SCOTUS's lone decision today is Feliciano v. Dept of Transportation. By a 5–4 vote, the court holds that the govt must provide extra pay to reservists called up "during a national emergency" EVEN IF their service has no substantial connection to that…

Fantastic piece from @dahlialithwick.bsky.social on the tide finally starting to turn: "But what really matters—what is measurable and knowable now in a way that was not a few weeks ago—is that standing up to Trump is going to be worth it."…

A key fact about tomorrow's Supreme Court arguments: St. Isadore, the Catholic charter school, does NOT agree to abide by state laws in exchange for receiving state funding. It reserves a right to indoctrinate in the Catholic faith and discriminate against…

An extremely tense exchange at the Supreme Court this morning in a case about school disability accommodations: Renowned advocate Lisa Blatt accused her opponents of “lying,” prompting Justice Gorsuch to scold her from the bench. But she was indignant and…

Spoke with @maryharris.bsky.social about the Supreme Court's assault on secular public education—simultaneously giving religious parents a veto over curricula AND demanding that states divert taxpayer money to parochial charter schools run by the Catholic…

A blessedly quiet orders list from the Supreme Court this morning, with just one new grants, in a case about diversity jurisdiction. A relief. https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/042825zor_bq7c.pdf

The insatiable fascist desire to censor art alive and well over at the Federalist. Imagine seeing the David and, before anything else, questioning whether it should “get a free pass” because it depicts nudity. Sister Wendy would eat this writer for…

On the urgent need for state bars to investigate and sanction the Big Law lawyers who are striking unethical deals with the Trump administration that breach their most basic professional obligations. The capitulators must face consequences. With…

Grateful to @jaywillis.net for investigating ANOTHER children’s book slandered by the Supreme Court to find that—surprise, surprise—Neil Gorsuch is lying about what’s in it. https://ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/pride-puppy-gorsch-religious-freedom/

As others have noted, it’s truly wild to see Terry Doughty write this. He is one of the most extreme MAGA judges appointed in Trump’s first term, author of many wacky, hard-right rulings reversed on appeal. When even he is appalled by an illegal…
