Puget Sound island dweller. Tired, sweary, lawyer. I’m telling you, it’s the entropy. It just will not stop.

This miserable motherfucker thinks he owns his position, and that he has some personal, vested interest in preserving his power to inflict himself and his hatred upon the rest of us. He is execrable.

There is nothing “new” here. It’s Trump’s ongoing grift.

That’s a really well done piece of work. Superior Court trial judges tend to be pretty overwhelmed by the day-to-day and aren’t always able to generate work of this quality.

Prayers up for my buddy Eric Schmitt! After a tough day at work he forgot to pull his pants down before taking a shit & had to waddle home as loose turds periodically fell out of his pant leg.

Regrettably, most of our current uber–wealthy class would have asked him how they could help and how they might monetize, for his and their benefits, the killing process.

1000%. One need only know the political valence of a dispute to know precisely where Alito will come down.

No, a stay would operate on the district court’s permanent injunction, which effectively bars the use of the 2022 map. A stay would permit the use of the 2022 map and preclude use of the newer, gerrymandered, 2025 map.

“Trump has more than $400 million in just one PAC. He can pay for this himself instead of stealing from us.” Dude. You’re never going to be a successful politician or a wealthy American, are you?

Interesting — (i) they’re asking for permission to discuss their testimony with counsel, but counsel clearly already knows what the testimony would be, and (ii) framing it this way puts Cannon in a deserved bind, in that to enforce the gag order would be to deny the defendants exculpatory evidence.

Actually, not so sneaky or coded — it’s pretty clear, if not explicitly stated. As for her request for briefing, it appears not to include . . . an administrative stay.

While my confidence on these matters has been deeply shaken over the past 10-15 years, I have to believe that this dreck now lands only with the drooling goobers jamming Funyuns into their gobs and masturbating to their red hats. For the vast majority of the country, now, it’s just fucking stupid.

I mean, they’re all bad guys and it’s never terrible when bad things happen to bad people, but it does exemplify one of the fundamental rules of reality: Trust Trump, get fucked.

Yes, and the injunction operates directly upon “all persons” acting in concert with Trump and the other defendants, so anyone complicit today in the act of denying access — including the security thugs at the gates with knowledge of the order — are subject to contempt.

It feels a bit like Trump has decided that this is the one where he takes his miserable stand, and actually tests the federal judiciary’s ability to actually make him do something he doesn’t want to do. I doubt he’ll give a shit about being held in contempt.

“There’s certain things, once you’ve seen them, you can’t unsee them.” The entire world, including sane Americans, cannot now unsee what America has shown itself to be.

That’s a net positive, of course, but one can’t help but think that Fox mustered this courage only because Trump’s collapsing political position opened the door. Rats, ships, etc.

The curd-for-brains has been told that a reference to “national security” gives him a free pass to do whatever he wants, and the people around him are just so incredibly goddamn weak that they will not tell him otherwise. It’s up to the courts, again.

I'll forego the two word response that came immediately to mind, and just note that Germany recovered almost entirely because America then occupied a place in the world that these people have ensured it will never occupy again.

SaukFish @saukfish.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
The country will never recover from this humiliation. Our remaining friends will always be wary, remembering that we are capable of this self-abasement. And our enemies will lord this over us forever, as they should.

I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’ It’s our duty to know.

The particular “grimness” captured by the Paul Pierce experience extends to so many forms of male “fun” that it’s almost a blanket description of idealized American maleness. I mean, being drunk on a golf course? Pretty fucking grim. Drunk at a football game? Remarkably fucking grim.

It’s not categorically distinct from the MAGA anti-vaxxer who loses someone to measles only to apprehend, far too late, that they were badly, badly misguided. It’s a tragedy in both cases for all involved.

Yeah, but the miserable humps are still raising money for the party that tried to effect a coup and that has now wholly prostrated itself to a dementia-addled con man who ought to be dying slowly in prison.

There is one thing, and one thing only, that one needs to know to predict Alito’s vote in a given case with perfect accuracy — does the outcome operate, today, to the political or cultural detriment of people Alito doesn’t like? His vote follows inexorably from the answer to this question.

I'm pretty sure these evil cretins have a WH team that just scans the political and cultural landscape for the worst possible things they can do, knowing that the orange shitgibbon at the top will approve of them immediately.

I can’t abide these bastards any more than anyone else who values the rule of law, but this is just throwaway language that doesn’t mean anything. This thing is as sloppy as a late-night college paper due the next today. I mean, there are glaring typos at p. 3, line 4, and at p. 5, line 3.
