Loving every single award so far. Is this just a magic moment?
Love Mark Ruffalo’s dedication to improving the world on every front, and showing it in his work and in his life.
Another Watchman win. This episode was so incredible, and Cord Jefferson just brought it all — including a mental health shout out, thanking his therapist and calling for free mental health care. 💖
Here’s more from @cordjefferson, who you all should be following: npr.org/2020/09/18/914…
(Sorry I wrote “Watchman” above. 😭)
All amazing women.
Uzo Aduba wins the Emmy for her portrayal of Shirley Chisholm. 🥳 Fantastic.

Watchmen! Great speech.
WOW. Lena Waithe talking about blackness and queerness and intersectionality on the Emmys and about how much more work needs to be done, how much space is still left unexplored.
Kendall, with the Power Play.
LAVERNE’S LEWK! 🔥🔥🔥
!!! Julia Garner is so excellent in Ozark. Well earned.
Schitt’s Creek, Watchmen, and Succession. Fantastic.

There is highly questionable action from the Fifth Circuit this weekend, flagged to me by @steve_vladeck. On Saturday, the Fifth Circuit issued "a temporary administrative stay," allowing Texas S.B. 4 — the challenged Texas immigration law — to go into effect in 7 days. COURT ORDER granting a temporary administrative stay is granted. The Appellees’ request to stay the temporary administrative stay for seven days following the date hereof pending an application to the Supreme Court of the United States is granted. It is further ordered that this appeal is expedited to the next available Oral Argument Calendar.It is further ordered that Appellants’ opposed motion for a stay pending appeal is deferred to the oral argument merits panel thatreceives this case. [43] [24-50149] (CCR) [Entered: 03/02/2024 06:13 PM]

BREAKING: Fifth Circuit holds that fed'l emergency room protections (EMTALA) do not mandate that physicians provide abortions when that is the "stabilizing treatment" needed, upholding an injunction issued in a lawsuit brought by Texas. More to come: lawdork.com
For background on this issue (while I'm reading and writing), here's some a post relating to the still-pending SCOTUS stay application filed by Idaho in the inverse EMTALA litigation, where DOJ sued Idaho: lawdork.com/i/139439910/th…

"What do you want me to say about slavery?" should be the end of Nikki Haley's political career. Q: What was the cause of the United States Civil War? Haley: Well, don’t come with an easy question or anything. I mean, I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run. The freedoms and what people could and couldn’t do. What do you think the cause of the Civil War was? Q: I’m not running for president. I wanted to hear you view on the cause of the Civil War. Haley: I mean, I think it always comes down to the role of government. We need to have capitalism, we need to have economic freedom, we need to make sure that we do all things so that individuals have ...

BREAKING: On a 2-1 vote, the 11th Circuit DENIES Florida’s request that it be allowed to enforce its anti-drag law against everyone in the state except the plaintiffs during the appeal.

tl;dr: The law remains wholly blocked.

Background at Law Dork: lawdork.com/p/florida-anti…
Image
Jordan and Rosenbaum, both Obama appointees, hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion in granting an injunction prohibiting all enforcement of the ban, given its underlying finding that the law is likely overbroad and this likely facially unconstitutional.
Brasher, a Trump appointee, dissents and would grant a partial stay, finding the injunction to be, itself, overly broad to achieving the goal of protecting the plaintiff’s rights.
