Am I going to make my brain explode by reading all of this bullshit, or am I going to actually enjoy my night?
Lol. These jerks doing the "DRAFT" thing and not giving us the documents in a way that we can highlight or copy and paste.
tell me you're embarrassed by your work without telling me you're embarrassed by your work
IS THIS FOR REAL?!
I honestly don't think I'm going to be able to do this.
She's giving eighth-grade book report.
SOME COMMENTATORS SAY FACT X EXISTS. We're are but a humble presidential commission, who are we to say!?
Oh, god. They literally said that two paragraphs later.
It's really unfortunate that the commission was, apparently, prohibited from viewing the work of the Supreme Court.
This mediocre history report truly is written as if it was prepared by an eighth-grader who is unable to provide any independent judgment. Why even bother having commissioners? If you can get through the wording of this third sentence without screaming, you're stronger than me.
And to be clear, I have tremendous respect for several of the members of the commission, and, more broadly, respect for most of them and their work as scholars of the law. That makes the commission’s work all the more disappointing. I’d hope to see some speak out, at the least.

Breaking: Booksellers' challenge to Texas's book-ban regime succeeds at the Fifth Circuit.
Today, the full Fifth Circuit announced that the far-right judges of the court LOST a vote for rehearing en banc 8-9 after a 3-judge panel had previously upheld the dist ct's injunction.
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.
Here's my thread on the preliminary injunction ruling from Feb. 29:
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…
BREAKING: Supreme Court will NOT hear case over Washington's conversion therapy ban, over the objection of Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh. Thomas and Alito write.
Supreme Court also DENIES RFK Jr.'s request to intervene at SCOTUS in Murphy v. Missouri, the case over Biden administration social media influence out of the Fifth Circuit. Thomas notes his dissent.
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.
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.
