudo-intellectuals have just about destroyed not only local government but the school systems of our country. That’s all right. Let the police handle it.” Vance should stop trying to improve on George Wallace and just use the source material directly if you ask me

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

"Many, many people are surprised to learn" this principally because it isn't true. Montesquieu is cited more times (11) in more essays (4) than Plutarch (3, 3). Heck, the Abbé de Mably is cited as often as Plutarch. And what do citations even tell us? Locke isn't cited at all...

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke at the Acropolis, invoking ancient Greece to call for an "unapologetic pursuit of national power" and urging the West to reclaim its core traits of ambition and risk-taking. #politics #News

As far as made up judicial BS goes, the activity/inactivity distinction gets most of the love in the Obamacare case, but the Medicaid holding is truly bonkers. How are you supposed to operationalize this rule? What is the rule again anyway???
