No justice could deny that Trump’s EO violates the 1952 Act of Congress conferring citizenship on exactly the same children born in the US whose citizenship the EO tries to erase. A 9-0 decision so holding would leave Congress free to try Trump’s move if it was as racist as he is.

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/h...

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!

“Giving in to bullies has its own costs, not least because bullies are never satisfied with just a single capitulation. Especially when, as with the law firms, the bully — that is, the Trump administration — was obviously playing a weak legal hand from the start.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/o...

Jenna Griswold played a key role in arguing for Trump’s 14th Am Sec 3 disqualification from the presidency after he was found guilty in a state court of insurrection agnst the Constitution. That she wasn’t the oral advocate is obviously irrelevant. Accusing her of misleading anyone is indefensible.

“In just over a year since taking office, Mr. Trump has authorized military action in seven nations, even after he repeatedly promised American voters that he would end, not start, wars.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...
