It's interesting to find out who Chris Geidner really is. Blocking folks for rightly being shocked with his use of substack. I guess as long as he profits he's fine with nazis. #ChrisGeidner

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Abbe Lowell and @MarkSZaidEsq (Twitter) are representing
@CDCgov Director Susan Monarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement: (on Twitter)

“As #ChrisGeidner put it at #LawDork, Bove’s nomination is “a line in the sand” moment. #Bove is so patently unfit for judicial office that the consequences of Senate acquiescence can’t be oversold: If Senate Republicans confirm Bove, it’s hard to imagine who they’d reject.”

It does matter. Defending the rule of law in the Trump era is essential. Trump cannot ignore constitutional limits on his power — or any court order enforcing those limits. We must keep saying so. Also, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

John Roberts attacks court criticism that he decides lacks a "credible basis" as "illegitimate" Conflating violence against judges with broad criticism the court faces for its extremism, the chief justice ultimately sends a chilling end-of-year report.

Dems going after trans people this week should be ashamed of themselves Be skeptical of those proposing instant solutions — especially when they involve making vulnerable people even more vulnerable.

Then there's this #lawdork #chrisgeidner #lgbtq

SCOTUS conservatives allow Virginia's late voter-purge program to go back into effect A stark reminder that this Supreme Court is not interested in being and will not serve as a guardrail for democracy.

Appeals court ruling would block ballots received after Election Day from counting A far-right Fifth Circuit panel held on Friday that Mississippi's law is preempted by federal law. It did not appear that the ruling would apply to this year’s election.

In search of debate fodder, CNN pushes an anti-trans Kamala Harris hit piece CNN turned a 2019 Harris answer about whether transgender people should receive necessary medical care when in government custody into an engagement-bait trifecta of hate.

As #chrisgeidner wrote today, George W Bush and Mike Pence, you're up.

Biden and Harris take on the Supreme Court Although the news of the day is Biden's high court reform proposals, Harris's quick backing of them as a presidential candidate could be the long-term development that matters.

DeSantis high court majority: DeSantis can easily oust people's elected prosecutors The seven-justice, all-Republican-appointee Florida Supreme Court, including five Ron DeSantis appointees, expanded DeSantis’s power to overturn the will of the voters.

What this country is, now: packed courts overturn what voters want, essentially nullifying the #righttovote.

Washington Post bombshell: Washington Post buried Alito flag story for three years Saturday's report raises many questions, several relating to the fact that the Post, at least passively, made the decision not to reveal this news many times since 2021.

Sam Alito is a problem Chief Justice John Roberts must take responsibility for his court. If he does not, what follows will be his legacy — and we’ll have to deal with the fallout.
