We come not to praise Lindsey Graham but to bury him. If you only know Graham as “John McCain’s buddy who went crazy under Trump,” @lizdye.bsky.social is here to say he was awful long before Trump. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-245-lindsey-graham-bad-lawyer/id1727769913?i=1000776743359

Boutros again. Second time in 7 weeks he has been reprimanded in the courtroom (good). But no sanctions = no accountability (bad). And Trump, Blanche & Patel get their boast (repulsive).

RIP to one of the voices of my childhood 😢

U.S. Magistrate Judge Laura McNally just took the bench for this hearing regarding potential seal order violations by U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros.

A total violation of international law. Eswatini is imprisoning people from multiple countries no crime, based on no violation of law in that country, and with the direct knowledge and acquiescence of the United States.

"But lest we be tempted to rate this effort a failure, let us judge it on its own terms. Trump was able to snatch congressionally allocated funds, commingle them with cash from corporations seeking favor from his administration, enrich his buddies, and throw himself two spectacular birthday parties"

Aaron Rupar Watches Newsmax So You Don't Have To

No, Donald Trump cannot use the mailman to steal your ballot! @lizdye.bsky.social explains why in the latest for @legaleagle.tv www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmyI...

Actual facts: the plaintiff in this case, B.P.J., was a SIXTH-GRADE girl who wanted to try out for her middle school's cross-country and track-and-field teams. The state of West Virginia passed a law to stop her. If you can't explain that to your constituents in two sentences, you're the problem.

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

Today, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States sounds EXACTLY like that weird dude with the "Atlas Shrugged" tattoo at the hygenically questionable back of the room at Comic-Con '98 rambling about how taxation is theft. Ad law is "a headless fourth branch" of gov't?? OK, weirdo

1/ Justice Barrett is SO close to getting it... and yet so far. She dissents in Trump v. Cook, in which SCOTUS invented an imaginary "central bank" exception for the Federal Reserve to its overall rule that Trump can fire anyone he wants, period. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

"The election fraud myth undergirds two vital Republican projects: undermining faith in elections generally, and building support for 'solutions' that will wind up disenfranchising millions of people, most of whom vote for Democrats." — @lizdye.bsky.social

New in PN: Trump's disenfranchisement machine is besieging the courts "So far, courts have managed to head off this plan for mass disenfranchisement. But MAGA is fighting tooth and nail to attack the right to vote by wrenching control of elections away from the states. Every single battle matters."

UPDATE: My underdog won! Yay!

1/ Today is primary day in Maryland (and elsewhere), and even as our political system is... shall we say, under a lot of stress, there's so much that makes me feel good about today. First off are the poll workers, mostly volunteers. It's always been a thankless job people do out of civic pride...

Bc people are taking Trump's threat to sue ABC seriously (he may!!), here's his complaint about the discovery BBC is demanding in THAT lawsuit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There's a telling juxtaposition. First opinion: Congress couldn't possibly have wanted torture victims to be able to broadly sue for torture they experienced abroad. Second opinion: of course Congress wanted Exxon to be able to sue Cuba for for torts experienced abroad. Awkward...

1/ Future lawyers and judges are going to have no choice but to draw a giant circle around every Supreme Court decision from the Chief Justice Roberts era - that is, from 2005 until whenever we fix this & decide that those opinions DO NOT COUNT in the same way that Lochner Era cases don't count.

Don't be fooled by the fact that none of today's 5 #SCOTUS rulings were "big" ones. Four of them split the Court along its usual 6-3 ideological lines—one of which guts accountability for human rights abuses; one that makes it harder to enforce Spending Clause statutes; and one that's bad for LPRs.

Great recap here of the hellacious InfoWars legal drama we've been living in for almost two years now, and the ridiculous machinations we've been going through in order to pay the Sandy Hook families literally anything at all. Good stuff by @lizdye.bsky.social .
