Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing.
it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary.

The House is trying to vote as soon as today on their budget bill. Several members who declared they wouldn’t cut Medicaid have now gone quiet as their ‘walk-the-plank’ moment approaches.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”
Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win
In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

9/11 First Responders: “The Secretary (RFK JR) is uniquely unqualified… This is 20 years of bullshit… nobody apologized after 9/11 — instead we created the World Trade Center Health program. And then to gut it? You took your own apology away from us… Kennedy is an id*ot.”

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

The Attorney General is so unserious.
If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this.
Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

The emergency began when the supreme court declared a self proclaimed dictator immune firm the law. All Americans lost all constitutional rights at that moment. Not sure what good it will do for them to realize it now.
