Exactly.
Are these good arguments? Does precedent and historical analysis support them? Is there case law that undermines or negates key props of the reasoning?
Who cares? Seriously. If that's how you're gonna do this going forward, you've already lost. /🧵

It's strange for the President of the United States to be litigating in his personal capacity against the Justice Department he runs — but he's seeking an order barring "current, former and future" DOJ officials from releasing Jack Smith's second volume. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Biden admin was last chance to slow the judicial revolution and they sleep walked instead
The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.
Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.
