lol two AUSAs from EDNC versus Michael Dreeben is like Moldova trying to fight Russia
Oh, I'm sorry.

Did I say Comey added THREE people to his team?

In addition, he's adding MICHAEL FUCKING DREEBEN (one of the best appellate lawyers out there, and a member of both the Mueller and Jack Smith teams).
Yeah this. He’s assumed both tax and spend powers.
The President collected a tax on his own, then appropriated it on his own. That is like the first thing the Constitution says he cannot do. So excuse me if I think destroying the American Experiment is too “creative.”
Leavitt: "The president tapped into tariff revenue to keep WIC money going out the door. He found a creative solution to keep the troops paid. And rather than congratulate him for doing that, this unprecedented action to get our troops paid, Dems want to sue him for it. They're saying it's illegal."
Handling of the OPR report suggests differently no? Seems more of a political decision at the time in light of interim finding of professional misconduct.
The kids are not alright
POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

You can tell it’s AI because the “reporter” has three hands lol
The correct answer is tomato, onion, whitefish salad on toasted plain bagel
I take the point given his prior posts clearly showing no regard for his animal companion, but ecollars are appropriate training tools when used correctly. This particular model has a vibration setting (the sensation of your phone ringing) and separate shock setting that ranges from 1-100.
I grew up on the Post. We got it every morning at my childhood house. It was the first news subscription I ever bought. I cancelled my subscription yesterday. One, I can’t in good faith support this kind of editorial position. Two, hollowing out news means the Post keeps me less informed. Bye, Post.
I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges
Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

Two guns and drugs prosecutors from EDNC are unprepared for the amount of paper they’re going to get on the rocket docket. Motion for bill of particulars now one of many motions, on top of CIPA, vindictive and selective prosecution, etc

Not much CIPA in EDNC!
MORE DETAILS: Comey’s counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, told the judge that the defense still doesn’t know the names of “PERSON 1” and “PERSON 3” referred to in the indictment.
Thank you for describing my Sunday
I’m sure Bondi’s main justice would try to seek an indictment charging seditious conspiracy in such a circumstance.
where am I supposed to sue Santa for trespass now? ??
I don’t understand how you can teach admin and not understand equitable jurisdiction. Every challenge to a Biden EO that the right filed in those four years included an ultra vires claim! Was Kascymaryk without jurisdiction in this lawsuit filed by AFPI?
Yeah it’s hilariously bad faith. Wurman and his fellow travelers were cheering along every “ultra vires” claim that America First Legal brought against Biden qua President, but now all of a sudden there was never equitable jurisdiction for such claims in the first place? Come on.
"The ability to sue to enjoin unconstitutional actions by... federal officers ... reflects a long history of judicial review of illegal executive action, tracing back to England." Armstrong v. Exceptional Child Ctr., Inc., 575 U.S. 320, 327 (2015) (Scalia, for the Court)
I read this as a dnd campaign themed after GBBO and now I have a great new idea for a one shot
Good rule! I wonder if we might make an exception to the general rule to enforce the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, to which the United States is a party.
Meeting the lonely boys where they’re at to make them even sadder, lonelier, and angrier.
As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.

Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?
(SCOTUS majority is hiding in the basement. Remains to be seen if, to my horror at least, there will be barricades)
I think frequently in this historical moment of the late Judge Silberman’s concurrence in Swan v Clinton, insisting his response to a lawless Clinton administration would be to head to the courthouse’s metaphorical (or perhaps literal?) “basement or [] barricades”
That should be rare, obviously. And it should yield the best writing. What makes *this* opinion so good, imo, is that it speaks to all audiences at once, in part through that rhetorical device of a “letter”. But the letter is not to a real person. The letter writer is the id of the American public
If an issue of public important, tone and reading level changed to make it accessible to the public. A few times, however, I confronted first order issues that undergird our constitutional republic and the rule of law. For that, oratory was necessary. Because the audience included history herself 2/
Brief story on clerking and judicial writing. Before drafting, I/we always thought about our audience. Brief legalese for simple issues, because only the parties would read the opinion. Slightly more abstruse writing for closer issues, because then the audience includes the court of appeals 1/
the postcard cited in judge young's ruling isn't just at the top, it's a framing device. the whole opinion is a letter to the postcard writer. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I’ve made it through about 2/3 of the opinion, skipping forward at places, and this is among the best judicial writing I’ve read, and should be considered, in my lowly opinion, some of the best legal writing of this century

So kinda serious question that #lawtwitter might be interested in, to the extent we exist anymore. I’m sure you have a successful practice. What effect does your minor celebrity on the internets have on business development? Are your takes too spicy for certain clients? Quite the opposite?
This is all the more remarkable coming from Crow. Unlike a number of his colleagues, he really distinguished himself on Jan 6 keeping his cool, and has continued to remain on message and eloquent in the minority. Also remarkable that he is breaking from leadership to a certain degree.
