Chatted with the indispensable @janainelson.bsky.social, Prez of the @legaldefensefund.bsky.social, about how, post-Callais and mid-Trump, we have to *both* fight in the courts and work to reform them. Amen. @meidastouch.com @legalafmtn.bsky.social @courtacctability.bsky.social bit.ly/4pSa7Yo

If you're hearing spin that the meeting was "productive" and/or these women are just political operatives, remember: they were under oath yesterday and praised Josh Hawley--Josh Hawley--for his conduct in their private meeting with him. They are honest brokers. Blanche is not. #BlockBlanche

NEWS: Epstein survivors just gave Todd Blanche a failing grade after their meeting. "Condescending." "Gaslighting." No plan to go after anyone beyond Epstein and Maxwell. And Sen. Tillis's reaction? Somehow worse.

Trial lawyers know what Grassley’s doing—taking the sting out of bad facts before the cross-examiner can bring them up. But it usually doesn’t last the entire direct…

It's already Todd Blanche's legacy that he protected Donald Trump & and the Epstein Class over female victims of sex abuse. Tell your Senators not to make it theirs, too.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

Justice Barrett would laugh at and rule against anyone who just flat refused to answer a question from her at oral argument. Yet she gets to do this when the robe’s on the other foot. Doesn’t sound like equal branches to me.

Alex Aronson

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

We can have a world where families get to haul ICE killers into court, take their money & badges, and get closure. We can have a world with real accountability. But we need news laws & a new Supreme Court, which took all of it away from us in the first place. Let's demand it back.

@katiephang.bsky.social is a triple threat advocate, attorney & journalist, and she’s using all those skills to sue Todd Blanche for covering up the Epstein Files. With his confirmation hearing coming up, we chatted on @legalafmtn.bsky.social about her case. #BlockBlanche youtu.be/g0ddg4Anfwg?...

@leahlitman.bsky.social & I did a @strictscrutiny.bsky.social speed round on red cards, corruption, birthright, court reform, and Emil Bove’s not at all creepy (or judicially independent) cell phone background. Take a look. youtu.be/YEnI_2C65ow?...

Catch me & the great @frost.house.gov on @mspopok.bsky.social tonight, covering why this horrific SCOTUS term should be the last straw on court reform.

Legal AF

Now that our annual Supreme Court wreckage is complete (and we’re all still citizens, for now), join me, @leahlitman.bsky.social, @elienyc.bsky.social, @audrelawdamercy.blacksky.app & @mikesacks.bsky.social to talk about fixing this thing for good.

Don’t believe the lie that the Roberts Court is killing independent agencies to make government “more democratically accountable.” They’ve gutted voting rights, made it impossible to sue rogue officials, defied congressional oversight & refused an enforceable ethics code. They *hate* accountability.

I’m glad the Roberts Court didn’t blow up the Fed today, but it was a policy decision to help Trump and their rich friends, who like the Fed but don’t like other regulators. No other straight faced way to justify the two outcomes.

The Supreme Court is not a court. We've known that for a while. But it's not supreme, either. Time to take our power back.

Mark Joseph Stern

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

You see, the seat at the Treasury Department would have been empty otherwise, so it’s fine that an Alito sat in it.

NOTUS

Samuel Alito’s son has been working as an attorney with the Treasury’s office of the general counsel for months even as the Supreme Court takes up cases involving the department. https://www.notus.org/us-news/samuel-philip-alito-trump-treasury-department

A little lost in the redistricting insanity is that it would all go away if Republicans just, you know, tried to appeal to minority voters with, like, policies that helped them. But that’s obviously off the table, so instead, we get this.

Anyone else read “Yaxel Lendeborg” and hear “Troxel v Granville”? No? Cool.

They told us to shut up and buy the cheap cuts at the grocery store while taking our tax money to start a war in the Middle East. #GoldenEra

Not gonna live blog this horrorshow, but it must be reiterated until there's no life in my lungs: Trump does not know nor has ever known ball.
