Worth noting that Judge Graber is the only member of the panel from Oregon—and from Portland at that, I believe. Prob. not most important factor, but might be extra hard to defer to the regime when the judge can personally and directly observe that its factual determinations lack merit.

The problem with these surveys is that an answer like “similar threat” can (or a respondent may worry it could) come across as “I don’t think this is a big deal,” rather than “I anticipated the rule of law was in dire peril the moment they called the election.”

“Jawboning” is what Trump has been doing for months—arguably for years. You could debate whether this is a completed or merely threatened violation of the Constitution, but I don’t know whether that really matters legally (except in a damages action, which happily is off the table!)

💯 This doesn’t seem complicated—they dictated exactly what needed to happen (fire Kimmel) and the official consequences for noncompliance (revocation of licenses on public interest grounds). I feel like even pre-Vullo, ABC would have a standing to sue for a declaratory judgment.

Clearly this is forced by the goofy Mercator projection, but if I had to choose an X axis, it wouldn’t be the Equator: significantly more land mass, population and cultures (by extension cuisines) north of the Equator than south.

What’s most insane of all is that what they were actually asked was “hey, could you wish this guy a happy birthday?” and this is what they came up with.

When you are on the same curve as Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Jeffries, (I could go on)…yeah, you look great.

For my part, I expect tristate-area Dem politicians with a national profile to come across as complete empty suits, black holes that absorb the charisma of those around them. So anytime there’s someone with a bit of personality (Mamdani, AOC, even Adams), they seem like JFK come again.
