148. Suspending Habeas Corpus
In response to adverse rulings in numerous immigration cases, Stephen Miller is raising the specter of suspending habeas. His argument is factually and legally nuts, but it's worth explaining *why.*

Via "One First," me on why Stephen Miller's riff on suspending habeas corpus is not just factually and legally wrong (in multiple respects), but reflects a dangerous escalation in the Trump administration's rhetorical attacks on the courts:

J. Harvie Wilkinson is both a brilliant judge and a superb human being. If he had been just a few years younger, he would likely have been on the Supreme Court instead of Sam Alito. The country, and the judiciary, would be a much better place.
INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

How a Judge Tells a President to F**k Off
I read a lot of court documents, and I like to highlight some from time to time that really encapsulate the moment we find ourselves in. The latest from the 4th Circuit does it perfectly.

The SAVE Act is a MAGA-fueled sham—fixing a problem that doesn’t exist to spread fear and block Americans from the ballot box. It’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote. This bill is about suppression, not security. I’ll be voting NO.
