=====Federalist Society quiet on bigwig member who spoke at insurrection, told Pence to overturn election=====
===== I was an independent observer in the Greenpeace trial. What I saw was shocking =====

The North Dakota case is so deeply flawed – at its core, the trial was really about crushing dissent – that I believe there is a good chance it will be reversed on appeal and ultimately backfire against the Energy Transfer pipeline company.

===== The king of dark money effectively controls the US supreme court now =====
[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/30/supreme-court-leonard-leo-dark-money by Joel Warner 1/7/23 The Guardian]
Once again, the US supreme court has issued rulings triggering national uproar. This time, the court has ruled that universities’ race-conscious admission policies are unconstitutional, that businesses can deny services to LGBTQ+ customers, and that Joe Biden can’t move forward with his student loan forgiveness plan. And just like the justices’ decision last year to end federal abortion protections and other troubling Scotus developments this term, the court’s new decisions are all examples of how dark money reigns supreme.

Before I begin, I hope everyone who celebrates had a lovely Christmas.  Writing may slow down some through the new year.  Though, lets me fair, this place is already kind of sporadic.  But I hope to continue to keep to at least one new post a week in the new year.  Now on with irritating judges and lawyers.
 
===== The Bruen Decision Is Not an "Originalist" Interpretation of the 2nd Amendment =====
[https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/8/31/2190763/-The-Bruen-Decision-Is-Not-an-Originalist-Interpretation-of-the-2nd-Amendment by Old Rotorhead 31/8/23 DAILY KOS]
Self-proclaimed “originalists” tend to use their alleged doctrine as a fig leaf for enacting their prejudices. In addition to the subject of reproductive autonomy, that’s especially in evidence, it seems, with regard to the Second Amendment.  The Supreme Court actually has a set of rules for legal interpretation which enshrines aversion of “originalism”:
 
===== The Reagan-Appointed Judge Fast-Tracking Trump to Trial =====
[https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/us/politics/judge-william-g-young-trump.html?auth=login-google1tap&login=google1tap&smid=url-share&unlocked_article_code=1.QE8.6N93.ICeRtmR7NE0X by Zach Montague 18/6/25 The New York Times]
After 40 years on the federal bench, Judge William G. Young recently experienced what he viewed as a career first, and it didn’t sit well with him.

  More than 200 judges have been embedded in the federal judiciary by outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. The huge majority of those judges come from the Federalist Society, the right-wing dark money association that has been working for years to erode civil rights, end abortion, oppose LGBTQ equality, stop gun safety laws, and fight regulations protecting the environment, health care, and worker safety—aka everything achieved in roughly half a century of progress. They are responsible for the current makeup of the Supreme Court and most of the Republican Senate. And they also have at least partial responsibility for the insurrection that happened at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
