I don’t mean to be a caricature, but this just isn’t law. The Supreme Court is always making policy. But this is beyond. “This dicta in an emergency order will reassure the markets but just uh trust us on the law here ok no we’re not overruling Humphrey’s yet and when we do we’ll spare the fed.”

An administration filled with antisemites can’t expect us to believe that this is about fighting antisemitism. They are weaponizing antisemitism to advance a xenophobic agenda. Fighting antisemitism requires fighting for a strong democracy, not hatred and authoritarianism.
