It also calls the raid a “rogue abuse of power” but I suppose it’s unreasonable to ask you to read to the end.

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

"Republican presidents are only able to do things because Democratic presidents establish 'precedents' by doing other things" is a quintessential stupid argument that people who don't know nearly as much about politics at they think they do are sure is the height of sophisticated analysis

One thing that shouldn't be forgotten is that even before Monday's story dropped Platner was a bad candidate running an incredibly shitty general election campaign -- sour, whiny factionalism in a blue state, weak fundraising, no answer to Collins oppo www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-07-07...

Graham Platner is a bad dude — and data shows he's a bad candidate, too
Democrats now have an opportunity to nominate someone less troubled who polls better. Will they waste it

The 5-4 birthright citizenship opinion was indeed shocking, but having read it I feel slightly better that the dissents will have an uphill battle to overturn it in the future. The four dissenters have sharply divergent views on the clause.

The vote on the constitutional question in the birthright citizenship case is an absolute scandal slate.com/news-and-pol...
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled that the first sentence of the 14th Amendment means exactly what it says: Birthright citizenship is the nation’s fundamental law, and Donald Trump cannot repeal it via executive order. The vote was 5–4. This outcome is, of course, a relief. But the margin is a scandal. It is nothing short of stunning that Trump came one vote away from convincing the Supreme Court to repeal the bedrock of the Reconstruction Amendments based on a brazenly partisan contortion of their text and history. A view held only by fringe, far-right nativists until very recently has secured support from four of the nine members of the court: Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh. This is a shocking development that should upend all expectations that this Supreme Court can be trusted to apply the most basic constitutional guarantees when a Republican president seeks to nullify them. If a theory flatly rejected by all serious legal scholars and historians can come one vote away from success, no rights are safe. Everything is on the table.

Donald Trump came one vote away from getting the Supreme Court to say that the 14th Amendment does not guarantee birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented and temporary immigrants, a view held only by fringe far-right nativists until VERY recently. This is shocking. I am stunned.

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

Absolute hero behavior and absolutely pathetic prosecutor www.reddit.com/r/publicdefe...

Apparently I was obstructing
The county prosecutor called my boss and told him that he was considering filing charges for obstruction against me and a colleague.
ICE showed up at our courthouse Monday. They were looking for my client who was being sentenced on a DUI. They were kind of lurking in the hallway while he was signing papers for probation.
I walked into the probation office and informed my clients (there were several there in the lobby) that the two individuals in the hallway were federal agents and that they were under no obligation to speak to law enforcement (including ICE), show them ID, or answer questions. But that if law enforcement have a warrant or federal agents have an order to detain them that they should not run or resist because "you've seen on TV what these assholes are capable of." I did this in full view of the ICE agents and loudly enough for them to hear me.
The prosecutor can eat a bag of dicks and my boss should join him for not telling the prosecutor to pound sand.

BREAKING: Judge McElroy quashes DOJ's Rhode Island Hospital subpoena in full, calling out DOJ's conduct as "misrepresent[ing] salient facts" under oath. "[T]he Court GRANTS both Motions to Quash and enjoins the DOJ from seeking or receiving any documents related to this now invalid subpoena."
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Mary S. McElroy, United States District Judge.
The United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") possesses immense
prosecutorial authority and discretion. As citizens, we trust that federal prosecutors,
when wielding this awesome power against a state, a company, or certainly against
vulnerable children, will play fair and be honest with its counterparts and the
judiciary.
DOJ has proven unworthy of this trust at every point in this case. It has misrepresented and withheld information to both this Court and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Texas court"). It did so in an obvious effort to shield it's recent investigative tactics-previously rejected by every
other court to review them-from this Court's review, in favor of a distant forum that
DOJ deems friendly to its political positions. 1 Its representatives have, under oath,misrepresented salient facts. It has misled the parties with whom it was negotiating in Rhode Island, who have now been placed in an untenable and unprecedented procedural position. And when its attorneys came to this Court to explain their conduct, the senior attorney-who was present at many of the events that took place
in this case sat silently by as his counterpart, a junior attorney who has been
practicing law for approximately six months and had no relevant information, was forced to answer questions about DOJ's blatant disregard for the proper course of
negotiations.
Now before the Court is the petitioner, the Child Advocate for the State of Rhode Island's (the "Child Advocate") Emergency Motion to Quash a subpoena duces tecum issued by DOJ as well as Rhode Island Hospital's ("RIH") Motion to Quash the same subpoena. (ECF Nos. 1, 28.) For the following reasons, the Court GRANTS both Motions to Quash and enjoins the DOJ from seeking or receiving any documents
related to this now invalid subpoena.
