This is not justice. Cassuto should be declared a vexatious litigant. He should be ordered to pay Mary's costs. He should be penalised a seven-figure sum.

Norm Eisen: "Please don't overreact to the Roberts Court's decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves. They simply held that the injunction came too early, before a final rule. Now we HAVE a final rule and we will litigate it. I am as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!"

A quotation from John Lescroart

The essence of fascism is to make laws forbidding everything and then enforce them selectively against your enemies.

Agreed. I find the VPN relationships chart (it also has a catchier more uncouth name along the same lines) handy to know which firms might be known in some way to be shady.

"Republican Steve Hilton said to California voters: 'It’s OK to vote for me even if you don’t like Pres. Trump'."

He told a self-serving lie. The fact is that with Gavin Newsom as governor, California sued the Trump Administration dozens of times to protect our rights. A Republican governor is unlikely to ever let California sue Trump.

“After a years-long legal battle, the UK-based anti-Zionist academic David Miller has secured a major free speech victory against the Israel lobby currently occupying Britain and using endless lawfare to silence critics of Israel.

One of the many tools used by the British Zionist lobby to silence dissent in Britain has been to get people fired for expressing anti-Zionist beliefs.

David Miller just took this tool away from it”

The #UK – the colonial cradle of the #USA's legal system – still lives by a divine‑right ethos: politicians break rules with impunity while a barrister faces prison for invoking centuries‑old juror rights. The state brands activists as terrorists to mute #Palestinian resistance, and the same courts that conceal Israel’s genocide in #Gaza now punish anyone who tells the truth.

Scott MacFarlane: "A court filing by defense for former Olympian David Hearn could be death knell for Justice Department's criminal case at the Reflecting Pool. The filing says: "The Constitution simply does not permit the government to charge a man with destroying an object, retain exclusive custody of that object, and then drain, disturb, and alter the object before the defense may examine it."

Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, said other people who displayed the same numbers (86 47) would not face the same prosecution.

Mr. Blanche said: “What makes Mr. Comey’s case different is other evidence collected, which he said he could not describe."

This is called "selective prosecution" and it is one more sign that this case is phony.
