In 1836, Congress made it a crime for postmasters to hold back deliverable mail. @andycraig.bsky.social argues Trump's order to do that to ballots amounts to a criminal conspiracy against voters—one that a future DOJ could still prosecute even after Trump leaves office.

As Trump focuses the FBI on immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind
The cuts come as a consequence of President Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel's focus on violent crime and immigration, leaving other priorities understaffed.

The irony of course is that Originalism’s big selling point was supposed to be constraining the discretion or judges to impose their own political preferences as law. In practice the effect has been very much the reverse: Liberating justices from the constraints of stare decisis.
