I *just* saw the headline a second ago and thought “wha?”

Judge Jerry Smith’s Soros-Fueled Tantrum Is The Wildest Thing You’ll Read This Week - Above the Law The Fifth Circuit’s crankiest uncle delivers a 104-page scream into the void over Texas redistricting.

Judge Smith went wild in his latest dissent.

Shorter John Roberts: 'State Legislatures Don't Control Elections... John Roberts Controls Elections' - Above the Law Dr. Votingrights or: How John Roberts Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Deciding Election Law Cases.

I talked about it a bit after Moore. He’s willing to take individual Ls to consolidate more power.

I’ll add that whenever Roberts breaks ranks — especially on voting — it’s always about setting a new standard to amass more authority that solidifies him as the ultimate arbiter.

Kristi Noem sits on a horse wearing a cowboy hat. In the background is Mount Rushmore.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

Why the fuck is this framed as “teenager chose to prostitute herself and ruined the career of innocent congressman”

Justice Breyer takes some criticism for his general air of optimism about the state of the Supreme Court (and everything), but that misunderstands role he’s playing in the present crisis.

Trump Judges 'Dominate' Biden Judges In Performance Says Study Confusing Narcissism With Merit - Above the Law Being the loudest loudmouth at the end of the bar... but as a measure of judicial excellence!

In a new measure of judicial performance, Trump judges “dominate” Biden judges… except the study doesn’t prove that at all.

Kim Kardashian Failed Bar After Psychics PROMISED She'd Pass - Above the Law Too bad she can't sue them herself.

I loved this piece from @abovethelaw.com on Kardashian failing the bar because it makes the two essential points:
A: it’s fucking hubris for her to try this without going to law school.
B: She doesn’t NEED to pass the stupid thing to do her good works

Why does Elon Musk love this socialist sci-fi series? The broligarchs share a favorite author, but they might be missing the point entirely.

This reminds me that he actually does talk about books… they’re just books he clearly misunderstands
