Courting No Favor

John Roberts kicks ass. The chief justice's supremely magisterial end-of-term majority opinion in Trump v. Barbara, the birthright citizenship case, powerfully vindicated the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment. Roberts's impressive historical analysis left the lead dissenter, Justice Clarence Thomas, looking like the bloodied loser of a Trumpian UFC cage match.

MAGA Firebrand Sparks Fresh McConnell Health Speculation

Elizabeth Frantz/REUTERSSen. Mitch McConnell is facing a fresh round of scrutiny after a MAGA firebrand cast the revelation about his health crisis as a “national security issue.” “I think this whole situation surrounding Mitch McConnell just became far more serious,” Kylie Jane Kremer, the executive director of the MAGA organization Women for America First, wrote in a lengthy post on X. After McConnell’s office spent weeks dodging inquiries from the press about his health, an emergency personnel call revealed last week that the 84-year-old senator had received CPR following an apparent heart attack on June 14. His team later said that he has been recovering at a hospital.Read more at The Daily Beast.

"Rule of Law vs. Rule of Billionaires": Supreme Court Says Trump Can Fire Regulators, Except at Fed

In a 6-3 ruling this week that overturned nine decades of precedent, the Supreme Court granted President Donald Trump the power to fire and replace officials at independent government agencies like the Federal Trade Commission. But in a separate 5-4 decision, the justices ruled that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can stay in her job as she challenges Trump’s efforts to fire her. The seemingly contradictory rulings suggest a two-tier system of regulation, says Alvaro Bedoya, a former FTC commissioner who was fired by Trump last year. The independence and stability of the Federal Reserve is important to “billionaire Wall Street Bankers,” and therefore remains protected, says Bedoya. “But then you have this whole series of other agencies that keep your toys safe, that keep health insurers from robbing people blind, that keep supermarkets from merging to make milk, eggs and beef even more expensive. The court said that all those regulators can report directly to the president and be entirely beholden to his whims.”

The decision was correct. And the reaction from the Left tells you []
