Just a D.C. attorney looking for his lost shaker of salt. Plainly not the real Jimmy Buffett, don't be daft. Tweets adhere to the standards at 1 U.S.C. § 1.

People say this is extremely stupid, and they're right. But what they forget is that it's also exactly what we deserve.

Sometimes I hope Josh is angling for a nomination, because it's so much more embarassing if he acts this way for free.

Yeah there's lots of potential problems with this lawsuit but this aint one. And to say "judicial norms out the window" because people are applying ripeness doctrine that has been the law for 60 years is ???.
Also, if traditional rules of ripeness applied, there’d be no lawsuit. No one has yet been denied a benefit of citizenship. And the parents have no legitimate expectation or reliance interests in coming illegally. Judicial norms out the window.

Yovino addresses the converse position, so may not precisely foreclose Josh's suggestion. But boy it sure suggests you can't go around changing your votes after opinions come out.

I had previously made fun of this suggestion on the ground that it would never happen, but is it even possible?. Absent a grant of rehearing, I have never heard of a judge attempting to change his vote post-opinion release. Indeed, Yovino v. Rizo suggests this is not allowed.

Interesting that it has been two weeks now and Josh has said nary a word about CASA.

How does this even work? Presumably the lead plaintiff is a parent suing in a representative capacity for her child, so it's a representative representative suit? That's a little weird, usually you have to be closely related to a child to litigate on their behalf in court.
Breaking: Trump's birthright citizenship order is blocked nationwide again, after a judge in New Hampshire said he would certify a nationwide class of children who would be deprived of citizenship if the policy took effect.

Democracy is when the Constitution allows presidents I like to do things I like and prohibits presidents I dislike from doing things I dislike. The moment someone is allowed to do something I dislike, democracy is in peril.

Sorry but as between Leah Litman, Melissa Murray, and Kate Shaw on the one hand and Justice Kagan on the other, I'll bet on Kagan getting the law closer to right every single time. It's not even close.

This segment is amazing—three purportedly intelligent law professors cannot even concieve of the idea that a fellow liberal just disagrees with them in individual cases. Worse still, they think it is RACIST for her to disagree as the only white liberal. They have lost the plot.

This is an almost sanctionably frivolous argument. Stopping funding to Planned Parenthood cannot be a bill of attainder not least because PP does not (and cannot) have a vested property right in as-yet-unappropriated payments. And plenty more reasons besides.
The lead count in Planned Parenthood's complaint is, believe it or not, bill of attainder. What more do you need to know about how baseless this complaint is?

In any event, "Hitler was a peaceful guy, Churchill was the warmonger" is a take so insane that people who adopt it should be screened by a psychologist.

Funny how these people only ever end up defending history's worst regimes—Hitler's Germany, the Ayatollahs' Iran, and so on. Being so contrarian that you start defending genocidaires is not a good thing. Sometimes, the popular wisdom is right.
Where to start? The leaflet referred to here—“A Last Appeal to Reason,” by Adolf Hitler—was dropped en masse on August 1, 1940. By that date: . 1) Nazi Germany’s attempt to destroy the Royal Air Force ahead of an invasion of Britain was already in its fourth week (on July 10,

The service industry is doing everything it can to kill people's willingness to tip. Demanding tips for counter service? Check. Demanding tips for self-serve kiosks? Check. Adding 20% "service charge" which you claim "is not a tip"? Check. Soon people will stop complying.

It's not no tax on tips itself that will do this. It's that no tax on tips will incentivize even more aggressive solicitation of tips, and people are already sick and tired of being harassed with tip demands at self-serve kiosks.
The no tax on tips is going to backfire on workers. People are angry and will refuse to tip.

Given how much students pay for law school now, they're entitled to expect gold-plated toilets and free caviar. Instead, they too often get ramshackle buildings and extra fees for $300 textbooks. If law schools won't take affordability seriously, I'm glad the government will.

There's never any introspection about why tuition alone exceeds $50,000 a year at these schools, nor whether it should. Just bemoaning when the government finally turns off the free money spigot.
Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill caps the amount of money law students can borrow at 50,000 dollars a year. That doesn't even cover tuition at many law schools, let alone cost of living. This is devastating.

This is stupid. What power does Davis think Roberts has over individual district judges? What "consequences" does he think the Court can impose on them?. In fact, Davis knows this isn't how things work, and he's playing dumb to gin up anger at the Court.
Illegal aliens are avoiding deportation by pretending they're persecuted back home. So the Trump administration sends them to third countries. A Boston Democrat judge unlawfully blocked this. More than two months later, the Supreme Court finally reversed. The same day, that.
