I’ve checked and there is a Nuremberg in Pennsylvania. Just a census designated place, so not sure if it could handle trials.

The Trumpist majority on SCOTUS, like Trump himself, is spending down a trust fund they did not create, apparently believing it refills automatically. But it doesn’t. The whole system depends on other key institutions treating their rulings as legitimate.
It seems like federal district courts are in full revolt against SCOTUS. I've never seen such direct scathing criticism of SCOTUS like this from the bench over their shadow docket rulings quietly overturning precedent without explanation.
From the Harvard decision today.
From the Harvard decision today.
![A screenshot of page 28 of a legal document discussing the difficulty lower courts face when interpreting unclear or rapidly evolving guidance from the Supreme Court.
The following phrases and sentences are highlighted in yellow:
* "That said, the Supreme Court’s recent emergency docket rulings regarding grant terminations have not been models of clarity, and have left many issues unresolved."
* "California was a four-paragraph per curiam decision issued in the context of a stay application."
* "The outcome, which no party had requested, was, thus, inconsistent with the views of eight justices"
* "the issues are complex and evolving."
* "this Court, not the district courts or courts of appeals, will often still be the ultimate decisionmaker as to the interim legal status of major new federal statutes and executive actions."
* "...it is unhelpful and unnecessary to criticize district courts for “defy[ing]” the Supreme Court when they are working to find the right answer in a rapidly evolving doctrinal landscape, where they must grapple with both existing precedent and interim guidance from the Supreme Court that appears to set that precedent aside without much explanation or consensus."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sefgphqp2xqwh2hawaixykwz/bafkreigccsnzzzeeozgxugdllvfylmdjlrmifsf34rgsubkhl5f2viivzu@jpeg)

There also needs to be recognition that consciously or unconsciously, the folks who now "distrust experts" especially on climate, delay precautionary action as a social result of that internalized prejudice. (Then blame those experts for not getting alarms past the new cognitive barriers.)

Today in 1961—less than four days after President John F. Kennedy’s inauguration—a B-52G bomber on airborne alert over North Carolina suffered a massive fuel leak, caught fire, and exploded on approach to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. As it broke up, two 3.8-Megaton B39 Mod 2 H-bombs fell out.
