Jeff Dubner @dubner.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Good thread. Separation of powers isn't an open-ended license for courts to neuter explicit constitutional provisions. It's something the Founders implemented through specific provisions -- including the clause letting *Congress* "make all laws" for carrying into execution the government's powers 032

New York and some other shadow docket cases. But they don’t yet have a (consistent) majority to outright reject the Constitution. 1388
Jeff Dubner @dubner.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Oh good, we’re doing Wiz With again That was the thing that first broke me about political media - Kerry and Bush both ordered the “wrong” type of cheesesteak, Bush lied about his order and made Kerry’s an attack line, and the media covered the attack instead of the lie or the hypocrisy. Maddening. 010
Jeff Dubner @dubner.bsky.social · 06/05/2026These seem reasonable but not nearly sufficient Why not allow malicious prosecution and defamation suits against feds, with personal liability, and require SLAPP-like protections and DC venue to avoid the Wichita Falls problem? Why not authorize DC AG to prosecute all fed crimes by fed officials? 100
Jeff Dubner @dubner.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Once while I was clerking, the judge put a mug down on my desk and then chastised himself for the water ring that formed. I said “oh, that’s alright,” and he said “it’s not our desk.” I get some of the same vibe from Judge Leon! 010

Jeff Dubner @dubner.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Judge: And why is it a trick question? Balko: ‘Cause Subway didn’t make a meatball sub in 2017. The meatball sub didn’t come out ‘til 2021. And it wasn’t offered on toasted whole wheat until 2025. However, in 2025, the correct quality would be “four degrees below mediocre.” 020
