Well, GDP decreased 0.5% in Q1 2025, accompanied by decreases in consumer spending and the consumer confidence index. Yes, I'm getting tired of winning.

Well, it is official — the Trump whores on the Supreme Court just said “Okey Dokey boss — whatever you want!”
By restricting the scope of injunctive relief on nation-wide constitutional issues, preventing national injunctions, in this case for birthright citizenship, it will allow Red states to withhold issuing birth certificates, thus putting a newborn’s citizenship under a cloud.
This is exactly the type of issue that cries out for a nation-wide hold! Whatever twisted logic Roberts and his RWNJ accomplices came up with is obviously based on reverse-engineering the desired outcome.
The Roberts court is a cancer on our system of justice.
This was a blunt force ruling that deserved a more nuanced response. It's hard to argue completely against the need to rein in nationwide injunctions when we've endured numerous MAGA judge-shopping injunctions. But the problem is that, without such a process, there is no way to force a nationwide ruling unless and until conflicting rulings work their way up the appeals chain — even when a broad consensus of rulings is available.
I read further, and there are two options left open — a lawsuit filed by a state that shows harm to all states can still be granted a nation-wide injunction, or the parties affected could be certified as a class (harder to do, but could apply nation-wide).
They’ve gone for class-action designation, Harry: https://www.axios.com/2025/06/27/birthright-citizenship-order-lawsuit
Glad they were already prepared. But the judge has to certify the class as well. Extra hoops, but hopefully gets the result desired. SCOTUS back 20 years ago apparently made class action status very hard to get, but now they are pointing at it as their preferred path.
The Roberts court is only consistent in their inconsistency.
Until there is an approach to a broader action, I'm hoping the Democratic AGs will move rapidly to protect the citizens in their states by filing for Temporary Restraining Orders for the residents of their state.
DOJ is going to be spread mighty thin keeping up with all the lawsuits that will be filed now. Instead of defending one at a time, they'll have to defend up to 94 at a time per issue, one for each federal judicial district.
I don't know about y'all, but I think the portrait FDFQ wanted up in the Colorado Capitol is worse than the old one – he looks sort of like a wrinkled old cartoon super-villain to me.
So it's a more honest depiction.
It is amazing how one man can almost singlehandly destroy an entire branch of government. That man is not Donald Trump, or John Roberts, or even Leonard Leo. Mitch McConnell's lasting legacy will be his refusal in early 2016 to allow the Senate to consider an Obama nominee to replace Scalia, because it was an election year. That got us Gorsuch. Then, lest anyone think McConnell was principled, he pushed through Coney Barrett's nomination, in 2020, days before the election, which Turmp lost. McConnell's court has reversed Roe v. Wade, given Trump imunity (and impunity), and after years of allowing lower courts to micromanage and restrict Democratic presidents, has given Trump the ability to enforce facially unconstitutinal executive orders, undermining the rule of law. Mitch McConnell is the worst.
I fully agree with that assessment. John Roberts is gaining ground in the Ogre-in-Chief competition, but Mitch is the Monster. It may be too late for the people to adequately respond, without a protracted struggle. The Forces of the Dark Side have clearly signaled their intentions. If they have their way, we have seen our last meaningful elections.
