Helpless? Prayers? That’s what pastors and civilians should be doing. We pay members of Congress to ask hard questions, start investigating,and find out if the government could have done more. Do it now before the next storm. We aren’t paying you to pray. We are paying you to help all of us.
Mike Johnson on Texas floods: "In a moment like this, we feel just as helpless as everyone else does ... all we know to do at this moment is pray."

164. Justice Kagan's D.V.D. Concurrence
Thursday's denouement in the third-country removals case was not surprising. But the split between Justice Kagan and Justices Sotomayor and Jackson highlights a deeper (and July 4-appropriate) debate.

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.
- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.
- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

This ruling is very, very bad
The ruling allows states to kick any healthcare provider out of Medicaid just because they offer abortions, and opens the door to banning clinics for providing birth control and gender affirming care.

The Medina v. Planned Parenthood decision effectively means that South Carolina can "defund" Planned Parenthood, and Medicaid recipients can't challenge that in a federal lawsuit.

If you're not placing today's ruling against gender-affirming care for trans youth in the context of John Roberts' lifelong campaign to suck the life out of the Fourteenth Amendment, and equality for actual humans more broadly, you're doing it wrong.
