This is an incredibly narrow and strikingly *non-originalist* reading of the meaning of "commerce" but then Justice Thomas isn't an originalist as much as he is an antisocial crank in robes.

Thomas’s favorite move is to write some absolute nonsense in a concurrence and then keep quoting himself in serial concurrences for years and years until political environment gets tilted enough to make it law/the chief lets him write a majority opinion.

this, however, should actually happen even if you cannot convict and remove the justices you should go after them in any way you can to build support for court packing and raise public awareness of their fecklessness and corruption

(to be clear, the impeachment roadblock is not a lack of Democratic will, though I’m sure that would be an issue, but the fact that it requires 67 votes to convict in the senate, a number that is not achievable given the modern senate map)

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!
One of those latecomers was a 46-year-old documentary filmmaker named Chad Knutson. On the morning after Good was killed, he was at home with his two hound dogs, watching a live feed from the Whipple Building, where ICE is based, a five-minute drive from his house. A protester had laid a rose on a makeshift memorial to Good. As Knutson watched, an ICE agent took the rose, put it in his lapel, and then mockingly gave it to a female ICE agent. They both laughed.

Knutson told me he had never been a protester. It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt. But when he saw those ICE agents laughing, something broke inside him.

“I grab my keys, I grab a coat, and drive over,” Knutson told me. “I barely park my car and I’m running out screaming and crying, ‘You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you human anymore?

Yep. Some go into journalism to have access to power, to be power's handmaiden & PR. Others go into journalism to question & illuminate the operation of power & how some norms/systems hurt the powerless. Wolff just 1 of many examples showing--again--the former is very common& usu far more lucrative.

These cases are nightmares. Many people had removal proceedings “administratively closed” for years; the case is off the docket and the person can stay indefinitely. Now, suddenly, ICE is restarting them. And if they miss a physical letter, they might get ordered deported without their knowledge.
