Trump's National Guard activation remains in effect. Also: The Supreme Court's conservatives keep pushing the law to the right. And: A Law Dork birthday!
Thank you for being here with your explanations of the courts & their rulings. You are one of the best sources online. I always read what you post because I can count on you to help me understand the truth of what is going on in these troubled times. Thanks again.
Congratulations -- and thank you! -- on completing your third year, Law Dork. You make everything clearer, without hyperbole or exaggeration, in this murky and confused time. Keep up the great work, Chris.
Might I suggest...? Perhaps this SCOTUS break will afford you an opportunity to delve into War Powers, Congressional action thereof, and the executive branch's intentions to ignore its responsibilities. We're in for it one way or another on the War front, I fear. Let's learn everything we can about what Congress can do and what the President mustn't do.
Many thanks for clarity and candor, Chris. You're doing a fabulous job -- keep it up!
Frightful. SCOTUS apparently has had it with riffraff! And precedent? Lower court findings? Unable to withstand the power and wisdom of the elites! O bow us down to Master Donald, his supremacy is blinding.
Riley is about “deadlines” only in a technical sense. It’s really about whether certain Immigration Judge decisions denying noncitizens humanitarian relief can be reviewed *at all*. According to the Fourth Circuit decision below, the deadline for appealing those decisions comes before the decision is handed down, meaning that noncitizens can get their day in court only with the help of a time machine. (I was involved with one of the amicus briefs in this case.)
What I see is that acts of Congress don't necessarily mean anything after a few years. The moneyed interests invariably put the law through the wringer of the legal system, until nothing's left. It's hard enough to get Congress to do its job, only to have it subsequently undone through nondemocratic processes.

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday! Some of your analyses are not quite dumbed down enough for me but I get most of it and am so glad you are on the job.
I wish you still told us how many subscribers you have. It was fun watching the number climb!
Thanks for the update. The current rule of law at the Court seems to be: What did Congress mean when it passed a law? I Really Don't Care, Do U?
Hi Chris,

Thank you so much Chris. I do wish I were able to give more.
Thank you for your clear explanations!
