federal judges only do this when they are extremely fuckin tired of your shit and you needed to quit playin in people's faces days ago like oh my God www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
screenshot of a paragraph excerpted from the linked opinion, with the final sentence of the paragraph highlighted. excerpt reads as follows:

This Court’s September 10 stay order meant that the
2022 map would be used in the 2026 congressional election
in Missouri, absent further order of this Court. And the
election has now begun under the 2022 map. But on
September 21, 11 days after this Court’s most recent order,
the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ordered
the District Court to enter a permanent injunction in effect
requiring use of the 2025 map instead of the 2022 map in
the 2026 election. Given this Court’s two prior orders in
this litigation, our conclusion that this was error should
come as no surprise.Screenshot of the beginning of a paragraph excerpted from the linked opinion, with the second sentence highlighted. Excerpt reads as follows:

The Purcell principle applies with even greater force
here. The election is not merely upcoming; it has already
started. Ballots using the 2022 map have been printed and
mailed. Absentee voting has already begun, as has military
and overseas voting. According to local election officials in [page ends there]screenshot of the final paragraph of the linked opinion, with the final two sentences highlighted. Underneath "Per Curiam" and three asterisks, the paragraph reads as follows:

For those reasons, the application for stay presented to
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH and by him referred to the Court is
granted. The September 21, 2026, mandate and September
22, 2026, order entered by the U. S. Court of Appeals for the
Eighth Circuit in No. 26–2797, and the September 21, 2026,
and September 22, 2026, injunctions entered by the U. S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, No.
4:26–cv–01424, ECF Docs. 57 and 60, are stayed absent any
further order of this Court lifting such stays. The prior stay
entered by this Court on September 10, 2026, likewise
remains in effect pending any further order of this Court
lifting that stay. The District Court and Court of Appeals
should not enjoin or otherwise prohibit the use of the 2022
map in the 2026 congressional election in Missouri. And
the District Court and Court of Appeals should not order or
otherwise require Missouri to use the 2025 map in the 2026
congressional election in Missouri. 

"It is so ordered" then appears in italics, in the bottom-right corner of the page

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

By the way, I left this off because I thought it was already sufficient to communicate the scathe at issue, but the second page of this says "and look if y'all need me to beat your ass going into Thursday, I will sit in on the deposition by telephone, so help you God."
FYI: I will not be in chambers after 5 PM EDT on Wednesday. If there are privilege objections asserted after that hour, you will have to come back on Thursday morning at noon (9
AM PDT) so that I can rule on them. There will not be any deferred procedures for resolving privilege issues. At that point the deposition will be completed in my (telephonic) presence. I do not care if this does not accord with your schedule. My schedule has not been of any particular
interest to Ms. Freeman and her attorney up to now; my schedule controls now.

Anyway Judge McMahon's answer is "well if there's a problem, you fucking call me and give your shitty frivolous opinion to my face right then and there."
ORDER CONCERNING FREEMAN'S DEPOSITION
McMahon, J.:
My order requires no clarification. It is perfectly clear. Counsel for Ms. Freeman do not
get to set the rules.
Ms. Freeman will answer EVERY question that is put to her - whether or not the question
was asked previously.
If Ms. Freeman asserts attorney client privilege with respect to a question that was not
previously asked, you are to call my chambers immediately to obtain a ruling. If I have to rule on more than one frivolous attorney client privilege objection, there will be consequences, in the form of sanctions, adverse inferences, referrals to the court's Grievance
Committee with the possible revocation of pro hac vice admission to practice or admission to the Bar of this Court, and the possibility of a civil contempt holding. Please understand — this is not an idle threat. I am tired of this. I do not believe that Ms. Freeman's counsel is acting in good faith and I will not stand for being jerked around - and I am indeed being jerked around — in this
manner by any lawyer who practices before me.

Tonight's movie: Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001). The genre is horror/action/ martial arts/ period drama, where a bunch of French people are horny and racist in the woods hunting a supernatural wolf. The costumes and practical effects are good, the story is confusing and too long. Not recommended!

It's actually extremely bad that congressional reps are paid less today than a baby new grad software engineer made in their first year (well, year and a day so their first year of stock vested) out of college 15 years ago. It's a big part of *why* the corruption became normalized!
A bluesky post:

"It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries."
