This is *literally* what some district court judges have said in opinions! The bad things the Supreme Court is doing through the shadow docket aren’t too difficult to figure out if you take apart each piece of the legal process and describe what it is supposed to accomplish.
Big news: California, Oregon and Washington State just announced a joint "West Coast Health Alliance" to counter Trump/RFK destruction of our public health system.
As I argued last week (see below), this is becoming a new frontier in Dem Gov resistance to Trump.
I wish somebody would ask him to specifically list the "seven" or however many wars he claims to have ended and then hand him a map and ask him to show us on it where the wars were.
🚨Epstein survivor Chauntae Davies:

This is why I hate the emergence of a legal literature that undermines the plain text. The Citizenship Clause was created precisely to moot the debate. These newly fabricated theories and deeply problematic histories of citizenship were a central part of what the 14th Amendment was intended to stop.
When a professor kicks open the door and boldly claims they've learned 1,000 years of legal history in 3 months and that they have discovered something that has eluded academics for generations, it is fair to ask if it is serious historical work, and the onus is on them to answer questions.

The comments from board members are amazing:
Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.
