Good morning. It is a blustery morning here in DC as I head to @Scotus to cover WA State Dept of Licensing v. Cougar Den Inc.
@CourthouseNews
1/2
Justices will weigh an 1855 treaty between the US-Yakama Tribe and whether Cougar Den, owned by the Yakama, has tax liability on gasoline the tribe imports from Oregon and transports over the WA State highway into the rez for sale at Yakama gas stations.
2/2
I look forward to covering this today and breaking down the nuance. Stay tuned for coverage!

Good morning from inside the media room at the USDC Eastern District of Virginia. Bijan Kian's status conference with Judge Trenga gets underway this morning at 10AM. Story to come @CourthouseNews. Trial set for Feb, so today I'm expecting negotiating around docs/schedule etc.
Friendly reminder for those new to USDC EDVA coverage - while there is a media room, there isn't a closed circuit TV feeding the activity in the courtroom down to reporters. That means I can only update once out of the courtroom. Stay tuned.
Story is online and it will be updated: courthousenews.com/ex-flynn-assoc…

Good morning from the Palais des Nations in Geneva. Today @RightToKnowIE has a hearing on our complaint to the UN about Ireland's compliance with international treaty obligations.
Back in September 2016 we complained that Ireland was in breach of its Aarhus Convention obligations. This came about as a result of our extensive experience of using the Access to Information on the Environment (AIE) Regulations in Ireland (and partly connected to the NAMA case)

Good morning, ladies & gents! It's Monday. So let's *ease* into the week w/ some thoughts about Christine Blasey Ford's accusations against #SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh:
(FTR, you're watching restraint at work here... waiting until Monday 8:45am EDT instead of posting yesterday when Ford came forward. Sabbath, people.)
1. W/ all the hot takes swirling right now, I'm situating these thoughts in context of Xian ethics through lens of redemption.

Good morning, all! It's Sam (@samsokol19) back live-tweeting Day 3 of the #KavanaughHearings. We're all a little tired 😴... but let's do this!
Yesterday, Kavanaugh dropped some major hints about how he plans to undermine church-state separation on the Supreme Court. #StopKavanaugh
Yesterday, Kavanaugh clearly stated that he thinks it's ok for the government to fund religious activities with taxpayer funds.

Each of us should get to decide for ourselves whether & how our money supports religion–that’s a guarantee of the U.S. Constitution. #StopKavanaugh

Good morning: consider this your daily reminder - we’re 13 business days out from confirmation hearings beginning for #SCOTUS/#Kavanaugh.
I know we’re all tired, but please make the time to call your Senators today. I’m honestly alarmed at how little people are talking about this. We can’t accept Kavanaugh as being inevitable.
If you need the thread in guide form, it’s here. I’ll transfer it to Medium this week. tinyletter.com/Celeste_pewter…
