Thank you, Federalist Society, for giving us a bench of jurists who believe that the emanations of 1789 have a greater claim to law than the laws passed by Congress and signed by the president.
JUST IN: A 2-1 panel of the D.C. Circuit rules that Trump may remove members of the NLRB or MSPB regardless of laws meant to shield them from removal without cause.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The most disgusting thing about the likes of Hegseth is that they don’t even seem to care that their violence is inflicted on real people. Their victims are completely abstracted to them. Numbers on a screen to own the libs.

That's the part that sticks with me.
This isn't some Tom Clancy novel where they do war crimes because it's the only way they can get at the evil terrorist criminal mastermind or something.
Even if we believe them -- and, ha ha, no! -- they murdered low level drug runners. That's it!

“What’s your plan for the Court?” is the only question that matters for 2028 Democratic hopefuls, because if they don’t, the Republican Super Legislature is hatcheting their agenda before it can get off the ground.

I'm teaching Trump v. CASA today and was struck by this list of "major executive actions that have been the subject of intense preliminary-injunction or other pre-enforcement litigation" that Brett Kavanaugh offers. Did the Democratic position prevail in any of these?

Among other things, Bari Weiss' sister is now making appearances on CBS News.
"How embarrassing. Bari’s been Editor-in-Chief for five seconds and has revealed that all she really wants is to be on TV herself. It doesn’t get more toe-curling than this," one network staffer told me about Weiss moderating a CBS town hall with Erika Kirk.

Hawley is pitching his colleagues — and Trump — on a new health care plan that would allow all tax payers to deduct up to $25K/person in medical expenses.
Hawley told us he recently discussed the idea with Trump: “I said...'no taxes on tips, no taxes on health care’, and he goes ‘oh I like that."

The reason Bove continues to humiliate himself for Trump even after he was gifted a judgeship is that he will most likely be needing a pardon from him.
