The most recent decision in a birthright citizenship case illustrates bad lawyering. The judge calls out the Justice Dept for "obduracy in refusing to explore specific alternatives and their workability." Basically, DOJ isn't taking the litigation seriously. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69561...

In today's birthright citizenship decision, the majority of the justices take the position that courts sometimes can't force the Executive to follow the law. That begs the question: if courts can't force the president to follow the law, who can?

It’s notable that in today’s decision releasing Mahmoud Khalil from ICE imprisonment, the federal judge explained that the government hasn’t provided evidence suggesting electronic monitoring or bond is necessary.

I've known David for years. I've seen him fight with slaughterhouse workers in Greeley, housekeepers in Telluride, Uber & Lyft drivers along the Front Range, and renters all over Colorado. I'm thrilled to see him join the race for Attorney General of Colorado. Join me in contributing to his campaign
I'm David Seligman.
I’m running for CO Attorney General.
This campaign is about reclaiming our power from the billionaires who have stolen it from us, from working families. We will fight. And we will win. Because we love our country the core promise it made to us: The law belongs to us.

The most explicit statement from a court that I've seen recognizing that the Trump administration is challenging the rule of law. This is from today's 4th Circuit order denying the DHS emergency stay in Kilmar Abrego García's case.

Yesterday, my Ohio State colleague, Emily Brown, who runs our immigration law clinic, sued DHS over its decision to terminate an OSU PhD student's immigration status. They walk into federal court today. I couldn't be prouder to be part of an academic community that sticks up for our students.
