  7. Six to three. Two Trump-appointed justices struck down his IEEPA tariffs. $159 billion owed in refunds. Sunday's Truth Social meltdown wasn't rage — it was a confession: he thinks the bench owes him loyalty. The court he built is not his to break.

  11. A quotation from Twain

    A strange thing, when one considers it: to wit, the world applies to Czar and System the same moral axioms that have vogue and acceptance in civilized countries! Because, in civilized countries, it is wrong to remove oppressors otherwise than by process of law, it is held that the same rule applies in Russia, where there is no such thing as law — except for our Family. Laws are merely restraints — they have no other function. In civilized countries they restrain all persons, and restrain them all alike, which is fair and righteous; but in Russia such laws as exist make an exception — our Family. We do as we please; we have done as we pleased for centuries. Our common trade has been crime, our common pastime murder, our common beverage blood — the blood of the nation. Upon our heads lie millions of murders. Yet the pious moralist says it is a crime to assassinate us. We and our uncles are a family of cobras set over a hundred and forty million rabbits, whom we torture and murder and feed upon all our days; yet the moralist urges that to kill us is a crime, not a duty.

    Mark Twain (1835-1910) American writer [pseud. of Samuel Clemens]
    Story (1905-02-02), “The Czar’s Soliloquy,” North American Review, Vol. 180, No. 580 (1905-03)

  16. 1-2 This is the same man who lectures America about “law and order” while spending years trying to escape consequences that any normal citizen would already be forced to face. The truth is simple: pedo Trump doesn’t believe rules apply to him. #TrumpWatch #RuleOfLaw

  17. BREAKING: Congressman Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) is introducing a constitutional amendment to establish term limits for Supreme Court Justices.
    The ROBE Act would establish 18-year term limits for justices. #SCROTUS #SCOTUS #TermLimits #RuleOfLaw

  18. "Trump officials ... treatment of #court orders poses serious dangers.

    “The federal #government should be the institution most devoted to the #RuleOfLaw in this country,” said David Super, a constitutional #law scholar at Georgetown University. “When it ceases to feel itself bound, respect for the rule of law is likely to break down across the country.”"

  19. A terrifyingly great line from the small screen:

    “Go ahead, dispossess yourself of all your laws. If you tear down your own house to persecute me, I rejoice.”

  21. Sometimes rights remain in law, in speeches, in institutional language, while access becomes slower, harder, more exhausting, and less meaningful.

    A right that arrives too late cannot fully protect. A system that preserves the language of justice while delaying its practice is not neutral; it is teaching people that endurance is the price of dignity.

    Human rights are not ideals to admire. They are protections that must be usable, timely, and real.

  22. Global Sumud Flotilla Demands Urgent EU Intervention After Two Civilians Abducted and Disappear — Global Sumud Flotilla (2026-05-01)

    globalsumudflotilla.org/press/
    ------

    >> The #GlobalSumudFlotilla is calling for immediate intervention from Members of the European Parliament following the disappearance of two civilian participants on a humanitarian mission to Gaza after Israeli naval forces intercepted vessels engaged in a humanitarian mission...

    >> Time is critical. This is about more than two individuals. It is about whether Europe will uphold the rule of law when it comes to Gaza, or allow it to be suspended in the face of Israeli actions.

    >> Inaction risks enabling unlawful detention and further attacks on civilian efforts to break the siege on #Gaza. We are calling for immediate political and diplomatic intervention.
