And an fyi, sure Trump can pardon anyone who participated in this potential crime, but no pardon protects against any potential civil lawsuit for damages caused by the destruction of federal property.
Did companies who supposedly funded this WH East Wing destruction also commit a crime - conspiracy, aid and abet … Time to amp up the pressure
Yesterday millions across country chanted - “hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go”. Little did we know.
I assume the “💯” stands for 💯 bullshit analysis. Otherwise amnesia or worse has set in (again) on what has happened in Gaza over the past 9 months of Trump.
Soldiers are taught that to follow an illegal order is an error and that it is no excuse to say that “ I just followed an order”. Time for lawyers and judges to impose a similar rule on themselves. When SCOTUS jumps the rails, following its decision cannot be an excuse to cause more harm.
Actual CA voter here. While anything can happen - fyi, in 2021 national media/pundits/non CA activist folks - Newsome in danger of being recalled by right wingers. Rs dominating advertising. Ds sitting on their hands. Guess what. Recall lost by 25%. Polls now have redistricting winning by 20+%.
Selective memory. Harris had health care, education, housing, environment, social security and tax plans etc.

With all T’s messages & “he told them what they wanted to hear”, T only won by 1.5%. If anyone thinks T’s extra 1.5% & more were not moved by Harris’s gender/race, take off the rose glasses
Maybe legal prodigy! But really just more - Epstein, wait, look Jack Smith. What’s the theory? By prosecuting Trump Smith “interfered” in election? Good luck. Would DOJ have to prove beyond reasonable doubt Smith guilty bc T didn’t do crimes? Essentially putting T on trial. Careful what you ask for
And I suspect anyone federally indicted in NJ will move to dismiss claiming that the charges were wrongfully brought by someone without the legal authority to indict.
Fun thought - next time Dems control presidency and Congress - 🙏🤞- POTUS informs Treasury Department not to pay any bills, including salaries, of the Supreme Court or to transfer any budgeted funds for the Court to use.
California wild fires: urban/suburban, thousands living in affected area (county 10 million) - 29 dead.

Texas floods: rural, sparsely populated (county 55,000) - 120 dead, another 160 missing.

Trump: Texas - nobody does it better
Speaking of prediction - any disaster that happens while I am POTUS is not my fault, no one could ever have predicted it or could have done anything that would have prevented death/harm/destruction unless,

*SPOILER ALERT*

I decide to just blame it on Biden, Newsom, LA’s mayor or any other D.
Class actions are trap; guarantee appeals, delays, remands as new requirements get added in. How’s this - individual lawsuits lots of them in each state if doable, the more the better, get 1,000+++ plaintiffs in as many as possible, avoid class action quagmire. Play the hand you got
Thoughtful legal insight is necessary & important, hey, I’m a lawyer, SCT admitted, but this is a rabbit hole. People, groups, states will try this/that class action idea, will get stuck in appeal loops, all while T’s plainly unlawful EO remains. Run out clock no decision/decision while folks hurt.
So maybe step aside and let some other folks “enforce the obligation” if the infamous 6 feel so incapacitated. Q- since when can a law stop enforcement of const right? “Ah, you face unlawful death penalty today; sorry, law says I have to wait til Saturday; so you will just have to die. Next”
And the national average for the price for gas in January 2025 (last month of President Biden) - $3.08. Even accounting for Trump math, $3.08 under Biden is lower than $3.20 under Trump.
If you engage in or support an insurrection against fed gov’t you can’t hold office. Oh, wait

Not even a president is above the law and can be charged with crimes. Oh, wait

Congress shall have the power to enforce the 14th Amendment through legislation like the Voting Right Act. Oh, wait
Yup, it was the whole class action thing, if not for that, then surely the infamous 6 would have nixed Trump’s EO on birth right citizen; no doubt, bank on it, but use Monopoly bucks.
Don’t need those qualifiers - just write - whose name is Donald J. Trump.
Actually, isn’t this perfect sweet spot. T declares success, military: maybe not. T will never admit not success. So for foreseeable future for T it’s - I’m done, God bless Israel, Iran too, some crazy folks each tho, told you I was the most peaceful person alive, maybe as some say who ever lived.
Sadly the grieving period must be short. We lawyers need to do better; not write the most brilliant brief or speak the most memorable argument. But put our collective feet down. Enough is enough; it’s not getting better. Lawyers must become creative resistors; stop playing the game by the old rules
As law prof, you/other profs know- these aren’t normal rulings & SCT’s infamous 6 care not abt being just. Time for all w big/tiny follows, who as we are law profs, attys, esp we admitted to SCT to say loudly - ENOUGH & SHAME; run adds, burn admit certifs, organize every way b 4 con law = fairy tale
You know this far better than most; these are far from normal times & this SCT is beyond far from being just. Time for all of us w big/tiny follows, who are lawyers, especially those of us admitted to SCT practice to say loudly - ENOUGH & SHAME; run adds, burn admission certifs, organize every way
Still, kind a wild, that the saner side of this bat shut crazy 3 some is a hands down repressive government and its autocrat cleric Supreme Leader. But that’s where we are.
Well, no mystery, at least we now know, if there were doubts, how the infamous 6 would have handled Dred Scott, Plessy, WW II Interment; past time for those of us w large/small followings, who are attys, admitted to US SCT to organize SCT SHAME Campaign, adds, burning admission certifs, whatever.
