I just read five articles about the multi-state lawsuit challenging Trump's use of an emergency declaration to finance a border wall. None included a link to the lawsuit. That is massive disservice to readers.

Anyway, you can read it here: oag.ca.gov/system/files/a…

!!! Chief Justice Roberts joins the liberals in an important 5–3 decision affirming that the Eighth Amendment may prohibit the execution of inmates suffering dementia who cannot remember their crimes. supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…
Majority opinion by Kagan: If an inmate suffers a mental disorder (like dementia) that renders him unable to understand why the state wants to kill him, the Eighth Amendment prohibits his execution.

I predicted this outcome in October: slate.com/news-and-polit…
Kavanaugh did not participate. Alito dissents, joined by Thomas and Gorsuch. He's angry—begins his dissent this way:

"What the Court has done in this case makes a mockery
of our Rules."

Gorsuch is not pleased with a law that allows a judge—not a jury—to send sex offenders back to prison after determining that they've committed a crime. A remarkable defense of the Sixth Amendment here. supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
Gorsuch is deeply committed to the right to a trial by jury. Today he and Sotomayor once again teamed up to defend it—though this time, a majority of the justices seem to be on their side. (Alito still doesn't really believe in the Sixth Amendment.)
More on today's case from the inimitable @AHoweBlogger: scotusblog.com/2019/02/argume…

If Amy's prediction is correct, this case will impose a very welcome restriction on a draconian sex offender law.

North Carolina court declares recent voter ID and tax cap constitutional amendments INVALID because they were voted onto the ballot by a racially gerrymandered state legislature. A ruling of extraordinary breadth.

h/t @rickhasen, who notes the decision may well be reversed on appeal, even at the very liberal North Carolina Supreme Court. Definitely a novel interpretation of the NC constitution. electionlawblog.org/?p=103731
@rickhasen Also read @greg_doucette on the ruling

WTF Just Happened
@WTFJHT
What the fuck just happened today?

⚡️ Day 768: Lawless.

1/ House Democrats introduced a resolution to block and overturn Trump's unilateral national emergency declaration to get the border wall money that Congress denied him.

cnn.com/2019/02/22/pol…
🍿 The House is scheduled to vote now-ish.

The resolution is expected to pass the House, which would then start an 18-day clock for the Senate to bring it to the floor for a vote where it's also expected to pass.

1) Folks this article has me jumping around my office! Thankfully all the Snowflakes are gone and can’t report me. The Republicans in the House pulled off a major coup. The greatest gift for them and us is that Democrats never take the time to read through a bill. They assume
2) because certain language is in it, they are good to go. One Democrat in the House caught it but by that point, they were ready to pass it and start their vacation.

3) usnews.com/opinion/econom…

From the article linked above:

The House Armed Services Committee version of the annual Pentagon policy bill included a common-sense provision to make sure the Pentagon isn't tasked with paying for the wall: "Section 1039. Rule of construction
