@Ejmiller25 Cringe

he's right

@Danielsrotaryo1 @thefactualprep They face military law because they're a restlessly violent population whom Israel tried to give independence and in exchange got attacked even more.

@thefactualprep Palestinians face military law; Israelis face civil law. Yes, that is an imbalance.

homeboy below was on a democratic establishment podcast, like last week, spewing garbage lies about israel.

@poorlyreasoned Yeah and it probably helped him post Assad margins with Democratic voters in Brooklyn

@EWess92 @HabCorpLinguist @mike_frags A judge by definition cannot push back against judicial supremacy. Only other actors can.

@HabCorpLinguist @mike_frags Judicial supremacy is a real analytic flaw unfortunately all too common to the judiciary. Fortunately, many good judges push back. It just takes a while to percolate.

This is the predominant view, but I disagree. Congress can strip jurisdiction in the sense that the courts can't grant affirmative remedies, like injunctions. But it can't stop the courts from refusing to apply the law on the grounds it's unconstitutional.

@ErasmusBHarry @MachoCamacho456 @VecchTweets The position that the ERA is part of the constitution is about as serious as John Eastman's position that the outgoing vice president gets to choose the next president

@MachoCamacho456 @VecchTweets Is this because you’re surprised that groups of lawyers would disagree about the law? Yes, that must indeed be shocking.

How can this organization certify law schools? This is twitter level lawyering.

@Faj1791 @Timodc @KenPaxtonTX He's not smarter actually

@Timodc @KenPaxtonTX Tim this is an old poll that was proven to be dog shit. You're smarter than this.

Interesting data from Blueprint. A Trump endorsement of Cornyn barely impacts the race. Basline is 48 @KenPaxtonTX / 36 Cornyn. After Trump endorsement of Cornyn it's 44 Paxton / 37 Cornyn. After Trump endorsement of Paxton it's 56 Paxton / 28 Cornyn. cdn.prod.website-files.com/6931cd6da26b55…

@TacticalSnail @Realglobalpol2 @VoteHub @TheAtlantic @politico @LeaderJohnThune Cornyn sucks ass but it's not like he's going to be the difference-maker between legislation passing or failing. Nothing is happening even if you get Paxton.

@GreenPastelRed @Realglobalpol2 @VoteHub @TheAtlantic @politico @LeaderJohnThune The alternative is Cornyn which is worse.

Donald Trump is expected to endorse Sen. John Cornyn, according to @TheAtlantic. The move reportedly comes at the urging of Senate GOP Leader John Thune, per @politico.

@TacticalSnail @Realglobalpol2 @VoteHub @TheAtlantic @politico @LeaderJohnThune Why would we run a guy with bribery and adultery scandals in an off year? It's retarded

@GreenPastelRed @Realglobalpol2 @VoteHub @TheAtlantic @politico @LeaderJohnThune They will vote for whoever they are told to.

@TacticalSnail @Realglobalpol2 @VoteHub @TheAtlantic @politico @LeaderJohnThune Normies will absolutely vote for cornyn. Online MAGAtards aren't a bigger group than suburban idiots

@Realglobalpol2 @VoteHub @TheAtlantic @politico @LeaderJohnThune Paxton beats Talarico hands down. Look how many times he's been elected here. Texas is a knife fight right now and we're only hiring sons of bitches. Cornyn struggles because actual Texans wont go to the polls for him. The normies will break for whoever Trump endorses.

@HAD4685 @earlyvotedata The save act isn’t being passed either way because we’re losing the house

@earlyvotedata Cornyn winning is a better for the Republican Party in the very short term him losing means he is unlikely to help pass the save act

I'll make a prediction on the Republican Runoff: Trump endorses Cornyn.

@alcadizzar19 @shipwreckedcrew They think that because for whatever reason the elites in both parties (Trump included) are 100% committed to judicial dictatorship

@shipwreckedcrew Judges believe they run a kritarchy. They wouldn’t say that in that way, but it’s obviously what they think.

There is an easy solution for this: The AG removes the powers of arrest from any Dep. U.S. Marshal who acts to enforce any judicial order of criminal contempt. This is a clash of two BRANCHES of the Federal Government over enforcement of the law. The idea that one BRANCH can coerce via imprisonment another BRANCH to alter its position begs for this kind of confrontation. The Judicial BRANCH does not have law "enforcement" powers. They should not invite a clash with the BRANCH that has those powers. How would the Judicial BRANCH react to a PC arrest -- no judge needed -- of a federal judge for "obstruction" of law enforcement in the form of a court "order" that law enforcement act in a certain way?

The argument then has to become that the judiciary is special because it is structurally the least suited to abuse of power, and thus it makes sense to treat its rulings as supreme over the other branches. That may have been true for 2.5 centuries.

This only works if you assume as a premise that a court cannot violate the constitution; that a judicial ruling is by definition the law. But if that's the case, then you could just as easily attribute the same power to federal law or an executive order.

@BiggieBozo47 @TonerousHyus @PollTracker2024 These are primary voters lol

@TonerousHyus @PollTracker2024 Care to explain why? She just lost wide swaths of Latinos and Independents in the 24’ election. And Kamala preformed worse in Texas than both Biden and Hillary. Fucking moron, maybe respond with substance next time.

Texas Tribune: Kamala Harris makes last-minute pitch for Jasmine Crockett with robocall The call gives Crockett a jolt of support from one of her party’s biggest stars in the home stretch of her Senate Democratic primary against state Rep. James Talarico. texastribune.org/2026/02/27/kam…

@DianeMcKenna22 @kyledcheney What happens when they do that and nothing happens? The whole paper tiger collapses.

@kyledcheney They should stop threatening to hold them in contempt and do it already because this administration is daring them to do so.

NEW: Minnesota's top federal judge is threatening to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt if they continue defying court orders in immigration cases. "One way or another, ICE will comply." politico.com/news/2026/02/2…

@JTAlexander_ @bumbadum14 The idea Trump only nominated conservative judges due to the right-wing legal movement is idiotic. Also, that same movement picked 3 judges all of whom are worse in various ways than two judges he didn't pick.

@bumbadum14 Who do you think makes the lists of nominees for him man? Do you think Trump is personally out here reading Court opinions to find good candidates?

If it wasn't for rightwing lawyers, Trump wouldn't have been on the ballot in 2024, the Ninth Circuit would still be an leftist law factory, Roe would still be law, Chevron would still be law, discrimination against Whites would still be legal at universities, COVID vaccine mandates would still be valid, Bruen wouldn't exist, and that's just off the top of my head in the past ~8 years. I understand that decades of GOP ineptitude have frustrated y'all. I understand that you feel the Courts move too slowly and are not always right. I understand that COVID burned everyone's trust in professionals of any kind. But this is infantile. It is whining for its own sake about a profession you don't even understand. Rightwing legal movements are the only ones accomplishing anything at all outside of Trump himself, and Trump's alliance with key rightwing legal movements is a massive element of his success and a massive element of their success. Where were the oil workers during the COVID vax mandates? Taking the shots and getting back to work. Where were the truckers during the COVID vax mandates? They took their specific exemption bribe and left you all to dry. Where were the steelworkers? The miners? The carpenters and contractors? Sheepishly complying or trying to find work that was exempt. Where were the lawyers? In Court, fighting to protect your freedom from compulsive participation in medical experiments. There is not a single class in America that has accomplished more for the American people in the past decade than rightwing lawyers. If you feel like they aren't doing enough, go to law school and get into the fight yourself.

@SJonNantucket @varadmehta @KurtSchlichter This won't happen. The way this ends is the president ignores a particularly outrageous ruling, the courts are powerless to do anything about it, and then they change their behavior to try to rebuild the lost norm.

@varadmehta @KurtSchlichter Strip district judges of the the jurisdiction to review federal laws, executive orders and federal operations might be necessary. Increase the number of appellate judges and have the appellate courts hear those cases. Largely leave districts judges with torts and criminal cases

Once again, it's time to start envisioning what the post-Article III constitutional order looks like, because we're going to be living in it sooner than later.

@EdWhelanEPPC @chad_mizelle "2. If someone chose to vote for Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024 and remains content to have done so, is that person excluded from your category of "patriots"?" yeah obviously

Sorry to have missed this, @chad_mizelle. Let's see if we can flesh out what you mean. 1. Candidate A and Candidate B are identical, with one exception: Candidate A commits to enforce the prosecutorial agenda of whoever is president. Candidate B commits to enforce Trump's prosecutorial agenda but says he won't enforce the agenda of a Democratic president. Who earns your recommendation? 2. If someone chose to vote for Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024 and remains content to have done so, is that person excluded from your category of "patriots"? 3. Do you believe that the vesting of executive power in the president renders civil-service laws unconstitutional?

@JimmyMidyette @EdWhelanEPPC @shipwreckedcrew "No unguarded speaking about the issues of the day." have you seen the decisions they write

@EdWhelanEPPC @shipwreckedcrew This is one reason I never aspired to the judiciary. You can’t attend political speeches. No donating to political campaigns or causes. No unguarded speaking about the issues of the day.

Freedom of Association is now an ethics violation?

@ericowensdc @BeenFarming @kirklandprice11 @dilanesper If the Supreme Court says it means something else and a critical mass of men with guns is prepared to accept that change, then that *is* what the constitution means. This is how con law and judicial supremacy have worked for 250 years.

@BeenFarming @kirklandprice11 @dilanesper Goober, honestly. All persons BORN or naturalized IN the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Do you believe illegal immigrants are not subject to U.S. laws? How do you kick them out?

since SCOTUS grantrd cert on this, here's my thread on this issue. This is not a close case.
