Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Maybe I’m projecting, but sounds to me like a clerk saw this in the transcript and got pissed off.

In fact I have a hunch.

Honestly, it’s probably findeoutable from public information. Let’s start shunning ASAP.

I’ll say this ahead of the midterms—the more wedges driven between centrist dems in congress and the progressive dem base, the better!

But maybe you don’t want to create an opening for people to be charged multiple times for what is essentially one statement.

Idk this argument (albeit an alternative one) is maybe a little too cute for me. The substantive meaning of what he was affirming was clear.

This is far from the point, but it makes me so angry how easy it is to get stand-up experience as a junior lawyer if you're willing to sell your soul.

Like seriously he was supposed to call her his “second cousin once removed”???

Normalize more of this in legal filings!

Who among us

Of course it's a dissental.

Botstein has always been so incredible! I toured but did not attend Bard and he really left an impression. Not surprised he’s meeting the moment!

In River North no less!

Seems like a really fast en banc vote for such a large court.

Woah. How did the notes get published?

I snorted

And he doesn’t even know how to use an apostrophe

it makes me incandescently furious that roberts invented the idea of banning coercive conditions on funding to kill medicaid expansion and refuses to do a single thing about the fact that the trump administration's entire deal is "coercive conditions on funding"

How is “not completely“ correct?

I would be interested in other examples of epistoleric judicial opinions!

But “dissent regarding the denial of en banc rehearing” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue!

If this “admission” was so devastating, why not repeat it in the letter?

Literally around the corner from a Shinola

If he's going to outsource it to Elon Musk, perhaps they do.

Perhaps he doesn’t actually want to argue the merits…

And you don’t go to the Tennessee SG’s office unless you are personally invested in a very specific political project.

They quote Lindsey Graham, Susie Wiles, and Roger Stone?!

This is so real. If a reformed Court is to have any long-term efficacy in unwinding what the Roberts Court has done, it must be willing to say that these cases were wrongly decided and explicitly reject textualist and originalist formalism. IDK if mainstream jurists are ready for that.

Unless I am missing something, I don't think this article is by Ezra Klein, but by Ezekiel Kweku instead.
