So that’s my dive into the cesspit that is the DOJ trying to defend this deeply unconstitutional order.

It’s absolute bullshit.

That doesn’t mean I trust SCOTUS, because they will lie about everything.

So we’ve already had the snide “don’t you realize you’re bringing a rule book to a gun fight” comment, and bitch, yes I do realize that.

I know that SCOTUS doesn’t mean shit and even if they did, Trump doesn’t have to listen.

I have literally said this before! On this very account!

But in the long run, if you don’t start protecting the rules, the gun fights just devolve.

I know we are in for a long ass gun fight. I can’t shoot for shit.

I’m not a gun fighter.

I am a person who believes in principles.

If we are going to keep ourselves from unending rounds of gun fights, by GOD we are going to have to keep bringing our rule books to the gun fights.

Violence is always an option. It is the work of civilization to put as many better options in place as possible.

shadur.bsky.social•41 days ago

Unfortunately all of them stem from the premise that both sides of the argument agree that it is better to have civilization than it is to get your way.

And the GOP realized that the first party who *stops* cooperating has a major advantage.

I am going to be at the gun fights, shouting out that if you are born in this country, you are a citizen, period.

And if we are going to get out of this thing it will be because people like you and me refuse to let go of it.

We, the people, are the goddamn rule book. We always have been. And if we stick to it, instead of giving up, we will prevail.

The govt lawyers brief reads like something I wrote in college where I had only read one part of the assigned reading and was just holding onto it and writing about it like I knew everything we were supposed to read.

Finally, I did not write historical romances for all these years to let people think that duels don’t have rules.

BRING THE RULES TO YOUR GUNFIGHTS

Please and thank you.

The supreme court is bought and paid for. The republicans just need a basic argument that their racist base can get vaguely understand and get behind and a supreme court to pass it and it's a done deal. Project 2025

These fuckers don't care about the rules! Fight back, for godsake!

"Korematsu was born on our soil, of parents born in Japan. The Constitution makes him a citizen of the United States by nativity, and a citizen of California by residence…" Justice Jackson lost but was on the right side of history. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/323/214/

This is the point the "SCOTUS will just-" people aren't getting. Doesn't matter what they say if the entire country is ready to reply "Bullshit"

shmarr.bsky.social•41 days ago

My rule book is just going to have to be "the social order says you're doing harmful things. Stop that."

mcnutcase.bsky.social•41 days ago

A sufficiently large rulebook can stop bullets.

it’s also important that we have experts in things like law point out that, yeah, no, this shit is batshit on its face, we aren’t all collectively hallucinating the way shit has worked for the last however long, these monsters rly are just fucking pulling actual literal shit out of their asses.

artfulscientist.bsky.social•41 days ago

the response shouldn’t be “well everything is made up, what do you expect”, it shld be, “sure, everything is made up, BUT THESE FUCKERS ARE JUST LYING ABOUT EVERYTHING.”

If you show up to a gun fight that your opponent is ostensibly claiming has rules then it's still probably a good idea to know the rules they're pretending to obey.

Would it be within the boundaries of the rules to take the position that when trump knowingly, purposefully violates the constitution and thus his oath to protect it, that grounds for action to remove him, that he loses what veneer of legitimacy he had?

courtneymilan.com•41 days ago

I think he should be impeached for signing this executive order specifically.

courtneymilan.com•41 days ago

He won’t be, but he should be.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for putting this all together

I have never so badly wanted a collection of law schools to stand up and demand the return of the degrees granted to the authors of this dreck on demonstration of gross incompetence.

Great job. Another reason to hire Jones Day attorneys—current and former

WILD! Thank you for this tremendous breakdown.
