Balls & Strikes

"What’s 'wrong' for Trump is the idea that a Black and Muslim woman he deems inferior could come to the United States and be granted rights as his equal."

The fact that Trump decided NOT to livestream an execution does not mean that the Supreme Court would have done anything to stop him

Look at these pathetic losers

If Alito and Thomas were literally getting paid by Trump to vote how he wants in Supreme Court cases, what would they be doing differently

The conservative justices are once again aiming to make schools whiter

We are running out of ways to convey to you that "originalism" is intellectually bankrupt horseshit

Attempts to denaturalize citizens were relatively rare. Then Trump got elected

The only "heritage not hate" guy in the greater Philly area

Spare a thought for James Ho (it doesn't have to be a good one, to be clear)

Look at this zero-charisma dweeb

Trump believes he should be the only one who gets to decide who is an American

Whenever a legal argument goes too far for the other conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are right there to encourage activists to try again soon.

Trump's closing message to voters: We are gonna come to your house and arrest you if you try to vote

The conservative legal movement was never going to stop with affirmative action

If Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito were working as lawyers for the Trump administration, what would they be doing differently

You can blame the White House's interest in livestreaming an execution on a Supreme Court that has made clear that when it comes to capital punishment, the government can do just about anything it wants

The Supreme Court has spent decades making clear that when it comes to capital punishment, the government can do what it wants

Nothing upsets conservative activist lawyers quite like the presence of Black children in schools

The White House's plan to livestream the Ford Hood shooter's execution was barbaric. The Supreme Court totally would have let them do it

The conservative legal movement is laser-focused on the most urgent problem in American society today: too many Black and Hispanic children in magnet middle schools in the D.C. suburbs

Conservative judges can't stop (sorry) whitewashing the history of originalism

We regret to inform you that the conservative justices are once again looking for ways to keep Black kids out of public schools

We regret to inform you that Clarence Thomas is doing liviing constitutionalism again

Couldn't happen to a worse guy, honestly

Alito's contention that Brown v. Board was an originalist decision would be news to the guys who created originalism specifically because they were angry about Brown v. Board

The conservative justices believe very strongly in the rightness of textualism, unless textualism would cost corporations money, in which case they can be flexible with it

Would someone who loves and cares about James Ho please let him know it's gonna be OK

Sam Alito is whitewashing the racist history of originalism again

Six years sucking up to Trump at every opportunity, all for nothing

James Ho appears to be Going Through It right now

Maybe the Supreme Court's war on agency deference DOES have some limits

Funny how people don't like reactionary institutions that take rights away!!

Anti-abortion activists are taking a big hint from the Supreme Court's expansive First Amendment jurisprudence

The typo has been brought to our attention. We are standing by it.

Finally, a form of agency deference that (most of) the conservative justices are willing to tolerate

Democrats don't need to tiptoe around meaningful Supreme Court reform anymore

The conservative legal movement’s newest weapon in its war on reproductive autonomy: the First Amendment.

Please do not listen to this man's bullshit

Another rejected Scalia argument is coming back under Trump

Congress can stop the Supreme Court from doing what it did to Christa Pike

"Scalia's reasoning fits squarely with the conservative logic that wildlife is only valuable to the extent that it is economically beneficial, and that industry should not be punished for harming wildlife just because that wildlife is in the way of profit."

Please do not listen when the author of the opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade tells you that a landmark Supreme Court precedent is safe

Stop us if you've heard this before: A Scalia theory the Supreme Court rejected is making a comeback with the Trump White House

Alito doesn't need to cast a vote to overturn Obergefell. He's already shown conservative activists how to keep chipping away at it

If the Supreme Court's "power lies in its legitimacy," the Court forfeited both in its handling of Christa Pike's case, Congress should respond accordingly

Sam Alito's assurances that Obergefell is safe are sort of undermined by the last five decades of the conservative legal movement

The Supreme Court could effectively decide whether ANYONE has the power to do something about climate change

Congress should strip the Supreme Court of its power to do what the justices did to Christa Pike

If you subscribe to Balls & Strikes, you will make Sam Alito feel angry and upset

There are few friendlier places for oil companies than the United States Supreme Court
