An Army vet heading to the VA took a wrong turn—and was detained by Marines in LA. While they acted professionally, their detaining him was likely illegal under the Posse Comitatus Act. It’s another line being crossed—and it puts our Marines in a bad spot. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy.
The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.
Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.
They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

To make matters even worse, the Court vacated the TROs based upon a close-to-frivolous substantive argument that's inconsistent w/a binding SCOTUS precedent (Pedreiro) the Court doesn't so much as mention. (See Point 2 & the FN of the post below.) Augurs ill.

Pretty amazing for a recusal motion to suggest it is trying to avoid “any suggestion of impartiality” - surely an all time fail of a typo
DOJ just moved to DQ Judge Beryl Howell in Perkins Coie case because she was mean to Trump and nice to Robert Mueller and Jack Smith.

I have been a Democratic activist in NY for 45 years. I will not forget or forgive Senators who vote for cloture on this CR. This is the time to force the GOP to get rid of the filibuster. This is the time to go down fighting.
I will vote for primary opponents.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

The Latest Case Against Birthright Citizenship Is a Joke
A new op-ed from a pair of conservative legal experts only raises unflattering questions about the direction of the right's juridical scholarship.

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that *whether* acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them.
Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.
