Justice Sotomayor on fire in her Noem v. Vasquez Perdomo dissent.

NOEM v. VASQUEZ PERDOMO
SOTOMAYOR, J., dissenting

this Court decides to take the once-extraordinary step of staying the District Court’s order. That decision is yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to
work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.

Pure fiction.
This senior adviser to potus can’t even see that Oregon’s 6,695 sworn police officers are less numerous than the FBI’s ~13,700 special agents.
Stephen Miller shouldn’t be trusted to advise on a coffee order, let alone government policy. He is out of touch with reality.

Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. 

(There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and i…

Some months ago, Trump ordered the halt of minting pennies. OK. Now there is a #Penny shortage coming. Fine.
Problem is: There is no accompanying #law.
"Without the production of new pennies, cash transactions would need to be rounded to the nearest nickel. There are some states and loca…

Kinda weird it makes sense to make a graphic like this.
No idea what I should use it for.

Useful bit of political/legal analysis from @….
Plus bonus enjoyment from this little piece of advice:
"(As a general rule, the more reliance which is placed on how “distinguished” a lawyer is making a point, the weaker the legal point being made.)"
Haha!

“"Why should a person be entitled to drive again after that?" she said.”
Indeed... why do people get away with a slap on the wrist even when they kill someone with their vehicle!?

I normally try to avoid american politics like the plague. There's nothing I can do about it.
But this piece. Wow.
These guys have a lot in common with Iran's clerics.
I'm starting to feel we have to pay some attention in Europe. Because they're coming for us next. ...

"For my friends everything, for my critics, the law."
#indictment comes 2 months after #FBI agents found documents labeled “confidential”in Bolton's Washington, DC office that referenced WMDs, unsealed court records show. It was not immediately clear whether the charges prosecutors would seek were related to those documents.
If the #GrandJury decides to indict #JohnBolton [it will, ham sandwich & all], it would mark the 3rd time in recent weeks that the #DOJ has secured #criminal charges against one of #Trump's critics.

Content warning: privacy laws, back doors & remote bricking risks

Good points well made by @…:
"It's well past time for a post-American internet. Every device and every service should be designed so that the people who use them have the final say over how they work. Manufacturers' back doors and digital locks that prevent us from updating our devices with software of our choosing were never a good idea. Today, they're a catastrophe. ...
"For the rest of the world to escape dictators' demands, they will have to accelerate their independence from American tech – not just Russian gas. A post-American internet starts with abandoning the laws that give US companies – and therefore Trump – a veto over how your technology works."
