Trump committed these crimes as a private citizen, prior to becoming president. This is ridiculous.

is torture an official act? are war crimes? both are criminal under U.S. law. what happens to presidential command responsibility? also, if POTUS is immune from prosecution, there is no complementarity. the court has made it easier for the ICC to pursue cases ag american presidents.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

If the lower court understood the present moment, this would be its response: "The court is surprised this needs to be said, but anything related to a coup attempt is not an official act. That includes all of the conduct in the indictment. Trial begins September 1st."

Last night the Israeli Stasi... eh police, again brutally attacked anti government protesters. In one of the videos an officer can heard yelling at a protester "I will rape your mother", when he's on the ground, while another officer kicks him.

Catastrophic. The fact that most watchers and of course most of us who work on regulation knew this was coming doesn’t soften the blow a bit. The modern administrative state is critical for health & social policy. Undermining it promises to worsen overall health and expand health inequalities.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

This barely made the news, which is weird, because when the law passed the crypto industry SCREAMED that this would KILL CRYPTO, and a few crypto advocates - I kid you not - compared it to the holocaust. Crypto survived. The crypto lobby will find something else to whine about, I'm sure.

On the same morning, the Court said: 1) We should not presume to know more than small town mayors regarding complex, technical questions like whether to arrest people for being poor. 2) I don't see why a "PhD" in "nuclear physics" should have any latitude to implement ambiguous energy rules.

It is impossible to overstate how blatantly anti-judicial Roberts is being here. He is simply ignoring (yes, ignoring. Strategically avoiding quoting certain words in the law), to reach a result that is clearly contrary to the plain language of the law.

Chevron famously said, "Judges are not experts in the field, and are not part of either political branch of the Government." Today, Roberts and the other chaos agents on the court say: "Judges are the only experts in any field, and can dictate policy to either political branch of the Gov't"
