See, the problem is you’re thinking like a lawyer actually trying to win a case. I think the simpler answer for all these filings is that they’re written for an audience of one: Trump.

Similar vibe as Fisher, no? I’m beginning to think these capital T Textualists might not actually be all that devoted to the text after all.

The National Bar Association is just a voluntary professional network for attorneys (it’s the historically black counterpart to the American Bar Association). There’s no such thing as a national bar association, in the sense you’re talking about.

Right, but I’m not so sure it fits the definition.

Are we even sure this constitutes the practice the law? Anyone can file a judicial complaint, and I don’t see how drafting the complaint in a “lawyerly” way with case cites really changes things.

I suspect the point is to keep the case before the Court in case the district court extends the TRO without issuing a PI, in which case the Court would probably go ahead and construe the TRO as a PI and rule on the merits.

Next stop: nuking the filibuster the moment it gets in the way of something Trump wants.

No, I’m telling you that no judge wants or needs letters of encouragement from the public. At best it’s spam, with the potential additional headache of deciding what to do with it (disclose to the parties, etc.).

Uh, no. Judges don’t need letters from a bunch of randos weighing in on their cases. That’s just obnoxious.

Maybe in the minority, but I really dislike the recent trend of trial-level amicus briefs in criminal cases. And doing what amicus suggests - appointing an independent prosecutor - would almost certainly result in a rushed disastrous opinion from SCOTUS that makes it even harder to check Trump.

Sure, but these are the rules the people of New York agreed to through their constitution. I might prefer impeachment by an elected body or recall by the people, but that’s not the process New York decided on. Or are you saying that even an impeachment process would be wrong before conviction?

Fun fact: if you combine all these together a swallow them down with a Red Bull, it’s called a “Musk.”

As someone who has watched McConnell deftly rule over senate republicans for all of my adult life, it’s striking to see his influence over the caucus just completely evaporate. Not necessarily surprising, but damn.

I’m starting to Murkowski and Collins are only willing to vote no if it will make a difference, and that they only voted no on Hegseth because they thought they had Tillis.

No, what I’m saying is that if the head of DOGE is a principal officer, then Musk’s appointment is unlawful without regard to the SGE time limit. And confirmation still wouldn’t solve the issue, since congress never created the office in the first instance.

For the sake of your question, are we assuming trump didn’t just turn the head of DOGE into a principal officer?

Pour one out for the judges that are going to have to listen to Trump cronies in the DOJ argue that the Appointments Clause is an unconstitutional restriction on executive power.

I’d also think a devout catholic would feel immense shame at being rebuked by the pope, what with papal infallibility and everything. But having grown up catholic/attended catholic school, that’s not what happens (except John Boehner I guess).
