IMO if a potential client has access to scads of money, but is consistently acted (and will act) in ways I thought unethical or immoral even if I believed in the right to counsel, I'd suggest the look elsewhere, confident that they would find someone willing to sell their professional soul.

This showed up in my feed just below a re post of the NYT article on the jungle camp Trump convinced Pana (and Costa Rica apparently) to set up for deportees from various countries that won't take them back. Even algorithms and time lines have irony.

I have run into more than a few Medicare & Medicaid recipients who say"I don't get Medicaid/Medicare, I have [name of Medicare or or Medicaid managed care plan]" clueless.

For someone who works witj disabled adults and appears to have a daughter in that category, she seems remarkably uninformed about the likely effects of having Trump (and Kennedy) on the underpinnings of their support - primarily Medicaid, but a whole host of publically funded supportive services.

Me too. Big time. There was a time when she even did her own fund raising calls.

Its fine to blow up 90 rockets if the 91st works.

I also find it helps to read it on paper, not screen. I pick up grammer and punctuation errors more readily. Its hard to convince under 40s of that, but was demonstrated repeatedly at my former law firm.

I do find it useful bc it shows me the contortions certain Justices may(will?) use to continue their personal "own the libs" march to undermining their own institution reputationally and functionally.

Hope you feel better - you have been burning your candle at both ends a lot. Wears down that immune system. I was extremely low energy and tired for about a month after a bout of flu (with vaccination) a few years ago.

No "abuse of discretion" in federal standard? I don't recall. I did state APA - we got to say all 3 (e.g. "the agency's action was arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion"). And did- a lot.

If the SCt can use a 14thC act of Parliament to suppoet a decision this is a piece of cake.

I think its very deliberate on his part. He knows many folks won't get or notice that, and will read it as "anything the president does can't be 2nd guessed" & it will help reinforce their general position they are right wuth the base. They are also setting up cases presidential-executive power.

These guys have never blindlessly allowed autocorrect or spell check to work either. Will make for some interesting edits.

Related, I wonder what John Roberts et al are thinking now that their efforts to dismantle the "administrative state" are turning into "dismantle the courts."

How long before Mike Johnson et al start trying to impeach federal judges who don't rule "the right way?" Quite serious about that -- that seems like the next logical step to incteasing comments like this from the administration and Congress.

"Coup" is another word that is losing all meaning to most people bc its constantly thrown around. One man's coup is another's op rd.

Folks on both ends of thr political spectrum have protested vehemently for years against a national ID precisely bc they didn't want information easily & uniformally available to "the government." But I guess its ok for a billionaire tech bro to have it and use it inside and outside gov't.

Because I am of a certain age and have read a lot of political thrillers in my time, the scene I keep thinking of is the close of Allen Drury's "Come Ninevah, Come Tyre" - you can pick who is standing behind the President grinning malovently and victoriously- Putin, Bibi, Elon
