@EWess92 Not to be an angry conservative, but Scalia knew how to have fun in his writing without debasing it. It's possible to do, these judges just choose not to! 3.9K views · 116 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

I'll "cash out" here. (An note, btw, "costs to appellees" is a little ambiguous as to whether appellee is assigned to pay or receive costs. Given the affirmance, I assume the latter.) Read the opinion here: https://t.co/apEPV9bqNc https://t.co/aw1y2WJfBA

I often enjoy when a judge has a little fun with an opinion. A pun here or there. I think that this type of writing is not to my taste though. Header: "Our Two Cents." Spoiler alerts in text. Lots of contractions and conversational asides. It doesn't click for me. https://t.co/hm

Can a man who won $1b+ in a lottery and tried to keep it secret sue his baby mama in federal court for spilling the beans? No, per Judge Roe. "Just kidding -- Judge Thompson authoring here." The least formal appellate judicial writer strikes again. Her style is unique https://t.c

@EWess92 On the bright side, Missouri Republicans might finally realize they need to fix their judiciary, much like Utah did when their state Supreme Court messed with its maps. 1.4K views · 67 likes · 0 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →

Can the Missouri Secretary of State be held in contempt for following a federal court order interpreting the federal constitution? The Supreme Court of Missouri has issued this super expedited contempt order to find out. And banned amici. This is getting out of hand. I'm shocked

I don't have a link to the filing, but I am inordinately skeptical that this filing is appropriate. There have been umpteen challenges to Missouri's map. All but the last one lost. Should they have been sanctioned for filing? Get real. 5.5K views · 54 likes · 4 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

Interesting choice for Missouri Democrats to weigh in, shortly before their key loss before Chief Judge Clark. Based on posts by Governor Kehoe and @AGCHanaway, it looks like the 7-1 Missouri First Map is certified and off to the printer 7.1K views · 63 likes · 4 reposts · 6 replies Open on X →

The Cook County (Chicago) public guardian sued a bunch of Department of Family Services employees alleging constitutional violations, seeking damages. Eleventh Amendment immunity? No, per Judge Rovner. Pretty weird opinion. On remand, it seems likely qualified immunity applies. h

Looking forward to the updated @nytimes article recognizing that the Missouri First Map is in effect despite Justice Kavanaugh's denial, thanks to Chief Judge Clark's order. https://t.co/7X04bbTHf8
