One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

This is connected to the Schmitt debacle from earlier - the Republican Party now talks only to itself using language that only they employ, everyone else is expected to follow along or have the power of the state come down on them

A thing I learned not too long ago is that when an LLM selects a token that leads it down an incorrect path (factually), it has no way to back up, or even know that it should back up, it's just on to the next likely bit. Literally every LLM is just posting their way through it. What an image.

FWIW, I think a fuckup on this scale in time to wreck them electorally was *almost* inevitable from Day 1, precisely because this is the Special Birthday Boy presidency in which there are almost no limits on Trump's madness and every proposed policy disaster has a real shot at going all the way.

On another platform, @pjaicomo.bsky.social asks a good question. Anyone seen SCOTUS give one party an open-ended, one-sided opportunity to name their own "question presented"?
This seems like a very uncommon QP from the Supreme Court in today's cert. grant in DHS v. DVD.
Is anyone aware of a similarly open-ended and one-sided QP like this in another case?
CERTIORARI GRANTED
DEPT. OF HOMELAND SEC., ET AL. V. D.V.D., ET AL.
The application for stay presented to Justice Jackson and
by her referred to the Court is granted. The February 25, 2026
order and judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10676, are stayed.
The application is also treated as a petition for a writ of
certiorari, and the petition is granted. The parties are
directed to brief and argue the following questions: (1) Whether
the district court had jurisdiction over Respondents' claims.
(2) Whether the district court had authority to enter classwide
declaratory relief and APA vacatur under 8 U. S. C. §1252(f) (1).
(3) Whether the Government's Guidance on third-country removals is unlawful under 8 U. S. C. §1231(b), the Due Process Clause, or FARRA/CAT and its implementing regulations.
*(4) Such other
questions that the Government determines are appropriate for the
proper disposition of the case.* The Clerk is directed to
establish a briefing schedule that will allow the case to be
argued in the December 2026 argument session. The stay shall
terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court.
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would
deny the application
for stay.

There is nothing at all in the Constitution about how many Justices there must be, let alone that Congress must fund a building, clerks, etc. If the Wizards want to play Calvinball with the law & the words in the Constitution, then Congress can & should play hardball with all the stuff that isn’t.
