In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt.
He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”

This ruling is a big deal; the deployment of the guard was awful, harmful, and autocratic.
But SCOTUS isn’t all good now!!

Brett Kavanaugh assures me this is the sort of minor inconvenience that shouldn't disturb anyone.
This is terrifying!
ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)
This is Trump’s America.

When we get to pleading in my first-year Civil Procedure class, my students often ask me just how over the top a complaint would have to be for a judge to strike it without even being *asked* to do so.

It is impossible to overstate the inanity of the vapid and stupid stunt of renaming the Defense Department, and Congress should step in and put a stop to it immediately.

/2 In my view, a judge who thinks a bar complaint is the appropriate response to a lawyer criticizing a decision as “fascist” is unsuited to be a judge and dubiously suited to be respected as a fellow American.
