NEW: Supreme Court, on a 6-3 vote, rejects Trump's effort to deploy National Guard in Illinois for now. More than two months after DOJ asked for "immediate" relief, the Supreme Court said no on Tuesday. Also: A Kavanaugh note on Kavanaugh stops. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

In a poker game, the most frustrating opponent is one who is so inexperienced/incompetent/inebriated that they don’t even know whether or not they have a good hand. Which is also what it’s like trying to parse these DOJ social media missives.

Good rule of thumb is to assume every type of forensic science prosecutors use (bite mark analysis, ballistics, hair analysis, pretty much any CSI bullshit) is bunk. So many parents have had their lives ruined over cops and DAs using junk science

Exactly this. Note as well how those seeking to bar so-called "divisive concepts" in higher education wrap themselves in the language of anti-indoctrination. It's a simple trick: define ideas that you don't like as indoctrinating, then censor them *in the name of freedom.* The full Orwell.
