Conservatives' brains are so broken. Thomas is one of the most powerful people in the country and he lives like a billionaire, vacationing on private yachts and private ranches. But he is still filled with resentment over "liberals" making his life miserable back when he was a baby in 1948? Wut?

Thomas isn’t going anywhere voluntarily. www.nytimes.com/1993/11/27/u...

Last year, in a conversation with two of his own law clerks, recent law school graduates chosen for their conservative views, Justice Thomas said he intended to remain on the Court until the year 2034.

Why that long? one asked. Because that would give him a 43-year term, he replied, according to the clerk's account, explaining, "The liberals made my life miserable for 43 years, and I'm going to make their lives miserable for 43 years."

It's telling that the entire premise of the shadow docket is that lower courts are incompetent. Not wrong, not the normal judges-can-disagree stuff. SCOTUS is certain the Appellate and District courts are all so truly incompetent that they cannot properly decide injunctions, forcing SCOTUS to act.🙄

In thinking about what to do about the rogue Court, we maybe focus a bit too much on court packing yes or no, granted that's the most important. But some of the less sexy things can be done by more mundane statutory fixes. Congress could, and should, nuke the shadow docket.

It's almost as if everything Trump says about the negotiations bullshit and everyone who believes him is a cultist or a moron.

Iran fired at a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday after reimposing restrictions on the waterway in response to a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

Imagine a world where the memos instead of being kept internal had been maybe cleaned up and published as concurring or dissenting opinions; they practically read as such when you drop the informality of using first names.

WOW: Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak have the memos that describe the origins of SCOTUS shadow docket - the 2016 order halting Obama’s Clean Power Plan @jodikantor.bsky.social @adamliptak.bsky.social @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

This week on Serious Trouble: the very bad judgment of Swalwell, Josh uses Tiger King to trigger Ken into another rant about how standing law is bullshit (with apologies to @jadler1969.bsky.social), Ken not allowed to ride helicopters www.serioustrouble.show/p….
Call the Swalwell Hotline

Call the Swalwell Hotline

New York and Los Angeles prosecutors investigate the former congressman, while Jeanine Pirro sets up a hotline for accusers; no one lets Ken go to crime scenes.

The frontier models try "distillation defense" to prevent reverse-engineering. Problem is, the methods (don't allow lower temperatures, mask thinking, etc) make the product worse and frustrate paying power users. Basically every proprietary AI will be rebuilt as streamlined open source eventually.

I think a lot of AI/corporate doomers are still fundamentally not understanding that open-source models you can run locally on consumer hardware are no worse than two years behind the frontier models and for most purposes a lot closer

Learn whatever you want about "law," it doesn't matter because GOP Justices blew up the entire process of deciding cases based on chats with rich friends and stuff they watched on TV. That was the entire basis on which SCOTUS switched to the shadow docket.

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Back when I was a prosecutor we used to call this — telling everyone you were probably going to lose — ”laying a mattress.”

Trump: "I think I'm doing the best job of anybody. But for some reason, a president, the party does poorly in the midterms. It doesn't make sense. We're ending wars all over the place. And wait until you see prices fall."

Wife and her crew are doing the Trans-Catalina Trail this weekend. They just made their first camp and this island fox is already scoping their food. That’s why you have to lock food in Fox Boxes apparently.
