This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects.

Days after the Chevron ruling a corporate healthcare system - which doesn’t pay any taxes despite being a profit-driven business - is now suing Medicare so that they can collect more *tax dollars* w/o having to meet the standards of care set by CMS. Some CMS regulations may be silly but this is bad.

Hey, remember when Trump tried to get Comey to "let this go" with the investigation of Michael Flynn? And then Robert Mueller was like "Hey, congress, here's some very clear obstruction. I am sure you'll do the right thing." Turns out, it was all very cool and very legal.

A rabbinic colleague posted abt hosting another colleague for a book talk, & the "half-grimace, half-smile" that Guest Rabbi gave when asked if his book on Judaism was political. Which is the difference between... well, several Judaisms happening right now. Is all I probably ought say right now.

On I-5 South in Oregon “Entering Josephine County - We Honor Veterans” As long as they aren’t sleeping outside. Then we fucking lock them up in Grants Pass, the county seat. SCOTUS approves. Spare us the bullshit. If you care about veterans, you don’t fucking criminalize houselessness.

In March 2023, CJ Beryl Howell in DC ruled that Trump attorneys must testify to the grand jury pursuant to the crime-fraud exception. Today, Judge Aileen Cannon rules that because Trump "disputes" that finding, *she* can revisit it.

This is lawlessness.

"It’s not that Trump is heedless of the danger he puts his targets in — the danger is a feature, not a bug. He demands the right to sic swarms of trolls on prosecutors and jurors. Not only does he call it 'legitimate' political speech, he insists it’s vital to his campaign." -- @lizdye.bsky.social

Consider that if your method of Second Amendment jurisprudence involves a lengthy discuss of King Canute's frankenpledge system of ten-man tithings from the year 1016, then maaaaaaaaybe, just maybe, you're not doing real American law stuff in the 21st century?

DA Bragg opposes ending gag order on Trump attacking court staff and line prosecutors pending appeal. Does not oppose lifting ban on attacking witnesses, but reminds Trump that he can be sued for defamation AGAIN. Cf: Rudy's $148M find out.

I swear, MAGA types are the dumbest criminals on the planet when left to their own devices. I add that caveat because there are lots of rich MAGA types who get away with lots of crimes but I posit that that is less due to inherent capacity and more due to having lawyers on permanent retainer.
