Callais is the latest evidence that the real problem with #SCOTUS is that it can do whatever it wants w/o any fear of pushback from Congress. The way to fix that is not by expanding the Court or imposing term limits, but by making it *accountable* again: stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-223-th…

Following SCOTUS’s abominable voting rights decision in Louisiana v. Callais, Florida’s Legislature jumped at the opportunity to discriminate with impunity and passed DeSantis’ new congressional map. Other states are now on track to pass racist Alito maps. politi.co/4eRagHS

Read my Letter to the Editor at ⁦@WSJ⁩ discrediting the favorable profile that paints Harmeet Dhillon as a rational reformer and fails to examine her egregious anti-civil rights record. As she vies to replace Pam Bondi media must get the facts right. wsj.com/opinion/harmee…

1) Today’s SCOTUS argument in Watson v. RNC on whether the longstanding practice of counting mail-in ballots sent by or before Election Day is legal failed to center the impact ending this practice would have on voters of color. LDF, @LawyersComm & others briefed this issue.

Talk about wag the dog! Nobody wants this! He doesn’t have the authority to do this. He is trying to change the subject from his age, his failure on every issue, and the Epstein files.

While dodging scrutiny of its own record, the Trump administration has not foregone criticizing human rights abuses in other countries—albeit on a selective and politicized basis, write Catherine Powell, Beth Van Schaack, and Desirée Cormier Smith. cfr.org/expert-brief/t…

#SCOTUS is now insisting that even unexplained grants of emergency relief to the Trump administration are precedents lower courts have to follow. As today’s “One First” explains, there are two equally problematic flaws with such an approach to precedent: stevevladeck.com/p/169-the-prec…
