I'm not a lawyer, but I aspire to be. As such, I read a lot of opinions for personal edification. I've never read anything like that garbage he put out.

When will the media conclude that it isn't a credible exercise of power for any federal court to uphold the actions of this criminal administration?

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

Trump’s Scheme to Gift the GOP Extra House Seats Just Blew Up in His Face The opinion, written by a Trump appointee, cites Chief Justice John Roberts right up top.

Trump appointed Harmeet Dhillon to the Justice Department so she could own the libs and sue DEI out of existence. But she is a bad lawyer! And her utter incompetence is the main reason why a conservative Trump judge just struck down the racist Texas gerrymander. slate.com/news-and-pol...

What this also shows is that there is no legitimate reason to strike down the remainder of the Voting Rights Act and every reason to uphold it. This case gives chapter and verse as to why. Remember this day if SCOTUS strikes it down.

The Trump-appointed Judge uses a John Roberts quote to anchor his opinion that the Texas Map is a racial gerrymander. "The way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race." My Gawd today!!!!
