One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

In what is hopefully not a harbinger of what’s to come, the court of appeals split 2-1 along the party lines of the presidents who appointed the judges. SCOTUS, which has performed so poorly when it comes to Trump is about to face a test of whether it can deliver justice instead of playing politics.

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.
