Yesterday, I posted a description of (and link to, to prevent @kenwhite.bsky.social from getting stabby) Justice William G. Young's remarkable ruling in the case regarding the US maladministration's efforts to curb-stomp the first amendment, at least as it applies to non-citizens.
If you didn't want to read it, or even the final dozen pages that are so worthwhile, Chris Geidner ("Law Dork") has a post about it today which I couldn't improve upon if I tried. Do read that.

In any case, Judge Young, a spry 85 years young, is hitting three times as hard as the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post combined - with one hand tied behind his back, because he has to observe the necessities of writing while in his post within the judicial branch. He has earned a place in the honour rolls with this ruling, if he hadn't already done so before.

A treat of a read from @chrisgeidner #LawDork #Alito #Recuse #Resign #MarthAnnAlito #SCOTUS
"Here’s a list of demeaning quotes from Alito’s letter responding to Sens. Dick Durbin and Sheldon Whitehouse’s letter from last week calling on his recusal:
“As I have stated publicly, I had nothing whatsoever to do with the flying of that flag. I was not even aware of the upside-down flag until it was called to my attention.” Alito, who served in the military, wants you to believe that he did not notice an upside-down flag flying in front of his home.
“As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused.” Come off it.
“My wife and I own our Virginia home jointly. She therefore has the legal right to use the property as she sees fit, and there were no additional steps that I could have taken to have the flag taken down more promptly.” Is he describing a landlord-tenant relationship, or his family? Beyond that, this was a Supreme Court justice in January 2021, as the Twenty-Fifth Amendment was being discussed, impeachment was being pursued, and fences were being erected, but this man decided not to push whether there was an upside-down flag flying in front of his home? This honestly is as distressing an admission to me as anything Alito has said throughout this scandal. (Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern dig down on an aspect of this, Alito’s one-woman feminism.)"

#Death by Suffucation
If this isn't cruel and unusual punishment, I'm not sure what is!
Reprehensible #SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to try and suffocate Kenneth Smith to death.
The three liberal justices would have granted him a stay of execution in connection with his challenge to the state's untested nitrogen gas execution protocol.
In her dissent, Justice Sonia #Sotomayor laid out the hard facts of Thursday night (see photo)

"’What do you want me to say about slavery?’ should be the end of #NikkiHaley's political career.” - #ChrisGeidner #LawDork
That was her only mention of slavery while answering a question about the cause of the civil war at a forum in SC.
