Awesome!
BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

when I was in law school everyone knew that joining the federalist society was like getting tsa precheck for a clerkship
I’m a law prof & a YLS grad and anyone familiar w elite law schools knows it is beyond laughable to describe these places as radicalism hotbeds. Cruz knows this, as does JD Vance. But they assume that their marks are too unsophisticated to know it too. It’s condescending as hell.

Yes this is a good point, going from Stephen Miller to Mamdani would be like emerging from the sewer in Shawshank

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.

New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

I know, I know, the point is how pathetic Elon is (off the charts pathetic), but I just want to point out the insidious racism of calling LeBron a “genetic freak optimized” for basketball. A way of suggesting his talent is both accidental and doesn’t involve anything other than physical ability.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

One of the most striking developments of the last two decades or so is that everyone on the right -- media, politician, judge, cop, pastor -- has started sounding basically the same, ie, like an unhinged blogger. They're all in the same bubble now, w/ the same shibboleths, using the same vocab.
In an unhinged dissent in our Texas redistricting victory, a GOP appointed judge seems to believe that George Soros and I did...well, I'm not sure what...but he is very mad. Bigly.

Just a modest request that @strictscrutiny.bsky.social does an entire episode on this opinion? 🙏
I have never seen an opinion like Judge Smith’s dissent in the Texas redistricting case in public before. H/t to the election law blog

I just ctrl+f'd and... "Soros" appears in this dissent 17 times
The TX redistricting dissent from Judge Jerry Smith is in. It's....a lot. He calls out the "pernicious judicial misbehavior" of Judge Brown (a Trump appointed judge) who wrote yesterday's opinion.

Somebody who isn't a real US attorney has been proceeding against somebody in federal court with a faked indictment.

In a sane system, Halligan would be going to prison.
Sure. "The Grand Jury did not see the operative indictment" is the kind of fuckup where lawyers literally don't actually know what happens next because it SO fundamental a thing that it is LITERALLY possible nobody had even thought of this as a thing that could happen.
Translate for us non-law-talkers...?
