Messaging moment: Call it the “Voter Elimination Act,” not the “SAVE Act,” when referring to the GOP’s bill that would keep millions of Americans from voting.

Always remember: The Roberts Court is ALWAYS outcome oriented and only INCIDENTALLY “rule of law” when being so is convenient.
It's never "doing the right thing."
(From March 2025) www.weekendreading.net/p/the-courts...
Legal normies and the left have to stop flattering themselves that Roberts ever does anything they like to gain credibility with them for something worse he plans to do. When it happens, it's only a collateral benefit.

Roberts Court Decoder Ring:
When it comes to corporations or the Epstein Class:
Rule of law for me; rule by law for thee
Stop keeping score by Trump’s W/L, but by the W/L record of those who spent billions to capture the court. You don’t need to be a ConLaw professor; just look out the window.
Must be nice to live in a country where no one is above the law.
Tune in now!
You know what day it is!

Essential reading for those who understand that having something repeated frequently does not constitute evidence.

We are well into a war of Southern aggression — a neo-Confederate project to remake the entire country in its own image and win the war the South never conceded.

Some great insights on why Taylor Rehmet won in Texas (hint: it wasn't "moderation") and much more in this chat with @gelliottmorris.com

Like too many things these days, being willing to say what is true happens long past when it would have really mattered.

Today's Amicus (and the piece it covers) should be required listening/reading for anyone still messaging "no one is above the law" or reflexively wound up that what the Trump regime is doing is "illegal! or "unconstitutional!"

4/ Renee Good and Alex Pretti smeared as domestic terrorists? A function of the counter-insurgency techniques and mentality from abroad being used at home.
They also, sadly, join a long line of law abiding citizens murdered by police or vigilantes for daring to stand up for justice.
3/ DEI attacks? These don’t just have rhetorical appeal—they have instrumental value as a cover for the wholesale purge of the leaders in the military, federal law enforcement, federal government, and civil society institutions that the regime believes most likely to stand up to it.
2/ FBI and DOJ purges? Anyone who prosecuted Trump is presumed just as corrupt as we’d see anyone who let Eric Adams off the hook.
Attacks on elected Dems? Those Dems aren’t seen as legit public servants; their victories were invalid because they were elected by people who aren’t white Christians.
1/ Let’s consider the actions of the Trump regime that make no sense if the objective is winning elections, but make all the sense in the world if the objective is the MAGA reconstruction of the rest of America.
J6 pardons? Of course; if the election really had been stolen, they’d be patriots.
The Neo-Confederate States are the “laboratories of autocracy” that set the stage for the Trump regime.
As this chart shows, most of his authoritarian, Christian nationalist actions had precedent in Neo-Confederate legislatures, having either been enabled or facilitated by the Roberts Court.
There is a geographically distinct “nation” within the American nation—the Neo-Confederate States—that refuses to accept the legitimacy of the US as a pluralistic democracy.
The invasion of Minnesota is the latest maneuver in that nation’s efforts to “reconstruct” the North by force.
We can't think for a second that this won't happen in another American city, or that this will all go away when Trump does or the media moves on.

among other things, a useful way to explain why the Trumpists and their allied judges just pretend the 14th and 15th amendments aren't real
