Ditto. They’re going to gut the VRA, allow racially discriminatory gerrymanders, and then what?
Good luck reforming the court if they make sure Dems are never in charge again.

Lower courts should simply continue to rule according to plain meaning of the Constitution. Ignore Scotus' twisted "interpretations" & so-called precedents. Scotus set the precedent for ignoring precedent. Force upon Scotus a backlog of overturning sound rulings & breaking oath every single time.

By law, the Department of Justice CAN go to another grand jury and try again. But even if they succeed (a big IF in this case), the DOJ will have handed Letitia James even more evidence for her vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss the charges. And that motion was already quite strong.
A separate source familiar with the matter said there “should be no premature celebrations.”

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Per the NYT, a bizarre legal fiction underlies this matter, i.e., a claim boats allegedly carrying drugs are engaged in armed combat. Based on that falsehood, the second strike may have been justified on the even more false premise that survivors, by radioing for help, were continuing the "fight."

The USA’s relationship to the ICC is poorly understood, including by me before I looked into it. This is a good explainer (from last year) that gives the details. It’s effed up.
My point is, the ICC has what you might describe as negative jurisdiction re: the US, NATO, and our other allies.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."
