From Robert Hubbell: “As noted by Business Insider, Mitt Romney never recovered from a story about transporting his dog in a cage tied to the top of the family station wagon. There is no coming back from killing a puppy at point-blank range—even in Trumpworld.” Bye-bye, Kristi Noem!

Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ Indeed. In addition, attention should be paid the far-right figures and dictators uniting globally. Hungary’s Orban was just at Trump's Mar-a-Lago. And now, China's premier Xi, undoubtedly another autocrat, is about to visit Orban in Hungary. Autocrats are uniting on a global…

“One indicator that an authoritarian coup might succeed is a prior attempt, which in retrospect would look like a dress rehearsal for the main event. State and federal prosecutors therefore must take every opportunity to make sure 2020 is the last, not the first, attempted coup…

Trumpers think we are stupid. This is MarkWayne Mullins cowering during the J6 attack. Tourist visit, my ass.

This is how old the fuck face Donald Trump looks now. He really looks like shit. His brain isn’t working and he mumbles garbage most of the time. He has zero ability to lead the nation! #Trump2024NowMorethanEver #TrumpIsNotFitToBePresident

From the party claiming to be #ProLife and family values, meet Kristi Noem, the dog assassin.

Steve Vladeck explains clearly why the game of writing an immunity rule “for the ages” is a game the Court can win only one way: BY NOT PLAYING!

Chief Justice Roberts can avert disaster only by following his own advice: decide no more than is needed to resolve this one case.

“To this point in American history, Trump is, fortunately, a class of one. The more that the Court tries to hand down a ruling that doesn’t reflect that fact (or that reflects it only through a fractured and fractious disposition), the more that it will be making an error for the…

“However long it takes them to do it, any forward-looking line that the justices draw will necessarily identify conduct that future presidents can engage in without any fear of criminal prosecution. Given how difficult a successful impeachment would be in our contemporary…

“In 2004, a relatively unknown D.C. Circuit judge named John Roberts summarized the ‘cardinal principle of judicial restraint’: “‘If it is not necessary to decide more, it is necessary not to decide more.’ Here, if a majority of the Court believes that the January 6-related…

Did anyone notice what Trump’s lawyer identified as the textual source of the novel immunity he claimed? It was the Art II vesting of executive power in the president for a 4-year term! But that’s the very clause Trump’s attempted coup sought to shred! His argument is absurd.

'So I'm a constitutional law professor,' Kate Shaw explained. 'I have never taught my students about the doctrine of the criminal immunity of ex-presidents from prosecution, even for official acts. And that’s for the simple reason that there is no such doctrine.”

This isn’t hyperbole. It’s not exaggeration. If anything, it’s understatement.

“The rapid and overwhelming use of force seems disproportionate to nonviolent student protest. It has further inflamed the already difficult dialogues that have animated many campuses this year—about Israel and Palestine, academic freedom, and where one person’s right to…

“What Alito did is essentially say: ‘I’m living in MAGA world.’ Which views this case as a totally bogus prosecution ginned up by totally bogus people as part of a vindictive prosecution by Joe Biden. And Alito is also implicitly saying that if Donald Trump gets reelected, you…

Can you imagine a real judge asking a question this dumb (spoiler alert: Alito did ask it):

“If an incumbent who loses a very close, hotly contested election knows that a real possibility after leaving office is …that the president may be criminally prosecuted by a bitter…

What a splendid chart, Asha Rangappa it’s easy to follow even for the unschooled and smartly constructed even for experts. Well done!
