@strictscrutiny.bsky.social I just name checked Strict Scrutiny at a CLE co-sponsored by the local Federalist Society. Quite surprised the Texas Supreme Court Justice who was asking what legal podcasts the attendees listen to.

It's been a pretty weird couple of weeks for Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ)! Catch up on everything you missed at #crookedcon2025 at crookedcon.com/program

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Trump on the tariff case being argued tomorrow at SCOTUS : “Tomorrow’s SCOTUS case is, literally, LIFE OR DEATH for our Country…. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

@leahlitman.bsky.social listening to this week's episode of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social . At one point, you were talking about the director of Homeland security and I heard "Crispy Gnome"and now I have a new name for her.

(Not paying out any SNAP benefits is violating the court order. She can insist they're complying all she wants, but that doesn't make it true.)

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 This is the President openly announcing that he will violate court orders - two courts had concluded that the Trump regime withholding SNAP funding was illegal - and that the government had to pay out (at least reduced) SNAP benefits starting this week

Kim Davis (and attacks on the 2012 federal legalization of gay marriage) won't go away.

If & when federal courts (& SCOTUS) insist on deferring to the President's determination that deploying the Natl Guard is necessary for the enforcement of federal law, safety, etc. - please remember Trump says he's making such decisions based in part on what the CEOs of Salesforce & NVIDIA tell him.

This is an important listen/watch. 👇👇

THANK YOU for playing the hot mic moment at the end of Wednesday's oral argument. I kept the audio on after the argumemt (just being lazy), so I heard it, and the shushing. But I wasnt listening carefully enough to know what I heard. I figured it was something crazy/juicy. Thanks for playing it!

This is literally a Court of Gretchen Wieners. TM @strictscrutiny.bsky.social
