The dissent does an excellent job making the majority look like fools. cst.brightspotcdn.com/d9/44/ff61b3...

The district court’s factual findings, which the government does not
challenge on appeal, and which are not clearly erroneous in any event, fully resolve
this issue. In the two weeks leading up to the President’s September 27 social
media post, there had not been a single incident of protesters’ disrupting the
execution of the laws. Oregon, 2025 WL 2817646, at *10. I repeat: not a single
incident for two weeks. Here are summaries from police reports for the five days
preceding the President’s social media post.
September 22: Approx. 7-10 people. No calls.
September 23: Few people. No activity.
September 24: Approx. 10 people. No calls.
September 25: Approx. 20 people. No calls.
September 26: Approx. 15 people. Energy low, minimal activity.
No incidents.
A police officer’s report from September 26 stated: “Throughout the day we
observed approximately 8-15 people at any given time out front of ICE. Mostly
sitting in lawn chairs and walking around.”
It is hard to understand how a tiny protest causing no disruptions could
possibly satisfy the standard that the President is unable to execute the laws.

It’s endlessly depressing watching all these tech oligarchs try and convince themselves they’re geniuses instead of people who just happened to benefit from capitalism requiring their products and then the entire political and banking system gassing them up with with free money and tireless support.

I prefer governments that serve their citizens rather than those that punish their citizens.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.

I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats.

The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

Old constitutional crisis: President disobeys the Supreme Court.
