An important step towards a free and fair 2024 #presidential #election. Inch by inch...

The Federalist Society has spent decades in the shadows remaking the courts to deny personal liberties, but now hate that people know what they've done. James Ho Cancel Cultures Yale Law FedSoc Because Other Students Are Mean To Yale Law FedSoc Students abovethelaw.com/2022/09/james-…

An esteemed leader at the US Army War College speaks out about the dangers to #democracy from #candidates who support the #BigLie rather than free & fair #elecitions: I taught at the U.S. Army War College: Two students I would not vote for | Opinion pennlive.com/opinion/2022/1…

A terrific interview! Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ offered the most important words of all in his interview with Lawrence O'Donnell O'Donnell: he offered hope that an indictment against #Trump by the ever-thorough #attorneygeneral would actually be a key step in healing this battered, exhausted nation.

Grateful to our team that prepared this #ethics #complaint & to the many #legal luminaries who signed & care deeply about #democracy, e.g. Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ Ellen yaroshefsky @ngertner. See: Lawyers Group Asks Court to Punish an Author of Trump Electors Scheme nytimes.com/2022/10/12/us/…

We must pay attention to the parallels in #history and cannot become numb to the ceaseless barrage of #lawlessness that defines so much of the #FormerPresident's words & actions. The Munich Model for Trump’s National Security Extortion  thebulwark.com/the-munich-mod… via The Bulwark

It is a gross insult to Americans that a #SupremeCourt #Justice can act contrary to laws and policies applicable to every other #federal #judge without consequence. We express our outrage, & #ChiefJustice Roberts does nothing. This is a recipe for subverting the Rule of Law.

Look at these potential charges for the attack against #Speaker Polosi's husband, and then help us understand why there is not an outcry from every elected official in the country. See: Assaulting a Federal Official's Family Member, by Joyce Alene open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

News outlets have an obligation to use plain English to protect #truth. The lies about the #attack on Mr. #Pelosi are not #ConspiracyTheories; they are simply lies. The assault is the foreseeable outcome of leaders who stoke rage. Please see our take: ldad.org/intimidation-i…

Thanks to our colleagues for this article on Bloomberg Law. The #Judicial selection process demands greater scrutiny at the #state and #federal level. See: Federalist Society’s Influence on Courts Is Bad for #Democracy news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/fe…

“Trump hears the heavy footfall of the constable closing in behind him. He can’t stay still. He has to run.” One other reason: to prove his imitators were doomed from the start; they lost not because of him but because he alone is MAGA thebulwark.com/the-real-reaso… via The Bulwark

We applaud Sen. Whitehouse & others who seek an investigation of Justice Thomas, but this should be bipartisan. Confidence in the Supreme Court is sinking - a danger to democracy. See: Democratic lawmakers urge SCOTUS probe into Thomas over alleged gifts axios.com/2023/04/08/dem…

This brilliant article shows the indignity of a Justice accepting a bounty unimaginable to most civil servants: Supreme Court justices have no rules. By contrast, public school teachers in Louisiana can’t accept a gift worth more than $25. slate.com/news-and-polit… via @slate

Kris Mayes is to 303 Creative as Abraham Lincoln was to Dred Scott:  Lincoln insisted the Court’s ruling was binding only on the parties before it, Dred Scott and John Sandford.  Its ruling would not become the law of the land under his presidency.  azag.gov/press-release/…
