“Trump has received decisions in 23 cases on the shadow docket. He’s won 20 of them. Every time Trump makes a shadow docket appeal he might as well shout ‘By the power of Greyskull’”
Every time Trump submits one the 6 cons on the court rule in his favor faster than Usain Bolt does the 100m dash

The Supreme Court's use and abuse of the Shadow Docket is *how* Chief Justice John Roberts legitimizes Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover of the government.

I read the opinion of this 2nd Am case & leave the analysis of that doctrine/history to Jake. I analyze the migration & citizenship elements of the majority and dissent. Both make errors of historical analysis that compound w/ the 2nd Am analysis. 1/
NEW: 6th Cir upholds the fed law barring undocumented immigrants from having guns.
What's shocking, though, is Judge Thapar's separate opinion arguing that noncitizens lack not only 2nd Am rights, but likely 1st, 4th & other const'l rights! 🧵

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

I've said elsewhere that Wiles is almost certainly one of Marc Caputo's very good WH sources, so she likely expected the same kind of treatment from VF.
I also think Trump people don't realize how horrible things they view as okay really are.

I want every single solitary Republican in every elected office in every corner of this country to be asked about Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner.
They like to cloak themselves in religion…
Then read it to them.
Don’t let them say they “didn’t see it.”
Let them “defend” it.
