The Roberts Court is a weapon forged against the Constitution as written and amended, especially but not exclusively the Reconstruction Amendments, and either the amendments are legitimate or the court is but they both can't be. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/u...

Meanwhile, here's part of the amicus brief from the military brass also filed today in the same case, in support of neither party, but definitely not in support of Trump.
Our experience as military leaders has taught us that this commitment keeps our military stronger and our communities safer. Any domestic deployment that fails to comply with the foundational principles of the Posse Comitatus Act and similar authorities5 poses multiple risks to the core mission of the Guard, the well-being of the troops, and the safety of the communities they are committed to protect. First, deploying military personnel in the context of domestic law enforcement diverts them from their primary mission, which is to train and to be ready to fight and win the nation’s wars and protect communities after disasters. Accordingly, such assignments come at the expense of local, state, and national safety, as well as troop morale. Second, activeduty National Guard personnel are neither intended nor specifically trained to conduct domestic law enforcement operations. This poses a danger to the safety of both the troops and the public. Third, use of federal military personnel in the context of law enforcement operations should be a last resort to avoid the politicization of the military, which inevitably erodes public trust, hurts recruitment, and undermines troop morale. Peaceful protests of government actions are constitutionally protected political speech deserving of the highest protection, not intimidation by the military

A job isn’t enough to afford housing for many Oklahomans - Oklahoma Policy Institute
State leaders often say the answer to housing instability is a job – but jobs don’t help if they don’t pay enough. Wages have risen at less than half the rate of rent for the last two decades, putting...
