In other words, the shadow docket lets them have their cake and eat it too. They can give Trump whatever he wants and still be able to rule against a Democratic president in any similar circumstance.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Hey, Roman military historians! Are "tutela", "armicustos", and "duplicarius" offices/roles/assignments/ranks on Roman navy ships? I'm thinking so, but see what you think .... (via this open-web thread on my Fedi account)

"tutela" of a trireme? in the Roman Classis Misenensis?

You know, I often feel like I should be better at stuff, but there are so many just blisteringly incompetent people wielding unearned power in the world, and we need to get over ourselves.

I learned to drive in NY. First time I went to Boston I was impressed by how polite the drivers were.

I had a judge presiding over one of my cases ask me if I had been a defendant in one of his cases because he recognized me. I was like nope. I'm counsel. I was dressed impeccably in a vintage Calvin Klein suit that I'd paid way too much money for. It happened in 2005ish and I still think about it.

Uh, the man operating as President of the United States has illegally deployed the military into another US city with the intention of provoking dissent that will be met with lethal violence, and you want to negotiate with the people who think this is fine? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 18d

Republicans are fine with increasing your health care costs.

They’re also fine with shutting down the government.

Democrats want to prevent both of these things. Republicans should join us at the negotiating table.
