I know he falls short in terms of longevity and career totals, but I keep coming back to this thought about this year's Hall of Fame Contemporary Era ballot:
Fernando Valenzuela's story -- between his early dominance and the cultural impact of Fernandomania -- is worthy of a plaque in Cooperstown.

I don't think the Justices understand the extent to which they are playing with fire. The more they do this, the more District Courts will engage in open disrespect of the Supreme Court, because what other response is there to open disrespect directed at them? That's bad for the Judiciary, period.

The Supreme Court majority has decided that they are the fact-finders, and the facts are what they want them to be, and quite frankly if District Courts disagree, they can pound sand because they're not the ones in charge.
They're right about the last part. But the damage they're doing is longterm.

As Justice Kagan begins her dissent by pointing out, what is even the point of trial, of fact-finding, of clear error, of standards of review, when the Supreme Court simply ignores every single part of that and decides everything purely on the papers without any real consideration of the facts?

It's just a fact that in order to pass this bill, it would require 4 repubs to vote for it. Because voters gave repubs all the power. So people with repub reps should flood their phones demanding they vote for this.
All 214 House Democrats support legislation to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.
We only need 4 House Republicans to join us.
And we can save healthcare for tens of millions of Americans.

Judge Howell's decision begins by clarifying a piece of constant misinformation coming out of the Trump admin: "[V]iewing all immigrants potentially subject to removal as criminals is, as a legal matter, plain wrong."

Great! This mirrors the outcome of the Castanon-Nava settlement in Chicago. However, as we've seen in that case, compliance will be a serious issue.
Judge Howell just enjoined warrantless immigration arrests in DC without probable cause to believe the person is a flight risk.
