Very cool to hear Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh spend an entire oral argument acting like they had never heard of Donald Trump, who appointed them to the Supreme Court buff.ly/3Wh5g69
"While the Court could steer clear of the most plainly absurd outcome in this case, a remand still marches the country headfirst into an antidemocratic disaster." buff.ly/3Qhvfq8
For Donald Trump, the Supreme Court slow-walking his criminal prosecution is just as good as the Supreme Court declaring him immune from it buff.ly/3Qhvfq8
It was pretty funny to listen to Sam Alito spend all of oral argument acting like January 6 didn't happen, given that Sam Alito's greatest regret is that he didn't personally participate in it ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics/s…
The conservative justices understand that the more time they spend talking about subjects that are not Donald Trump's crimes, the less attention Donald Trump's crimes get buff.ly/3Wh5g69
On the one hand, the Constitution says federal law preempts state law; on the other hand, Republicans really, really want states to be able to restrict access to abortion buff.ly/4bc9Abg
Conservative activists will just keep saying antidiscrimination laws are unnecessary because racism is over until there are no antidiscrimination laws left buff.ly/3w1PAsR
Donald Trump already got what he needed from the Supreme Court buff.ly/3Qhvfq8
For Washington Post editorial board members, the real problem with the America's ongoing housing affordability crisis is the fact that Washington Post editorial board members sometimes have to see poor people on their way to work buff.ly/3JvrUQE
Working on our coverage of this oral argument
Can Republicans pass laws that deny ER patients lifesaving medical care if lifesaving medical care is something Republicans don't like? The Supreme Court will soon answer this very tricky question! buff.ly/4bc9Abg
On a Court controlled by a six-justice conservative supermajority, once-fringe legal theories have a funny way of becoming majority opinions in a hurry buff.ly/3w1PAsR
Every abortion case the Supreme Court takes is now a lively debate about exactly how much pregnant people should have to suffer buff.ly/4bc9Abg
There is no genre of bad writing quite like newspaper opinion columnists trying to burnish their centist bona fides buff.ly/3JvrUQE
"Under the guise of deciding a series of legal cases, the Supreme Court—unelected, unaccountable actors—made a set of critical policy decisions that allow bad actors to operate with impunity, too often at the expense of women and people of color." buff.ly/3JuGibO
And yes, ADF is representing Idaho "for free." In practice, this means the right-wing activist org is pushing its own agenda at the Supreme Court using the power of a state. Idaho's AG does not like when you talk about this ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics/r… @ballsstrikes
Come, let's count all the details that the Washington Post editorial board gets wrong about Grants Pass, the big Supreme Court case that could re-empower cities to criminalize homelessness buff.ly/3JvrUQE
This a great post that explain the Supreme Court's (and the Washington Post's) attempts to make things even worse for the homeless.

Good rejoinder—I was pretty shocked by how sloppy and inaccurate this WaPo editorial was! The consistently slipshod legal dilettantism of WaPo's op-ed section may be exerting a malign influence here.

In which Brad Raffensperger shows you don’t need to help Trump illegally steal an election when your judicial partners are ready and willing to (ab-/mis)use the law to perpetuate Republican political power

Pretty blunt acknowledgement here of the Court's role as a political institution aiming to shape public opinion. So much for balls and strikes!

Thrilled to see @GuardianUS named an outlet reimagining political journalism, alongside my former employer @statesnewsroom and former colleagues' outlets @boltsmag @JuddLegum @ballsstrikes washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
Really appreciate this shoutout from @perrybaconjr to “7 news outlets reimagining political journalism in smart ways.” @TheProspect @boltsmag @ballsstrikes @HammerandHope @statesnewsroom @guardian Popular Information (@JuddLegum).
From layoffs to whatever is happening at CNN, there is lots of bad news about the news. But there are outlets listening to the critiques of political journalism and trying to do better. I wrote about some of them here. wapo.st/45rNQWM
!! @jaywillis at @ballsstrikes: legal journalism that understands "law is an inherently political act," & outcomes are "not just or desirable or legitimate simply because a person wearing a robe managed to string together a few sentences about, ‘why the law compels it.’”!!
@ballsstrikes John Roberts is not, in fact, an institutionalist who is deeply invested in maintaining the reputation of the court as being impartial and above politics, and his tenure as Chief Justice should be remembered for stripping away people’s rights and giving them to corporations.
This is becoming a Black History Month tradition: For the second February in a row, conservatives focused their racial resentment on Black members of the federal judiciary I wrote about why that is & what we should take away from that for @ballsstrikes ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/bl…
It felt a bit lonely being the only SCOTUS reporter to write a critical piece about that heartbreaking, unanimous decision against benefits for service-disabled veterans, and I'm really glad @skennedy2504 jumped in with some more damning context. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/arellan…
