The final new grant today — Wooden v. US — is another Armed Career Criminal Act grant, but, interestingly, it was a true pro se petition initially, filed by Wooden himself on a fill-in-the-blanks form (although he now has counsel from Arnold & Porter). supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/20/2…

Ted Cruz couldn’t possibly be flying to Cancun in the middle of this, could he? Like, truly?!
I mean, we’ll see, but there are a bunch of pictures being circulated — and there are several! — that sure look like him and tweets that claim that he took a flight to Cancun this evening. If anyone has a denial from Cruz’s office, please share!
I do feel like they’d have been able to deny this by now if it was false.
We still have not heard from #SCOTUS about the pending requests in Alabama’s attempt to execute Willie Smith. The state is asking #SCOTUS to lift two stays granted by lower courts, so the execution will not proceed unless the justices grant those requests.
As Alabama acknowledges in its filing, it will not be able to proceed with Smith's execution at this time if SCOTUS doesn't act in the next 83 minutes because "Alabama’s execution warrant is only valid for twenty-four hours, until 11:59 p.m. CST tonight."
Why is this guy talking about Pelosi delaying when McConnell was the one who said he wouldn’t bring the Senate back? Shouldn’t this complaint be addressed to Mitch?
What version of the Constitution is this?! Why does he have his tabs like that? I’m appalled on all fronts!
