In Missouri, it’s more of the same, as @StLouisCityCA Kim Gardner is fighting to get justice for Lamar Johnson — alongside his lawyers. But the state’s conservative AG is standing in the way.
Earlier today, advocates there pushed back:
Here’s more about today’s action and @AGEricSchmitt’s moves to keep Lamar Johnson from getting justice — from @ColorOfChange’s Scott Roberts:

Trump went after Philly’s reformer DA, @DA_LarryKrasner, tonight — picking up on the attacks Larry has received from Trump’s US Attorney there, McSwain, and on the heels of FOP officials, including at least one from Philly, meeting with Trump in a no-press meeting last Friday.
I think Krasner’s response from last Friday — inquirer.com/news/john-mcne… — will stand as to tonight as well:
Meanwhile, Philly is in the midst of a police commissioner search, and this thread has some really interesting info about the FOP’s own problems — which, of course, Trump would never even acknowledge:

1/ A belated thread on American Legion v. American Humanist Association (the Peace Cross Case). I finally finished editing it for 2019 @RandyEBarnett/@JoshMBlackman supplement.
2/ After oral argument, I tweeted my biggest fear: Breyer would write the majority opinion, and make a further hash of establishment clause jurisprudence. That sort of happened.
3/ At every turn, J. Alito's majority opinion sought to mollify J. Breyer, and repeatedly cited his concurrence in Van Orden v. Perry--it's been there for a while, so don't tear it down! But we say nothing else about anything else.

1/ Running thread as I read through the 88 pages (!) of Gamble v. US. First, I'll start w/ J. Alito's majority opinion #SCOTUS
2/ Gamble considered a draft of the Double Jeopardy Clause that was rejected. Alito says this draft should "count for little" bc "The private intent behind a drafter’s rejection of one version of a text is shoddy evidence of the public meaning of an altogether different text"
3/ In other contexts, Justices have given great weight to rejected proposals. For, in Lee v. Weisman context, J. Souter focused at great length about earlier versions of the Establishment Clause that were rejected. scholar.google.com/scholar_case?c…

Wet day here at #SCOTUS where we’ll get orders at 9:30, opinions at 10.
We've had 42 opinions in argued cases so far this term, with 27 (!) remaining.
See what's left as #SCOTUS enters the homestretch of its 2018 term. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

1/ Thread on American Legion v. American Humanist Association oral arguments (Bladensburg cross case) #SCOTUS supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
2/ Ginsburg: Jewish soldiers said cross violated Establishment Clause, was "hurtful" and "wrong." Katyal replied, "people disagree[ing] with something" does not by itself violate the Establishment Clause.
3/ Correction: tweet #2 should be Kavanaugh, not Ginsburg.

For 3yrs #SCOTUS was my beat.
It taught me so much--like that you vote as if SCOTUS depends on it.
So all you "couldn't vote for Hillary" folks?
Thanks for today's decision by #NeilGorsuch.
YOU gave us that.
And him for the next FORTY FREAKING YEARS.
Explain it to your kids.
Excellent explanation of how #NeilGorsuch just screwed every worker in America courtesy of Trump/Stein/Johnson voters.

You wanted it, you got it.

Neil Gorsuch just demolished labor rights

Honestly, America, are you EVER going to get smarter?
The president lasts for eight years max.
The #SCOTUS is forever.
Voting for the wrong SCOTUS is like getting the name of your 5th grade sweetie tattooed across your face 100 times at 10.
The impact is phenomenal and lasting.
