It is always key to remember that none of this would be possible without the Supreme Court and congressional leadership acceding to virtually all that Trump wants, as I have written. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-is-s...
Trump is spiraling. We face the consequences. Where are the other branches?
James Madison expected more from the other "departments," as he referred to them. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

Is DoJ‘s theory in the two counts of the indictment is that Comey lied to Congress when he said he had not “authorized someone else in the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports” about the Russia investigation of Trump, when in fact he authorized McCabe to do it?
That’s a very hard case.

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.
