Musk should be in prison.

My latest for SCOTUSblog, arguing how international law should be brought to bear to oppose Trump's odious attempt to deport individuals to a third county with no due process. To be argued at the Supreme Court in December: DHS v. D.V.D.: www.scotusblog.com/2026/10/when...

And these are the assholes that rant over protecting free speech. I know the First Amendment only applies to the government but these assholes are always claiming to support free speech but clamp down on those with opposing views.

It’s about time- U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Beaverstock, a federal judge in Alabama on Monday temporarily barred immigration officers from entering construction sites without a warrant and detaining workers without suspicion that they live in the country illegally. ij.org/press-releas...

ICE-Gestapo killers shot and injured a DoorDash delivery driver in Texas whilst he was doing his job. I’ll say it again, they aren’t agents, they are terrorists.

Boycott Google, as it shamelessly panders to that idiotic vulgar slob.

This confirms exactly what we already knew. They were lying this whole time. Rather than put it in writing that the slush fund and the IRS Audit won't ever happen, he's pulling Blanche's nomination instead.

Considering how badly Covid was mishandled, they're probably going to regret the decision to make Fauci's personal diary and journal public. We're going to see how it was handled from the insider, from Fauci's point of view... based on you know...science.

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

Further post-mortem on the Supreme Court's past Term. Decades ago I warned that fake news originalism would be weaponized to creat a dangerous unitary executive. With Trump v. Slaughter, the Roberts Court continues to do just that. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Jack Smith: "I think we are facing an attack on the rule of law that is different in kind and scope to anything I've seen in my lifetime"

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

Very pleased to announce that I have begun writing a column for SCOTUSblog. A lot less pleased about what I have to write about: www.scotusblog.com/2026/07/aidi...

As bad as the decision in Trump v. Slaughter, which gives the President yet more unchecked power, even worse is the rubbish history of the Founding to justify it.

In a slapdash opinion, the Supreme Court today closed the door on almost all human rights suits under the ATS, overruling Sosa. A reason: courts shouldn't weigh in on foreign affairs by upholding international law -- which itself is a judgment that weighs in on foreign affairs.

She's right...where's the outrage from the media, the sponsors of the event and the people that attended?
