this is so boring but it is incredibly frustrating to see the supreme court be so malevolently silly about third-country removal. there is no balancing of equities that could possibly favor the government, which already HAS THE DETAINEE IN JAIL. are they ordering too much room service?

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).

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"

"What gets lumped into 'cultural issues' these days includes higher education, immigration, racism, transgender rights, policing, abortion, sexism, religion, voting rights, and numerous other matters.

What Singal is suggesting here is that identifying as LGB is somehow a social contagion and the equivalent of a fad. No one argues social influences aren't real, but what we say is that acceptance and hostility are what determines surveyed self identification rather than actual identities.

They restricted these surveys in multiple states in the last few years. States moved to require opt in with parental consent to administer the surveys. Then the CDC stopped reporting data about gender identity in 2025. Given the broader anti LGBTQ hostility it's not a surprise numbers declined.

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

this feels like one of those things that you just gotta mention whenever their name comes up, even if the article is not actually about that for example,

screenshot of the opening paragraph of an article Elie Mystal wrote about the Voting Rights Act a couple years ago (link at end of alt text), with his first mention of a particular Supreme Court justice highlighted. text reads as follows:

I regret to inform you that the future of the Voting Rights Act, and the immediate question of whether Southern states can gerrymander away the political power of Black citizens, now rests squarely on the shoulders of alleged attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh. That’s because the state of Alabama’s latest attempt to defy the 15th Amendment, and the Supreme Court’s own rulings, is inspired by a decision Kavanaugh wrote that explicitly asked for plaintiffs to file a case that could help him kill the VRA once and for all.

screenshot of a paragraph excerpted from an article I wrote last year about conservatives feeling betrayed by Amy Coney Barrett (linked below), with my mention of a named rightwing media personality highlighted in green. excerpt reads as follows:

Much of the conservative backlash has linked Barrett’s purported failings to her identity. “As a female who leans right, I’m kind of sick,” said Megyn Kelly, a former Fox News anchor who said Santa and Jesus are both white. “Get somebody with some rhetorical balls.” Other conservative media creeps latched on to the idea that Barrett’s appointment was the product of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives—within the first Trump administration, apparently. “Amy Coney Barrett. DEI Judge,” one tweeted; “Amy Commie Barrett,” another replied.
