“Beyond the human toll—more than 80 individuals have been killed without due process over three months—and the risk that the strikes are a prelude to a direct U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, they signal a broader threat to security at home and abroad.“

why a ruling based on "regular forces" (which is the route I think the court will take, although prognostication is a game for fools) will be somewhat hollow, although a technical "win"
- it will focus on definitions in 1908, instead of having to address the blatant lying, to courts, by the admin

This is the same playbook the Trump administration ran in Portland, where DHS officials falsely accused local police of failing to help them (or not arriving quickly enough). Strikes me as a problem that the government lies so freely to the Supreme Court now. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

It’s a super expensive appetizer that doesn’t really go with anything and that you didn’t have to cook
It’s not impressive and I don’t respect it as a craft, I’m sorry
