Just finished listening to oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara (birthright citizenship case) before US SCOTUS. My impression is that there is a solid majority (Brown, Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Gorsuch) that will hold Trump's executive order unconstitutional or at least unlawful under 8 USC...

My comments on social media right after having listened to the oral argument on the birthright citizenship case before SCOTUS this morning: Just finished listening to oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara (birthright citizenship case) before US SCOTUS. My impression is that there is a solid...

I've literally had defense counsel argue that a 1 in 62 septillion chance of a random match could lead to "reasonable doubt" or argue that because those chances are for an sample from a "random unrelated" person.....how can we know what the chances are that a person related to the Defendant...

I would question how "diminished" the regime actually is if it has shown it can chokepoint the Strait of Hormuz even in face of a war with Israel and the US to the point that the US vacates the war. The truth is there are no good, or even decent, options once the critical error of starting a...

In other words, the oligarchy he serves and the cultists who serve him.

OU law school-50s consistently Arizona State University Law School 30s consistently

2025 = 196 full time law schools accredited by the American Bar Association, so…. Basically the very definition of mediocre, middle of the road.

Ranked 99th in the country overall by US News and World Reports.

All those "wolves" are just doing what their Leader of The Pack is telling/wanting them to do, Joe.

This is so bizarre. Does he think that oil in those tankers now belongs to HIM? Or the US Government? Or to whomever actually paid for it? It appears that it's actually Iranian oil headed to China, India, or some other country that still purchases from them despite the sanctions...
