Breaking: Judge Ada Brown, a Trump appointee in N.D. Texas, has blocked the FTC’s noncompete rule, limited to the named plaintiffs, in an APA challenge as likely contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious. The rule is set to go into effect in September. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I mentioned the spinelessness of Chief Justice John Roberts on @strictscrutiny.bsky.social last week, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. So, I wrote about it today at

Fun facts: Law Dork got new subscribers from 49 states and DC, as well as at least 35 countries, in June. (New paid subscribers from 40 states and DC, too!) Thanks, all.

The bottom line for me is that I just don’t have time for it. I *do* care — likely too much — and try to engage, but I have to have limits in place or I’m not going to be able to do the new work that needs to be done.

I’m manufacturing consent for fascism by not *checks notes* writing about Scalia’s death every time I write about the Supreme Court? I don’t know. I had to block them because I literally don’t have time to worry about that when there are actual stories to cover.

If you don’t follow me and you come into my mentions to attack me, I have to assume your attacks are not made in good faith because you have no context and are just spouting off. I don’t have time for that.

No? I have smart readers who understand that every story doesn’t contain all of the information in the world about it. I write about SCOTUS’s problems. A lot. And, will continue to do so.

I’m not sure what I’m “pretending.” The court is. I’m worried about its effects on real people. Until those don’t matter, I’m going to tell people what they are. … I also cover the ethical questions surrounding the court at length, so I’m not sure what you’d have me do. Just yell at them?

Steve Bannon is in prison for contempt and Rudy Giuliani just lost his N.Y. law license, but John Roberts insists that invisible ink in the Constitution prevents Donald Trump, the ringleader, from facing charges for virtually anything that Trump can claim was an official act.

The immunity decision was was another ruling — to quote Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent in this term’s earlier corruption case decision — that “only today’s Court could love.”
