I posted earlier on this issue but no-one wanted my ode to Judge Souter, but the Roberts Court in this and other cases (Dobbs, FAIR) has a tendency to unleash bureaucratic chaos with incoherent decisions. It is going to be a nightmare to enforce this distinction between trans kids and cis minors.

I recommend this Congressional Research Service report on the ways in which the Speech and Debate clause operates, particularly when members are not physically on the floor of Congress, sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R45.... This might be why the statute clarified Congress could oversight at a facility.

It is going to be one of THOSE days on our feeds. I am at the point in the movie where the Black Best Friend is advising Congress to break up with her abusive boyfriend, once again.

Again, thoroughing attack on the Infrostucture. Why the obsessive focus on the National Archives? The National Archives had the temerity to ask for Pres. Trump’s presidential records, the ones he was keeping unsecured, in a bathroom. Since 1978, Presidential records are owned by U.S. Government.

I love how this Article mentions the Pendleton Act and the Civil Service Act, without mentioning that for instance, requiring an essay question on advancing a political belief, might be unlawful, www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202....

Trump now apparently is arguing that his Truth should be interpreted as executive orders, noting: ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.

I continue to reiterate to everyone: it is called Juneteenth, which is already a federal holiday, which celebrates the literal victory over actual tyrants.

Spoken like a true White Sox fan. The Pope does believe in miracles because he saw the White Sox win the World Series in 2005.

I wanna point out to everyone we have a federal holiday literally called Juneteenth that celebrates freedom from tyrants. It is on Thursday this year.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

What is interesting to me is that employers who are not in these the favored industries—restaurants and construction come to mind—have a pretty solid case that this violates the Equal Protection Clause. Once again, the President chooses the pretense of power over a grounded legal claim.

@jamellebouie.net notes the Trump Admin is the closest thing to an Elected Confederacy. This is why good opinion writers are like gold. I would add that in my Feed, I have called this the Master’s Law, and it has its own legal sources.

I read a comment today that said law profs were the worst posters b/c we just post basic civics stuff. You are correct, Timmy 1234. Trust me, my colleagues and I are well aware commandeering the National Guard under the 10th Amendment is some baseline constitutional shit.

What did Micheal Kinsley say: a gaffe is a politician who is telling the truth. The Trump Administration’s latest brief has no Table of Authority. This mistake tells the Administration’s position on the rule of law.

We can stop playing catch-up if we accept that any legal claim is a distraction meant to hide the claim to power. A logical question then follows: if we cannot accept the Administration’s legal claims does that mean any action it takes is potentially illegitimate?

After spending January and February sprinting to research claims by the Admin, I learned one lesson: do not comply with their legal demands. Treat them like AI hallucinations. To paraphrase Toni Morrison, the function of the law in the Trump Admin is to distract from some horrible political goal.

1: WSJ drops a bomb laying out in detail the corrupt bargains Musk has been making using DOGE. 2: Musk apologizes. This is next level Soviet Union stuff.

I pulled this from thread below to highlight it: I would start asking why, we have been “concern-trolled” back on Twitter. Who is paying what to influence a college educated demographic back to Twitter? BlueSky reinforces Twitter’s advertising problem by happily existing as non-Nazi alternative.
