The call to denaturalize Mamdani is reprehensible... but let's focus on the way this dude is telling on himself.
Although they claim otherwise, they genuinely think NYC is the center of the universe.

And, predictably, in Medina, Justice Thomas isn't content to axe Planned Parenthood from Medicaid.
He would go further ... "to reexamine more broadly this Court’s §1983 jurisprudence . . . ."
This is an invitation to undermine a major foundation of civil rights litigation.

Don't let the unanimity fool you. In Ames, the Court's nominally unanimous opinion masks deeper disagreements among the Justices about the future of employment disc. law. Case in point, Thomas's concurrence inviting reconsideration of/overruling the McDonnell Douglas burden-shifting framework.
