  1. Robert Frommer, a senior attorney at the Institute for Justice, a public interest law firm that’s led litigation over the #tech, called the changes “window dressing” from a company in “panic mode.”

    “This is window dressing that doesn’t address the fundamental problem, which is that police officers are the ones deciding who & when to search, & that should be done by #judges with real warrants,” he said.

  3. HuffPost: Senior Trump Official Using Government Account To Smear Sitting Federal Judges. “James Percival, general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security, posted a series of messages on social media last week dubbed ‘Worst of the Worst, District Judge Edition.’ … Percival names four U.S. district judges, identifies the Democratic presidents who appointed them and condemns their […]

    'I see everyday #politicians repeat like parrots #economic propositions they don't even start to understand, defending a model that a central #bank admitted was wrong over twelve years ago. ... The #Greens propose actual structural change and get labelled "communist" by people who have never read a balance sheet or a #Lenin text. The heterodox approach #predicted #2008, predicted the #housing #crisis, and predicted the current private #debt trap. The orthodox models predicted none of it ...'

    'The orthodox model was declared wrong by the Bank of #England in 2014. Their paper “#Money Creation in the Modern Economy” stated plainly: #banks do not lend out deposited #reserves in a multiplier chain. Banks create #deposits when they make #loans ...'

    (NZ's Social Credit Party got a Court to agree five decades earlier.)

    'The consequences are not theoretical or academic. When you worship the wrong model, you can’t do anything else than design the wrong #policy. You pretend not to see the #monopoly extracting over 6 billions from a #mortgage market they control 87% of. You don’t see that raising rates shift #income from #borrowers to banks and does not touch the supply of housing stock. You end up believing the #household metaphor is literal — that the Crown pockets are empty — when #NZ’s #Crown debt is 44% of #GDP...'

    (The OECD average is about twice that.)

    '... #Galileo was almost burned at stake for simply asking the #Inquisition #judges to look in the telescope. Same old, same old.'
    '.....
    'Gentlemen, it is clear cut #class #warfare, and the #vested interests are so encrusted in #society that they are winning. Remember that their main weakness is in numbers, they are damaging and literally #robbing the majority of us, of the New Zealand society and brainwashing many trees to think that voting for the axe is the #prudent, #family sensible thing to do. The only chance you have is when numbers talk. The #election is coming...'

  5. Trump Attacks Nation’s Top Scientific Body Over #Climate Chapter in Manual
    The president joined Republican officials who slammed the #NationalAcademiesOfSciences for a chapter about climate science in an educational guide for #judges. The chapter in question provides an overview of climate science, including how #carbondioxide and other gases trap heat in the atmosphere, and how human activity has disturbed that natural cycle.

  7. In 2015, John Oliver discussed the problems created by electing judges during a segment for his program LastWeekTonight.

    Oliver discussed how some ads in judicial campaigns fail to make substantive arguments relevant to the campaign, while others can be wildly misleading.

    Oliver also discussed how fundraising for judicial campaigns can create conflicts of interest.

  8. Many people are worried about the corrupting influence of money in politics.

    Wealthy people, powerful corporations, and well-financed special interests often spend large amounts of money to influence the outcome of important elections.

    Candidates running for elected judicial positions need to raise money to finance their campaigns, and their campaign advertising, just like candidates running in any other election.

  9. If voters approve the proposed constitutional amendment, Kansas Supreme Court Justices would be directly elected.

    Multiple candidates could run for the same position on the court.

    Kansas Supreme Court Justices would be elected to six-year terms.

  10. Last month, 3 #ICC #judges sued #Trump & his admin over #sanctions imposed on them last year, arguing the measures were unlawful.

    The #State Dept official on Monday said Secretary of State #MarcoRubio & other top #US officials are pressuring other countries as ​part of a campaign "to diplomatically ​isolate the International Criminal ⁠Court & ensure it cannot target Americans."

  11. REMEMBERING REALITY

    The mind comments on everything.

    It names, judges, explains, defends, and turns each moment into a story.

    The story keeps changing.

    One moment fear.

    The next certainty.

    Then blame, hope, memory, or anticipation.

    “NO COMMENT” ends that movement.

    It does not argue with the mind.

    It simply stops feeding it.

    And when the shifting commentary is no longer covering everything up, what remains is:

    REALITY.

    Not created.

    Not discovered.

    REMEMBERED.

  12. The Séance Court: Original Intent and the Fraud of Speaking for the Dead

    Nine lawyers in black robes sit in a marble temple in Washington and commune with the dead. They ask James Madison, silent since 1836, how he feels about bump stocks. They ask a Virginia planter to rule on geofence warrants and a Boston merchant to weigh encrypted messaging, and they transcribe the answers with straight faces into the United States Reports. Every other corner of American life has a name for this ritual. When a widow pays for it in a candlelit parlor, we call it a séance and we call the medium a fraud. When five justices perform it in October Term, we call it originalism, and law schools award tenure for defending the candles. […]

  14. No presidential contests in #US history have been as thoroughly investigated as the #2020election. Over more than five years, every #ConspiracyTheory from #Trump & his allies — including false claims about election workers, mail ballots & election machines — has been investigated & debunked by #election officials from both political parties &, in many cases, by members of #Congress, #judges & #LawEnforcement.

  15. The former #judges argued that #Trump & the #FederalGovernment is improperly using the IRS lawsuit “to allow a ‘commission’ controlled by the President to dole out $1.776 billion in taxpayer dollars without constitutional or congressional authority” & to obtain “unlawful private benefits to the President & his family” by barring any #audits of prior #taxes.

  16. @ErikJonker @geopolitics expect after #migrants arrest more #democrats #judges to be arrested too. The concentrationcamps must be filled. #hitlers playbook.

  17. Among those orders? The 184 court rulings that have temporarily halted unlawful actions taken by the #Trump admin. And Trump has already been ignoring #CourtOrders from #judges to stop deporting #immigrants without… #DueProcess.

    EVERY #House #Republican voted for this provision when they voted to pass the One #BigBeautifulBill Act. Even if [as some has claimed] they didn’t know it.

  18. Translated, this provision would restrict the ability of any #court, including #SCOTUS, to enforce #compliance with its orders by holding people in #contempt. Contempt citations are an essential tool for the #courts; they allow #judges to threaten #fines, #sanctions or even #jail if people disobey their orders.

  19. Defenders in #Appalachia Against #MountainValleyPipeline Avoided #FelonyCharges

    "Initially we were charged with #conspiracy. The real conspiracy is between the #prosecutors and the #judges, between the #cops and the #corporations."

    By #AppalachiansAgainstPipelines, #CensoredNews, March 3, 2025

    "Last Tuesday, 12 pipeline fighters had court in Giles County for charges resulting from three different actions against the Mountain Valley Pipeline in 2023 and 2024 in and around the #JeffersonNationalForest, including one site where #MVP was drilling through the mountain under the #AppalachianTrail.

    "Eleven of the defendants accepted non-cooperating plea deals -- all of them were facing absurd felony charges, including
    felony abduction and felony 'unauthorized use of a vehicle.' In the end, they plead to misdemeanor charges and there were NO felony convictions. They were sentenced to community service, probation, and to pay restitution. The court room was PACKED all day long with supporters!"

  20. [#RightWing appointed #judges]… have chipped away at the #DOJ’s cases against #Jan6 rioters — & several other threats loom that could further erode the largest & most complex federal probe in history.

    Many of DOJ’s recent cases have relied on a “#geofence” warrant to #Google —using devices’ location #tracking to ID people inside the restricted area of the Capitol on #J6. But the [#ultraconservative] #5thCircuit recently found geofence warrants are unconstitutional.

  21. 13 federal #judges, all appointed by #DJT and mostly based in TX (including Ken Starr's nephew Brantley, and #MatthewKacsmaryk who suspended FDA approved drug #Mifepristone), who have stated jointly they purposefully won’t hire law clerks from #NYC's #ColumbiaLaw due to school being #AntiSemetic "incubator of bigotry".

    #Yale and #Stanford #law grads have also been apparently blanket boycotted against by the same #ConservativeJudges for #campus climates they personally disagree with.

  22. "One of the #judges at the official regional #tournament for the #Pokémon Trading Card Game that took place in Vancouver this weekend received a #LifetimeBan after he allegedly #harassed #transgender competitors.
