Barbosa de Cunha immediately goes to the front of the line as the most important case #SCOTUS will decide this term. Trump's entire immigration arrest and detention policy regime *depends* upon its novel reading of the statutes, one that's been rejected by an overwhelming majority of lower courts.

As promised, I wrote about what really bothers me about Tuesday's unsigned, unexplained #SCOTUS ruling clearing the way for the resumption of third-country removals with minimal (if any) process. Turns out, it's a lot: www.stevevladeck.com/p/254-four-t...

254. Four Things That (Really) Bother Me About “D.V.D. III”
“Third-country removals” raise a host of difficult procedural and substantive questions. The Supreme Court should have answered those questions *before* greenlighting deportations to torture.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).

That's how this big government bureaucracy is going to keep millions of eligible voters from voting, nearly all because they have foreign or black sounding names. By the time they can prove they are citizens the election will be over. This is all very well planned, no accidents in US politics.

Tens of thousands of voter registrations have gone unprocessed in Texas. Affecting large areas deeply. If you’re in Texas, check your registration is up to date and accurate ASAP. www.texastribune.org/2026/09/22/t...

DPS voter registration applications weren’t sent to counties
Counties will start receiving a surge of applications less than two weeks before the Oct. 5 registration deadline, adding work at one of the busiest points in the election calendar.

The intervenor-defendants in the Missouri redistricting case (the folks who triggered the referendum on the 2025 map) have filed their expected emergency application at #SCOTUS, seeking to restore the 2022 map (again). Justice Kavanaugh, moving very quickly, has called for a response by 2 ET today.

The thing about conflict gemstones (like amber from Myanmar) is that even if the money supports a group you like, it’s still a conflict gem or mineral. Control of amber from Myanmar has switched hands several times. Though it’s a drop in the bucket compared to other stones from there

There's been a lot of criticism on the right of the Florida Bar Complaint filed against DHS General Counsel James Percival. Today's bonus "One First" explains why the issue isn't the bar complaint, but what Percival has done to provoke it—behavior that goes way beyond legitimate judicial critiques:

Bonus 246: Judicial Criticism and its Counterfeits
DHS GC James Percival's "Worst of the Worst" judges series isn't legitimate criticism; it's a government lawyer telling judges what their rulings could cost.
