So, wait...the case where SCOTUS said that redistricting is basically up to the state courts is...well, no longer that? They can't even get stare decisis right when it's their stare, as 'twere...

I worked for a former lawyer once who had opened up a flower shop and I was doing her billing. I accidentally misspelled something (some exotic flower that I left one letter off)...she was livid. You don't do stuff like this if you're a competent attorney...they don't like sloppy, even if it's small

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

Not your finest missive, ma'am...milquetoast at best.

You're a little fucking late, Hakeem. Maybe you shoulda started opening your mouth while Trump was massing US forces as Bibi was playing war whisperer.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

I have.

The President of the United States is detached from reality.

And lying.

Him calling the liberals inconsistent is laughable...look in the bloody mirror, Gorsuch. The conservative bloc's entire is-ness has been to rule on their feelings and prejudices and preferences, gutting stare decisis as much as possible.

So.

A globally disruptive, economically unsound, and whim-driven tariff policy turns out to be unconstitutional.

Huh.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.
