Supreme Court is increasingly pre-empting, rather than overruling, lower courts.

It’s similar in structure to the President firing mid-level bureaucrats or the Secretary of State personally ordering someone deported.

A dangerous concentration of power.
Certiorari "before judgment" is how #SCOTUS takes up a full appeal *before* the intermediate federal courts have heard it.

It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019.

This is the *23rd* such grant since then.
#BREAKING: Over dissents from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the Slaughter case (allowing President Trump to remove the last Dem member of the FTC), *and* grants certiorari "before judgment" to decide whether to formally overrule its 1935 ruling in Humphrey's Executor.

Congress wrote laws to protect leaders of independent agencies like the FTC, SEC and The Fed from being fired at will. That’s the law. SCOTUS agreed in 1935.

Todays corrupt SCOTUS may tear that down. Benjamin Franklin warned us: the republic would only survive if we could keep it.
We're not.
Supreme Court will weigh expanding Trump’s power to shape agencies by overturning 90-year-old ruling
The Supreme Court will consider expanding President Donald Trump’s power to shape independent agencies by overturning a nearly century-old decision limiting when presidents can fire board members.

WIN: The Utah Supreme Court denied the state legislature’s request to keep its gerrymandered congressional map in place for upcoming elections.

The decision likely ensures Utahns will have fair districts in 2026 and could give Democrats an additional seat in Congress.

All right, the former divisive podcaster turned head of the FBI has taken credit for the arrest of the shooter of the divisive podcaster turned conservative martyr. It’s time to go back to demanding the release of the Epstein Files.

Rest in peace to the wonderful actor, Graham Greene.
I struck up an internet friendship with Graham Greene after we kept getting mistaken for each other on social media. He was a funny and kind man, and we used to have a laugh about getting together and confusing the shit out of people. Rest easy, mate. See you when I get there.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.
