The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

I guess I am cynical but when a powerful politician abruptly resigns for an exciting private sector opportunity, I usually think the opportunity is “trying not to go to prison for what I did to that 14-year-old in a Motel 6.”

This is *wild* on the shadow docket in this way.
They’re not only overturning precedent on the shadow docket, but ~deciding~ other cases in a non-binding (dicta) way to give cover for these actions.
Today, this unnamed group of conservative justices, not even claiming this is “per curiam,” say that the Federal Reserve is different. Sure.

Most of my friends think I'm wasting my time and, I probably am. But I had to try.
Here is an open letter, and an honest plea, to Clarence Thomas, in hopes that he might do the right thing this decision season.

4) It's driving me a little crazy the idea that the Democratic party has something it has to answer for when, in fact, the party undertook a totally unprecedented, wrenching, brutal, difficult effort to PUSH OUT THEIR OWN NOMINEE just a few months before election day!
