kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.

Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?
Kavanaugh in a footnote in today's opinion says "the officers must not make interior immigration stops or arrests based on race or ethnicity."

lmao
In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt.

He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”

Worth repeating this with every new Epstein document drop. The party of Denny Hastert is the party of Jim Jordan is the party of Matt Gaetz is the party of Donald Trump. Looking the other way and protecting child predators from the law is their brand.

Kagan's line of questioning here was pretty much Gorsuch's music to invoke the nondelegation doctrine, which he then jumped in and did.

Remember: this case isn't about making Trump king. This case is part of FedSoc's generational project to destroy the fed gov't's regulatory power.
Kagan: formal arguments should not blind us to the real-world realities of what our decisions do.

When we place all these agencies under complete presidential control...we are left with "a president with control over everything, including over much of the law-making" in this country.

Kavanaugh pretty much just said this out loud
The practical effect of overturning Humphrey’s will be that Republican presidents can stack the formerly independent agencies with their copartisans and SCOTUS will be cool with everything they do but when a Dem POTUS does the same Roberts et al will declare all those agencies’ actions unlawful.
In a memo John Roberts wrote just 4 yrs out of law school, he said the “time may be ripe to reconsider the existence” of independent agencies & bring them back into the executive branch. Now he’s poised to end what he has long called “a constitutional anomaly.”

Here’s the fix: win simple majorities, eliminate antidemocratic impediments to passing laws that help everyone, pass laws that help everyone, eliminate antidemocratic impediments to enacting transformative laws that help everyone. Congress leads, executive follows, SCOTUS defers—or gets reformed.

This one paragraph’s assumption that the Roberts Court would show the same deference to a new Dem Admin as it does for Trump is the entire essay’s load-bearing pillar, and boy oh boy it collapses upon the slightest touch

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.

See, I told you. I TOLD YOU that the freaking filibuster is why the Democrats caved in and gave Republicans everything they wanted!

Democrats sold out the country for an institutional privilege that doesn't even help them.
Heaven forbid the Republicans get rid of the filibuster…
