Ginni Thomas urged Mark Meadows to overturn the 2020 election by any means necessary—while her husband was ruling on cases attempting to overturn the election. A truly extraordinary level of corruption. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… Image
Look at the absolutely deranged conspiracy theories Ginni Thomas pushed. Fringe doesn’t begin to cover it. She promoted conspiracy theories from a Sandy Hook truther plus QAnon stuff. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… ImageImage
The wife of a sitting Supreme Court justice told Trump’s chief of staff that Biden and his family would face military tribunals at Guantanamo for “ballot fraud.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… Image
Ginni Thomas wanted Mike Pence to throw the election for Trump on Jan. 6. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… Image
Ginni Thomas, Nov. 19, 2020: “Sounds like Sidney and her team are getting inundated with evidence of fraud. Make a plan. Release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
A note about Ginni's reference to her "best friend" in one of these texts (left): Clarence and Ginni regularly refer to each other as "best friends." (One example on the right.) newyorker.com/magazine/2011/… ImageImage

The Supreme Court's first opinion of the day is in Houston Community College System v. Wilson. This is the case in which a state board censured one of its members, and the member claimed his censure violated the First Amendment. SCOTUS says: No it didn't. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…
Gorsuch's unanimous opinion is an interesting read in light of the ongoing debate on this website about whether free speech includes a right to avoid consequences for your speech. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…

There will be more opinion(s). Image
The Supreme Court's second and final opinion of the day is in Ramirez v. Collier, holding that Texas' ban on "religious touch and audible" prayer in the execution chamber violates RLUIPA. Opinion by Roberts; only Thomas dissents. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…

FACT: Neil Gorsuch, Mike’s former boss, advocated for freeing 500,000 convicted sex offenders—including many child predators—from the federal sex offender registry’s requirements in Gundy v. US.

His opinion explains why Mike’s smears today are nonsense. supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…
Gorsuch’s fight to free 500,000 sex offenders from the federal registry does not mean he’s soft on child predators. It means he applies his interpretation of the Constitution equally to the most hated and despised among us. That is a commendable trait, and one that KBJ shares.
By the way, Josh Hawley’s former boss John Roberts joined Gorsuch’s opinion.

SCOTUS clerks like Davis and Hawley understand that lawyers and judges who defend sex offenders are doing their job as the Constitution requires. They know these KBJ smears are baseless and disgusting.

Incidentally, Judge Laurence Silberman just sent this email to the listservs for all Article III judges in the United States. “To all Article III judges, The latest events at Yale Law
Confirmed by multiple sources who saw the email fyi.

I know we had a big conversation on here about the propriety of complaining to someone’s prospective employer about their free expression of unpopular views, so I’m sure Silberman’s email will be condemned across the aisle.
Judge John Walker, a Reagan/GHWB nominee on the 2nd Circuit, responded to Silberman: "Thank you for your email. I couldn't agree more."

BREAKING: SCOTUS has refused to stay congressional maps drawn by the state Supreme Courts of North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch dissent from the North Carolina decision. Orders posted shortly.
Here is the NC order.

Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch, say the NC Supreme Court's maps likely violate the Elections Clause, endorsing the independent state legislature theory.

Kavanaugh says the Purcell principle requires SCOTUS to stay out of it—for now. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2139…
Here is the Pennsylvania order denying an injunction. No noted dissents. The court notes that the case has been referred to a three-judge court and the parties can appeal from its decision to grant or deny an injunction. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2139…

The Supreme Court’s first and only opinion of the day is in Wooden v. US, an ACCA case. In an opinion by Kagan, the court (somewhat surprisingly) rejects a sentence enhancement for the defendant! supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…
Gorsuch and Sotomayor team up again, this time to (1) encourage application of the rule of lenity in ACCA cases and (2) note the substantial jury trial issue that “simmers beneath the surface of today’s case.” supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…
The court unanimously holds that multiple crimes committed in the course of a single spree count just once under ACCA, but splinter in a few different directions on specific aspects of the decision. It’s a good outcome IMO and I like Gorsuch’s concurrence. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…

Florida prohibited gay people from adopting children—and was the last state to do so—until 2010, when a court struck down the ban.

Now Ron DeSantis’ press secretary is accusing gay teachers of “grooming” students simply by being openly gay. You see where this is going, right?
If DeSantis’ press secretary thinks gay teachers are “grooming” students, imagine what she says about same-sex parents in private.

Florida is going down a dark road, reviving bigoted myths about the need to protect children from gay predators. This won’t stop with schools.
Also for the thousand time, the Florida gag law is NOT limited to 4-8 year-olds, it applies to all grades, and the fact that its proponents keep lying about this fact illustrates how indefensible it is. slate.com/news-and-polit…
