see, e.g., Secretary of the Commonwealth v Trump (3d Cir Nov 27, 2020), authored by the Hon. Stephanos Bibas, nominated by Trump and confirmed 53-43 -- Manchin was the only Dem in favor.

Nothing could have picked me up on this July 4th quite like seeing that Gritty played Battleship on a battleship today. www.instagram.com/p/C9APq-6RuR7/
Don't ever let someone tell you that your vote doesn't matter and can't change anything. These four races I was involved in all took place in SEPA in the past decade; there are many more all over the country, every year.
There's no longer any ceiling to how wackadoodle Republican lawsuits can go. As @elliemargolis.bsky.social has flagged, the sovereign state of Missouri, being unable to invade or embargo New York, has instead sued it before SCOTUS to try to aid Trump, because ... reasons.

In teeny-tiny election law news that only nerds like me tend to care about, until it matters, PA Commonwealth Court affirmed late yesterday in a disputed GOP state house primary that write-in votes cast for someone whose name is on the ballot DO NOT COUNT. www.pacourts.us/assets/opini...
I think we'd both agree that there's language in the middle here which suggests "the President shouldn't have to feel like he's being scrutinized, and juries shouldn't scrutinize official acts because bias," but it's bookended by language cabining this to prosecutions of a President. (For now.)
Folks, this has been a really draining political week, but @lolgop.bsky.social is right: if we can't take some measure of satisfaction and justice from the disbarment and humiliation of Rudy Giuliani by the New York courts today—note the "P.S., turn in your badge" at the end—then why care at all?
Old enough to remember what Sen. Mitch McConnell said way back in February 2021 as to why the Senate shouldn't convict Trump on January 6-related impeachment charges:
Also in the Trump immunity decision today, Justice Thomas effectively sends a note to Judge Aileen Cannon's chambers to let her know how she should dispose of the classified documents case, which is based on *post-presidential* conduct by Trump.
As Justice Sotomayor explains, today's Supreme Court decision on Trump immunity transforms America from a land of "no more Kings" to one of "no, more Kings."
While the procedural posture is complicated, and this case isn't over yet, it sure looks like the Supreme Court has affirmed that the First Amendment forbids states from enacting laws to take away a website's ability to moderate content, even if the sites are doing so for ideological reasons.
The Supreme Court today has supercharged its decision last week gutting Chevron by effectively reopening the statute of limitations to challenge *any* regulation, as Justice Jackson, dissenting, explains.
I just don't see what you're seeing. Regardless of whether I like it, the Court was clear. Individual states don't get to enforce the insurrection clause.
No, this is false. The Court recounted the Colorado Supreme Court's decision that Trump was disqualified, but in no way did the Court claim any agreement (or disagreement) with this holding.
Hi, first-time caller first-time listener, and I've probably successfully removed more candidates from election ballots than you have and I have no idea why you think this is plausible. Trump v Anderson says that states can't enforce this provision, so how is this not settled law?
