Every TikTok I see about Chicago, I post "Chicago is the greatest city in the world" and get a chorus of "hell yeah" replies. And you may ask yourself, why do people love Chicago so much?
It's simple. Chicago is the greatest city in the world.

UPDATE: DOJ filed its response, maintaining its opposition to contempt proceedings, but identifying Ensign, Blanche, Bove, Mazzara, and Noem as having been involved in discussions from Boasberg’s March 15 TRO to the decision not to “recall the flights” taking people to El Salvador under the AEA.

Just one of the many ways in which being an above-replacement-level lawyer means knowing what arguments not to make

![REVERE, Mass. —
A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)

I have a strong suspicion that someone used an AI summary here. The phrase “exceedingly limited” in this context appears in an article by Judge J. Michael Luttig, in The Atlantic. But the cite gets the context completely wrong. Here’s what Judge Luttig says:
Question about the dissent by (the far-right) Justice Ziegler: Does this quote actually appear in Moore v. Harper? Did Moore say that state courts' role in congressional redistricting is "exceedingly limited"? I don't think it did! vhdshf2oms2wcnsvk7sdv3so.blob.core.windows.net/thearp-media...

No one cries louder than a conservative judge who thought they had a permanent majority when the shoe is suddenly on the other foot
The whole dissent is a long complaint that four of the more liberal judges agree with each other on many issues—oh my stars and garters
