The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Just to be clear: as Secretary for the local NAACP, Parks, a petite Black woman, drove by herself around Alabama and East Texas investigating rapes and lynchings and persuading victims/families to go to court + later volunteered to be the face of the Birmingham bus boycott. She wasn’t just tired.

SCOTUS agreed to hear this case before it even finished in the lower courts. When a case helps the conservative (religious) agenda, they jump in early. When it’s voting rights, gun safety, or LGBTQ protections, they say it’s “too soon.” Religious freedom isn't being attacked, the rule of law is.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
