“The military lawyer who advised the admiral, whom The Post is not identifying because they serve in a secretive unit…”
The press shouldn’t be covering for secretive military lawyers. He or she is a JAG, not some undercover operative. The people involved in this should be named and held to account

The Roberts Court’s sage attempt to tamp down accusations of criminality against political opponents by granting presidents near-absolute criminal liability really working wonders

The prohibition on inquiry into motives was specifically with respect to criminal charges. One would hope, maybe in vain, that they wouldn’t extend it to all civil contexts.

Also astounding (and worrying) that he presented gay marriage as some contested cultural or religious issue instead of a constitutionally guaranteed right and the law of the land, as SCOTUS itself held.

What is the issue with this? If drug companies bear the liability, they’ll raise the prices to offset, which gets passed off to payors and ultimately to the public. If gov pays, it’s also ultimately passed to the public. Seems like it ends up in the same place, but removes an anti-vax talking point.

It is taking such an extraordinary amount of litigation to get this one guy some modicum of due process. But hundreds are already in CECOT and South Sudan, and over a million are losing TPS. There’s only so much the immigration bar can do in the face of such lawlessness from the administration.

Can you talk about the process for criminal contempt? Sounds like Judge Boasberg made a probable cause finding, but then there also needs to be a show cause hearing, referral for prosecution, and then ultimately some sort of sanctions if there’s a finding of contempt that’s not purged?
