Has anyone mentioned that if only Kiner-Falefa had run through the plate rather than sliding--which presumably is what he's been taught to do--the Blue Jays would be world champions? Astonishing blunder--much worse than Buckner. And heartbreaking.

On why Trump's determination that the U.S. is engaged in an armed conflict with drug cartels is (i) wrong; and (ii) insufficient, in any event, to make legal the strikes against vessels in the Caribbean. https://t.co/p7u0vNMD0W

Trump administration's "armed conflict" theory should not be treated as a plausible basis to justify lethal strikes on vessels and civilians.

I can scarcely imagine what it's like to be an operational enlistee or commander directed to comply with such a legally dubious order in this administration. A horrible position to be in. I tease it out a bit in this post.

This is really beautifully put, and so apt. These losses are simply incalculable. Thanks, Cass.

"Do you like to see professional golfers lose their shit? If the nine previous U.S. Opens contested at Oakmont are any indication, you are in for a treat this week." Over at the Ringer, I previewed 2025's harsh third major at one of golf's cruelest venues.

Sure, it might be a little weird that American golf’s national championship has a fetish for pain, but it’s also pretty fun

Sam assumes that "in the cases before the Court, an injunction could protect some plaintiffs from executive action related to birthright citizenship ... without protecting anyone else." But that's far from clear, and that's why it'll be a big part of the argument today. [3]

I think Sam underestimates the extent to which the question of whether a universal injunction is necessary/useful to ensure complete relief to the parties themselves will be central to today's argument. [2]

I agree with Nick that Sam's posts are invaluable, even if I don't share Sam's views in every particular. One important thing about today's argument: [1]
If you haven't been reading Sam Bray's series on universal injunctions over at @DividedArgument in preparation for Thursday's oral argument in the birthright citizenship case, you are doing it wrong. (Links below.)

Perhaps in order to make the Court more amenable to the remainder of the actions. At what point do principled political appointees at DOJ and other agencies say “enough,” and resign? (Here’s hoping, but not holding my breath.). (2)

At this point—between this “hybrid criminal state” nonsense and the absurd Paul Weiss order—hard to avoid the conclusion that they’re just goading the SCOTUS, daring it to strike down numerous things as way beyond any serious claim of authority. (1) https://t.co/SrIe5aAgXX
