A reason why I think this ruling is so important (and stayed up to write about it) is it shows how unbounded religious freedom claims can become with the right arguments and the right judges. This doesn’t stop at abortion, it doesn’t stop at non-profits.

Republicans afraid of voters' views on abortion want to stop the voting altogether

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft went so far as to try "decertifying" a ballot measure he previously OK'ed. The state's supreme court said he lacked that power.

Labeled "Mnoday's Trash" on #CNN #trash #CNNisrightwing #CNNistrash #HarrisWalz #hatchetjob #lawdork #ChrisGeidner open.substack.com/pub/chrisgei...

In search of debate fodder, CNN pushes an anti-trans Kamala Harris hit piece

CNN turned a 2019 Harris answer about whether transgender people should receive necessary medical care when in government custody into an engagement-bait trifecta of hate.

Hey, Chris, you do great work on Lawdork and keeping us up to date on breaking news. But what I’m suggesting here (individual-level loan modifications) is absolutely not the SAVE Plan (a categorical change in repayment options).

Jack Smith attempts to immunity-proof his January 6 Trump indictment. Mostly.

Tuesday's superseding indictment in federal court in D.C. is the special counsel's response to July's Supreme Court ruling, which largely favored Trump.

Appeals court allows Florida law restricting trans adults' medical care to go into effect

The 2-1 ruling from the Eleventh Circuit was backed by two Trump appointees. Also: Special Counsel Jack Smith is happy to be out of Judge Aileen Cannon's court.

This past week highlighted just how dangerous SCOTUS is on voting cases

Five conservatives allowed last-minute voting changes. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch would have allowed Arizona to enforce restrictions that clearly conflict with federal law.

What Kamala Harris could — and should — say about the courts tonight

The federal judiciary is broken, and the country cannot afford another four years of Trump judicial appointees being added to the courts. Harris should say so.

I'm an old, so I visit the blogs of Balloon Juice and Little Green Footballs. I also subscribe to the substacks run by Jay Kuo, Heather Cox Richardson, Melissa Kabas and Lawdork. I think you have to shop around to find the right tenor of challenging viewpoints and confirmational bias.
