There is still a lack of clarity about the July 2 injunction issued by U.S. District Judge John Broomes, a Trump appointee. Also: Biden taking on SCOTUS?
I know that I have already mentioned this before on Substack and I have may even have already mentioned it here : the U.S. legal system is very quickly beginning to resemble the Medieval English one in which it could be said with some force that the law depended on the length of the Lord Chancellor’s foot.
If the Dems sweep (and given how red states continually vote against their own self interests, it’s a big if)Biden should add 4 more justices immediately..
Immediately.
they will not stop overturning precedents and breaking everything in the room like a spoiled toddler.
Reading through the episode descriptions of the Sidebar podcast, it looks like it could answer a lot of questions I’ve had about SCOTUS, and issues around it and constitutional law.
I look forward to hearing your episode, and then trawling through the previous ones. Thanks for the recommendation!
I see the breaking news on court reform. Injunctions are one area worthy of congressional action. Broad injunctions should be disfavored and subject to accelerated reviewed. Channeling them into the D.C. Circuit also has been put out there. Details complicated, I know.
I think that Project 2025 is important — and have already begun my coverage of it. But, I think it is inaccurate — and dangerous — to say that groups like Moms for Liberty are "just another part of Project 2025." They may support its aims — even be a part of it — but they are not "just" that. They exist independent of Project 2025 and likely will continue to seek to advance their aims regardless of Project 2025. It's almost semantic — but not quite.
tenterhooks till the court plan emerges.
Regarding SCOTUS term limits and an enforceable code of ethics: about damn time to move on these

Blow up the filibuster and get the reforms done.
Those vile creatures…

Chris, what law firm is representing MFL? It doesn't
say on the notice at top.
MFL is just another part of
Project 2025 under their
dismantling the education
system. They think home
schooling is the way to go.
DeSantis, big backer and
implementer of MFL in FL
has seeded this disastrous
group. Youngkin in VA gave
them their own platform.
They have caused nothing
but divisiveness and trouble.
Am sure DeSantis will ra ra
them at the RNC circus now
performing.

Maybe I can almost see your
point. I live in Arkansas where
MFL have been busy for a
couple of years now. Project 2025 may have been
published 9 months or so
ago, but they've been
actively working within the
red states for longer than a
few months. For me, the
warning bell was what was
going on in FL. It started
bleeding into AR. Huckabee
Sanders is an acolyte of
Trump. Her governorship was
guaranteed here 2 years before she won election. I
pay close attention to a few
of our republican reps,
especially when they're on
home ground. The Political
Animals Club is a little known
about group here that has
a couple of interesting
members, all on the very
down low. I kid you not.
This is the deep south and
it gets nasty here. When Stephen Miller Flys into Little Rock for a visit, word spreads
fast.
