Hello from the annual convention of the American Constitution Society, a major gathering for liberal lawyers, law profs, and judges. Are you here? Come say hello! #ACS2019
Judge Carlton Reeves just got a rousing standing ovation at #ACS2019. You may know Reeves's name from the current legal fight over Miss.'s abortion laws: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil… and a speech he gave comparing Trump's criticism of the courts to the KKK: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Reeves introduced Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative, who is getting a lifetime achievement award. Reeves described Stevenson's SCOTUS argument in Miller v. Alabama (challenging mandatory life sentences for juveniles) and highlighting some of his famous quotes
One of Stevenson's most famous quotes: "Each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done." If that sounds familiar, it may be because Maria Butina's lawyer quoted it at her sentencing hearing: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Per White House pool, Trump said he's "thinking of" using executive order to get the citizenship Q on the 2020 Census.

By 2pm, DOJ has to file a notice either confirming they're dropping the Q or giving a proposed sched for next steps if they're not, see: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Just in: The judge in SDNY census citizenship Q is going to hold off scheduling a hearing for now, citing the 2pm update deadline in the Maryland case and DOJ's representation that they'll notify the court "immediately" if circumstances change
NOW: DOJ filed a report on the census citizenship Q, and it's not definitive — they repeat they've been asked to "reevaluate all available options" and if the admin adopts a "new rationale" to try again, they'll alert the court assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6183…

NEW: The 9th Circuit denied the govt's emergency request to undo a lower court injunction that blocks the administration from carrying out part of Trump's plan to reprogram billions in federal funds for border construction assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6182…
9th Circuit: "Because section 8005 did not authorize DoD to reprogram the funds ... the use of those funds violates the constitutional requirement that the Executive Branch not spend money absent an appropriation from Congress." assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6182…
What does this mean? This means that while the Trump admin pursues its appeal, a lower court injunction blocking the admin from pursuing at least part of Trump's plan to reprogram DOD money to pay for border construction remains in place, and they cannot use that money

NOW: A federal judge on Ohio has blocked the state's six-week abortion ban — plaintiffs likely to succeedin arguing that the law is "unconstitutional on its face," the judge wrote assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6182…
A clarification: The judge said the plaintiffs were "certain to succeed" - you rarely see that kind of langauge in a preliminary injunction order, since it's not supposed to be final (usually the judge will say something like "likely to succeed")
NOW: A federal judge has blocked Ohio's six-week abortion ban, finding the challengers are "certain to succeed" in arguing that the law is "unconstitutional on its face" buzzfeednews.com/article/emaoco…

Some rare GOOD NEWS for women’s rights:

Mississippi Southern District Judge, Carlton Reeves, blocked a law banning abortion after 15 weeks, citing it as unconstitutional & calling the legislature's professed interest in women's health "pure gaslighting.” cnn.it/2R0i8ZQ
“Leaders are proud to challenge Roe but choose not to lift a finger to address the tragedies lurking on the other side of the delivery room such as high infant & maternal mortality rates

No legislation is closer to the old Mississippi, one bent on controlling women & minorities”
“The state chose to pass a law it knew was unconstitutional to endorse a campaign to overturn Roe v. Wade. This court follows the commands of the Supreme Court and the dictates of the U.S. Constitution, rather than the disingenuous calculations of the Mississippi Legislature."

Just Live With It
@bbc_thismorning
This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.
