Pirro is toast.

’Tis the season.

I have wrestled with one point at the core of the majority’s logic: In some government documents, sex or gender are merely historical fact. For example, marriage licenses often have someone's maiden name and sex. If they later change their name, the record should not be amended. What about sex? 1/3

This is what it sounds like when competent lawyers are confronted with ICE’ conduct — a symphony of Founders explaining that our society will not work like this.

The thing about making cruelty the point is that detainee cruelty is "deliberate indifference," a legal term of art for Eighth Amendment violations.

Everyone knows that faithfully following Christ means never having Shabbat dinner. 🤦

“[T]here is, especially as of this past Monday, no viable legal basis ... for what the Trump administration is doing.” That’s murder, folks. Steve explains why civil suits are unlikely to help. When DOJ reemerges from under Trump’s thumb, prosecutions are in order.

Trump v. U.S. is easily Roberts’s worst-written opinion, because Sauer was the winning lawyer. Sauer adds almost nothing to the case, and if the justices decide that his client should win, they have to do all the thinking and writing from scratch.

Make speechwriting great again.

What do we want? A LIBRARY! When do we want it? NEVER!

Videos will continue until morale improves.

In fact, in my administration, there has been a 500% or 600% reduction in communism — numbers like nobody has even heard of.

“Oh Mister Goodman!”

It turns out everyone at today's Supreme Court argument is excited about the Bake Off final.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit

Neal Katyal was the wrong guy in a huge moment. Again.

Barrett is so thoroughly unimpressed by Sauer. She always has been. She's right to be.

Spare us.

In 1918, Eugene Debs was convicted of sedition for publicly opposing American participation in World War I. Debs gave a statement upon being convicted that was, among other things, hopeful that we would make a more just society. Last night, Mamdani said those words from his victory stage.

The shutdown will continue until Cuomo is sworn in as the rightful mayor of New York City.

That can't be right. Cuomo’s party nominated the guy who won.

I refuse to live in Mamdani’s New York City! That's mostly because big cities aren’t my vibe. The guy seems chill, tho.

This is why there are so few Kagancurrences.

60 Minutes has an important message for Secretary Hegseth:

It would be very funny if Neal Katyal filed a Rule 25.6 (basically 28(j)) letter tonight.

This judge is describing a facility that recent ICE guidance said Congress could not visit because it "is not a detention facility." That guidance was always wrong on the law; now it is also wrong on the facts.

The jury gets to choose whether he is a martyr or just a legend.

Guys, chill out. Maybe Schumer just has a policy of not endorsing the Democratic candidate for mayor, just in case someth --

Me, every time Steve posts another One First:

I might have found the most cursed job posting in Washington, D.C.

Dunlap publicly opposed an attorney-ethics rule against conduct motivated by animus toward someone's race, sex, religion, or sexual orientation. He also opposed same-sex marriage in Maine on the theory that it would infringe his free-speech rights, which is BANANAS.

Court, Lindsey Halligan here. You are ordering things that are simply not going to happen. Thought you should have a heads up.

Christine forgets that only the Federalist Society knows the one true meaning of “the judicial power.”

This genuinely hurt me deep in my soul. www.americansurveycenter.org/quiz-beyond-...

More social media posts from the President about his new toilet than meetings to resolve the shutdown.

WASHINGTON: You need the votes. JEFFERSON & MONROE: You don’t have the votes; you don’t have the votes, ha ha ha! HAMILTON: That’s fine. I’ll just starve the citizenry until the Democratic-Republicans vote the way I want.

Update: 10/10 Easy ingredients, easy directions, easy bake, spectacular results, wife wants more often.

I am crazy proud of the Governor for choosing this moment to address Maryland’s excessive and unconstitutional gerrymandering. It is not a popular time or a politically opportune time, but *now* was always the right time. @govwesmoore.bsky.social

Bivens isn't even enough anymore. These need to be catalogued and criminally charged.

Tonight:

Imagine having to be enjoined from starving people.

A trick a paralegal once taught me: When you go to file the document, as you're browsing for the PDF for the ECF upload, you can right-click to open it without disrupting the upload process. That way, you get one final check that it looks okay.

“The law passed in response to a presidential airstrike campaign doesn't apply to presidential airstrike campaigns” is some galaxy-brain lawyering, my dudes. This OLC is such a joke.

Yes, Trump famously despises sucking up all the attention.

So nice when the Bills miss wide right and still win.
