Phils made some bad trades but their trade of Fergie is likely the worst.

Thanks to @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social for highlighting this ridiculous under-the-radar SCOTUS decision from yesterday.

What's the evidence that most Americans want Trump criminally charged with treason? I hadn't seen that.

Trump is not a Twain follower:

“Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.”

I do this in briefs all the time, Raffi:

"Hey judge. I don’t have the time or space or patience to fully write about this here. So, listen up. I’m going to write a brief next week on the topic. Just check that out.”

Really?

Thanks for sending this around, Aliza

I cannot think of a reason that an older judge would be less likely to issue a clear and urgent opinion than would a younger one.

What a steal.

Good article. The author begins by saying she's gonna be attending her 50th Bruce concert soon. Good for her. I tooled around for tickets a few days ago, checking out many tour venues. Even the cheapest seats are unaffordable for almost everyone--certainly for the people Bruce writes about.

That's unfair to Judge Garland.

May we all find the urgency and clarity of an octogenarian judge from West Virginia.

One thing to understand is that jackasses like me graduated from law school basically believing that, while nothing like <all this> was realistic in our lifetimes, if it did happen, then our Supreme Court with all its flaws would respond roughly like this judge did, maybe 9-0.

I'm surprised at the amount.

Laughing in this setting?

I hit a HR at age 18 (and younger too).

When Trump was running in 2016, what was the policy of the Democratic Party on immigration? Many Dem candidates said (and to this day say) that they favor "comprehensive immigration reform." But I don't recall any of them saying in detail what that entails.

Yes, because it made no sense. I googled a bit when the PW capitulation was occurring, and it looked like PW's profits per equity partner were about 8 or 9 million a year.

I heard something about that.

Letter announcing Liz Magill as new dean of Georgetown Law School

BREAKING:

Former UPenn president Liz Magill -- dismissed in late 2023 after congressional testimony -- was just hired as dean of Georgetown's Law School

Jellybean!

Reggie Jackson probably

Yes, I know.

Does the document go into further detail, for instance as to the racial epithets?

Note the edit to Judge Wolf's wikipedia entry.

Fodder for SNL. Week-to-week series of skits in which a cabinet member is asked by a Member about real, horrific developments within their bailiwick and the cabinet member responds with stock-market data.

When Trump originally Matt Gaetz for AG I figured that was just a tactic to get everyone else through.

Yes, I couldn't understand at the time the idea that Bondi was somehow moderate.
