Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that *whether* acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them.
Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.

Trump Is Testing Our Constitutional System. It’s Doing Fine. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-02-04/trump-is-testing-our-constitutional-system-it-s-working-fine
It's judicial review when you like the outcome
It's judicial interference when you don't
I mean, they accepted Stewart Rhodes!
It's almost as if Law school is a joke and absolutely easy to graduate as long as you can memorize stuff.
Vermeule's premise: "judicial interference with legitimate acts of state" is false. A court order is upholding the law, it is not "interference". And those are not "legitimate" acts of state; they are illegitimate.
So tired of the MAGA mindset and worrying that the cult just can’t grasp logic.
(Obvs I mean my uk perspective)
I get blocked or put on lists, but never anything from Bluesky.
I do sometimes miss calling out those friggin liars, though!
🤬 em’!

But, they chose to humiliate themselves for Trump nonetheless.
Cotton is just another feckkess and corrupt MAGA liar.
The 20% of the electorate who wanted this ARE idiots, and they don’t get to have a king, just because they want to stick it to the “libs.”
We need to rise up and defeat this corruption, for all time.
It is the correct application of the separation of powers. It's literally what they were designed for.

I know they know that. I know they know what separation of powers is supposed to mean. But the feigned idiocy is grating.
We must see this do what it is, a coop. What happens if the guard rails don’t hold?
it is shakespearean to witness human character so grotesque
[Not a view I ascribe to, in case that's unclear]
In theory.
In practice, Dred Scott, Civil Rights Cases, Lochner plus 200, Bush v Gore, Heller, Shelby County, SFFA v Harvard, Trump v US.
The inconvenient truth is judges have never and won’t save us.
Sorry to hijack but here past is prologue.
in effective congress more. But then there was the not so Supreme Court.
No, that is why each branch has separate powers so they can check each other and provide balance.
Since I only spent 1 yr in college and majored in Evan Williams and sorority girls I’m guessing we were taught that in HS.
I don't like to listen to her.

If Republicans destroy all the checks and balances for Musk; they won't apply to those who come after the color revolution.
BE THE PROBLEM
First page of ruling: "this policy ...
violates the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”), 5 U.S.C. §§ 551"
Second page: "violates the Take Care Clause of the United States Constitution"
Third page: "pursuant to Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure"
Also, the entire point of a preliminary injunction is that it happens before a full hearing / case. The Judge, of course, invites "any opposition submission by defendants be filed by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, February 11, 2025."
Yeah, I'll wait.

How dare us.
I suspect it'd be overwhelming in support of A3 authority, but would be dismissed by MAGA as deep state.
And, when their terms are up, they don't have to run for election unless the majority of voters say they think they should keep their seats.
Goodbye USA hello Russia 2.0
You need a patch and an update.
I. Introduction to Administrative Law
II. Statutes, What Even Are They?
III. The Executive Power: L'État, c'est moi
But we've entered th FO stage - less & less folks are believing the propaganda & more & more are beginning to doubt - next stage - they'll become angry & defiant
I'm telling you, we should have banished all Monarchists/Redcoats (now Redhats) from the get-go.
Cotton and Vermuele advocating to violate a court order violates their oaths as attorneys and for Cotton his oath as a Senator. They want to end the government created by our forefathers. Why?
If a judge says what you are trying to do is illegal -you find out what exactly runs contrary to law, then find a way to achieve your goals working WITHIN the law.
You DON’T nuke the judicial branch.
Funny how 2nd amendment is carved in stone but rest of constitution is just playdough.
