It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Poor old, fat Trump is having a hissy fit over the latest slap down from SCOTUS saying that the justices should be embarrassed and basically that they have shamed their families. I have never seen such an immature person occupying the White House. Unreal.

Justice Jackson: β€œWhen Congress tells us why it has included certain language in a statute, the limited role of the courts in our democratic system of governmentβ€”as interpreters, not lawmakersβ€”demands that we give effect to the will of the people.” #tariffs

211. Making Sense of the Tariffs Ruling Friday's 6-3 ruling reflects an emphatic repudiation of a specific claim of delegated statutory authority by the Trump administration. Folks should be wary about reading it as moreβ€”or lessβ€”than that.

"The tariffs ruling makes clear that #SCOTUS is not going to rule reflexively for the Trump administration in every case (a point for which we already had data); and there’s still plenty of reason to be concerned about its overall behavior when Trump is one of the parties at bar."

202. The Timing of Rulings in Argued Cases The Supreme Court's internal norms usually make it more than a little difficult to be confident about which decisions in argued cases will be handed down when.

#SCOTUS is set to hand down more rulings in argued cases starting at 10 ET today.

I'll be covering them live here on Bluesky.

The tariffs ruling is definitely a possibility, but there are 11 other cases that were argued before it (or during the same session), and plenty that were argued after:

There's a difference between "commenting" on it and implying that I threatened Clint, when that's not what happened. Go re-read the e-mail he sent you.

I initially posted it in the thread and then realized I could contact Clint via Patreon DM, which I did within a minute or two of posting that. You are not the Internet Police, and you are not arguing in good faith. Mind your own business.

Correct. You are not the Internet Police. Mind your own business.

You are not the Internet Police. No, it is not correct. Try minding your own business instead of stirring up trouble sticking your nose into business that has nothing to do with you. The world has enough _real problems_ without your manufactured outrage.

I think you need to consult a dictionary, and look up the actual meaning of "tantamount", which means "equivalent in seriousness to"

Do you enjoy being a bully? Does it make you feel bigger?

Which legal threats and FUD have I spread? Be specific.

So you'd rather take the biased opinions of known social media shit-stirrers at face value than what you see with you eyes and ears? You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but did it ever occur to you that Ron is just a shitty person who wishes me harm?

Why assume I haven't? News flash: I already have.

I've made no legal threats. Claiming I have is tantamount to libel, Ron. Are you really that stupid?

Ron,

Why do you think it's acceptable to trash talk me, and call me "terrible". Who the hell do you think you are? Grow up.

Trust your actual experience with me face to face. Ron was also a very reasonable human when we met in person years ago at VCF East, going so far as to unilaterally delete an inflammatory tweet about me and my company while I was standing there, after I provided him with my perspective on things.

I'd he hadn't sat on it for over five months, it wouldn't have been a problem. Go find a hobby that isn't bashing small businesses

Chevy BrightDrop was an actual affordable platform for at least the modular mini-RV purpose, so its cancellation is frustrating.

Elon Musk's X Appears to Be Violating US Sanctions by Selling Premium Accounts to Iranian Leaders While publicly supporting protesters in Iran, Elon Musk's X appears to have been selling premium accounts to regime officials. Checkmarks were removed from certain accounts after a WIRED inquiry.

β€œBy failing to take basic steps to enforce our sanctions, the Trump Administration continues to undermine our national security and the integrity of the financial system,”

Religious freedom group says US military members were 'pressured' by commanders to see 'Melania' An active-duty enlisted member of the US military said their unit was "pressured" into seeing Amazon's "Melania" documentary about the first lady.

Could you even imagine if President Obama made the troops sit through a a doc about Michelle??

Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.

But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

This is a very, very bad decision from one of the two Reagan judges left on the Fifth Circuit, joined by one of the two most extreme Trump appointees on the court.

And, it is about the issue I walked through at Law Dork earlier this week, in the context of Minnesota: www.lawdork.com/i/186796727/...

Yes, it’s fascism. Also, it WAS fascism even when you either couldn’t see it or didn’t feel comfortable saying it. β€œNow I see it” would be the author acknowledging his error. β€œNow it’s in sharper focus” is blaming myopia on the eye chart.
