It has gone from a great summer to confirm a new Justice to a terrible one. Might not be able to clear committee, much less pass on the floor.

BREAKING: Judge Carro just ruled the McDonald's backpack search ILLEGAL in the Luigi Mangione case: "There wasn't a search warrant at that time." "So it's the bullet magazine his cell phone, his passport, his wallet, and a computer chip will not be allowed into evidence." The firearm will be allowed into evidence since authorities found it while taking inventory after arriving to the police station.

JOINT STATEMENT: Stanford Vandalism Trial Decision Risks Dangerous Precedent, Creating Double Standard for Jewish Public Officials -JCRC Bay Area & Jewish Silicon Valley- We are deeply troubled by Judge Kelley Paul’s decision in People v. Gonzalez to disqualify District Attorney Jeff Rosen and his team from prosecuting the defendants allegedly responsible for the politically motivated destruction of the executive offices of the university president and provost at Stanford. Without issuing a written ruling, the court has set a disturbing precedent that appears to impose a different standard on Jewish public officials. This ruling has also validated the defense and their supporters' ongoing campaign to smear one of our state’s highest-ranking Jewish officials. This decision uniquely targets minority prosecutors, suggesting they are incapable of pursuing justice in cases perceived to be impacting their own communities. We must reject this double standard, which undermines the ability of all public servants to stand against hate without fear of professional disqualification. Generations of American Jews in positions of public trust have all too often been treated as suspect or inherently conflicted. This decision risks reinforcing longstanding antisemitic prejudices and invites future defendants to weaponize a prosecutor’s identity against them, casting any public opposition to hate as grounds for disqualification. Allowing such a ruling to stand would weaken a vital safeguard for our justice system and we urge the Attorney General to appeal. The case against the defendants must proceed. Anything less would undermine the fundamental principles of equal justice and impartiality under the law.

A question we will hear A LOT in the coming days >> Why didn't VA Dems vote on the redistricting amendment before early voting began on 9/21 for the 2025 elections? Why did they wait until 10/31? Would that have stopped SCOVA from invalidating the referendum?

The best argument re: Virginia decision I’ve heard is this:

🚨NEW: DOJ has opened a federal civil rights investigation into Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano over allegations his office gave preferential treatment to illegal immigrant defendants in plea deals, charging decisions, and sentencing policies. DOJ’s Civil Rights Division says it will examine whether U.S. citizens were discriminated against under Descano’s policies. “Under my leadership, the Civil Rights Division will not allow local prosecutors to pick and choose winners based on their immigration status,” Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon said.

I can't tell if Sarah Isgur is just playing stupid about not understanding Louisiana's sovereignty argument about how doctors in another state mailing abortion pills to Louisiana subverts its abortion ban, or if she doesn't understand it because she actually is stupid.
