Under President Barack Obama, Justice Elena Kagan expressed outrage over the injunctions in public comments at Northwestern University School of Law. Kagan lashed out at the obvious “forum shopping” by then conservative advocates to get before favorable courts, insisting “It just cannot be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years it takes to go through the normal [appellate] process.”

We've known since the Helsinki debacle, that conservatives called "treasonous," that he's Putin's beotch. Trump affirms it every chance he gets.

Kagan addressed that during oral arguments. She noted that the birthright case was not one where litigants selected a single court with a judge who was ideologically aligned with Trump to win a nationwide injunction. The birthright cases had already been lost in three different courts and the government kept losing. The government wanted to limit the injunctions to only the litigants before the particular district court. Kagan argued that would create an incentive for the government to never appeal an adverse ruling because it would be left to affected individuals to be able to hire an attorney and file a lawsuit.

Yeah, that’s why a college in Massachusetts needs to seek out an injunction from a judge in California!

Apparently, in the era of Trump, the price of a "get out of jail" card is about $1M.
A few years ago, this would have been ground for impeachment, but since the Supreme Court ruling that anything the president does is lawful, it just registers as a minor blip, as the news is only notable because the price seems kind of low.51 -

my point is that I have a long history on LRC demonstrating that I have a portfolio of stocks and bonds. Which is not a giant claim to make anyway.
Whereas your claim to have 25 million shares of tesla is a wild claim no one would believe.
I guess I don't really see your point other than sure, we're anonymous here. But judging claims is not that hard. it should be easy to believe a distance runner who is literate and educated and knowledgeable like me has accumulated a stock portfolio.
No one would believe you have 25 million shares of tesla.
Enough. This is stupid.
For the Love of God above....it was sarcasm 🙄...aka intentional. You guys are letting me down---I thought you to be a wee bit smarter.

What bias bridge are you living under?

What is your definition of “beating”? Seems like a UFC term. Is this your correlation, obviously this word is not used in any conviction. It’s very colorful and paints a picture that likely doesn’t exist.
Did Macron’s wife beat him yesterday on the plane, in your opinion?

Put another way, SCOTUS did not give the R-controlled Congress an excuse for being unprincipled cowards. Here's the blame breakdown:
1) SCOTUS basically made him above the law.
2) Congress is currently letting him do whatever he wants - legal or illegal.
3) The American people made all of the above possible. And a huge minority is STILL OK with it.

What did Hillary call the American people?

3) Was Hillary raised well enough not to put "deplorable" in a Memorial Day message?

Harvard, Apple and those giant law firms. If Trump shows he can bring those under his heel, no smaller institution will stand up to him. They’ll buckle with just a mild threat from the WH.
Simple authoritarian math.
eternal shame on this nation for electing this. Twice.
do any m'agas disagree with this?
give me a 'you're wrong, dog' piece

Deer Trumpers, please label the following things as "conservative" or "not conservative."
1) Pro-Putin/Russia. Pro-El Salvador. Xi is a great leader.
2) Anti-NATO. Anti-allies. Threaten NATO allies.
3) Deficits don't matter.
4) Tell businesses exactly what to do.
5) Mock, demote, and threaten senior military leaders if they don't kiss your a** quite enough.
6) F*** the law. 100% completely f*** the law.
Makes you want to wave a flag, doesn't it ??

Trump Russia Blotter
In which trump admits he has been protecting his pal Putin, and makes an 'angry widdle puppy dog' threat.
"What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He's playing with fire!"
-Trump
If Putin doesn’t watch out, Trump might be forced to go ALL CAPS on him.
