We have always suspected the justices were on the take. And we have a republican party who knows it. That's why they won't impeach the justices.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was the Trump regime’s test case, supposed to establish their ability to grab anyone for any reason and send them anywhere, then counter any objections with lies.
Whether they planned it or not, that’s what it became. So as @gregsargent.bsky.social explains, their loss is big.

Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/

Judge Paula Xinis’s ruling temporarily freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia from custody. It also savagely indicted Trump’s lawless handling of this whole affair from start to finish.

Those sanctions on Russian oil Trump got public praise for? Never really materialized. No enforcement on Russia’s customers.
As critics warned, the Trump admin pressures Ukraine but never puts real pressure on Russia, especially not if it requires effort.
Because they’d like to see Russia succeed.

Just sent out this piece. The whole idea that Trump's sanctions on Russian oil were meant to hurt Putin is collapsing on all fronts. Indian and Chinese purchases are up and there are no secondary sanctions to be found. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Add to this that HSI just filed a declaration in our case challenging these policies saying they can’t trust REAL IDs as proof of status.
So showing your papers isn’t even enough to end the stop.
