Good ol Humphrey's Executor.

For as long as we have it. I would not put overturning Humphrey's Executor out of reach of this Court. And I think the folks pulling the strings know that. Which I find absolutely terrifying.

M v M next? What an adventure.

redsoxredshoes.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I think we'd both agree that's quite the step further... but, also, if you'd told me in law school 20 years ago I'd live to see Roe and Chevron fall, I would've asked you if gravity still worked in the future. So, never say never, eh?

Enforce the law! Musk is clearly breaking the laws with his chainsaw mass firings!

I’m sure he will get right on adhering to the order… /s

Time for the judiciary to lock people up if they won’t comply!

She will be fired again. On “Trumped up” charges.

EVERYONE he fired was an illegal firing. If you want to fire many of these people, you have to go through work reviews, talk to unions, find proper replacements, and even give justifications. Not Trump and Elon, though. Just fire all the people they don't like, whether it hurts us all or not.

Have any of these decisions been enforced? Have they restored any of the funding anywhere?

How will they enforce this?

And that is the problem with Pam Bondi.
No one, except maybe the F*ck America caucus impeaches him. 😭

Another "W" for the Democracy Team!

Is he ignoring the judges rulings? And if he does what other options are there? Can he be arrested?

The last safety catch for a democracy is the streets - PROTEST!

Y'all better make room cuz here comes the ruckus

blanchesbedroom.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Everything that fuck does is illegal. He needs to go. Like, last week.

roncharest.bsky.social•11 hours ago

So we have at least one federal judge who still believes in our Constitution. Nice if this continues up through the Supremes

Are there any penalties for the illegal move? Other than civil law suits?

nothinggoodhappens.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Usually not, but there should be.

bo-gardiner.bsky.social•10 hours ago

There are so few victories over that monster that each and every one is an event to celebrate and cherish.

Thank you, Cathy Harris, for fighting back.

Can't describe how distasteful, inevitable, and depressing it is that we now routinely identify the appointing president for every judge.

Well, at least our federal circuit court judges are working. Wondering if the USSC is on Spring Break at one of Harlan Crow’s properties….
