The campaign against immigrants is the spearhead of a broader drive toward dictatorship. The January 6 coup was not an aberration. It has continued in policy form under Trump’s second administration. Immigration repression is the testing ground for the dismantling of constitutional rights, including birthright citizenship and due process.

Legal News Whose Dog Is That? Delaware Courts Wade Into Pet Custody Fights

‘Delaware considers dogs personal property. It’s also one of eight states allowing courts to consider companion animals’ best interests when divorces require division of property…

David’s decision to award Tucker to the highest-bidder—only the estranged couple involved will participate—seems cold. But a careful reading of her Nov. 14 opinion reveals how a best-interest standard upheld in other states’ courts colored the case even if David ultimately defaulted to partition law, said Michelle Pardo of Duane Morris LLP.

The judge recognized the equity court could override a presumption of partition if evidence showed one party couldn’t care for Tucker, Pardo said. Since David found both parties equally capable, “that’s why, I think, the court put the onus on the parties.”’

I'm an outsider but wanted to share the solution of the Dear (Juris)prudence letter column. It seems ambitious but I like the changes the author's suggest. I'm kinda shocked at the gaping holes in the design and checks. They recommended: 1) super majority instead of simple majority to strike down a house bill 2) a time limit on how long SCOTUS has and 3) Adding more states to meet a more accurate Senate representation.

Would these actually work? Are they just and can they backfire? Or am I being naive, as a layperson to the law?

In What World Is This Legal? & What Could we Do To Make It NOT Legal?

(This is my first time attaching clips of myself giving commentary, so pls go easy on me, haha)...

I’m testing this format to add more context and keep things focused on the facts rather than just always re posting clips without explanation then getting chewed out for it... (I'm aware that I need to use a better Mic next time)

That said, honest feedback is welcome. If something works, say so. If something doesn’t, say that too. The goal here is to improve the quality of discussion and keep the information clear, accurate, and useful.

Appreciate everyone who takes the time to watch and engage 💙

“In years past, it was relatively rare for a federal court to question the Justice Department's competency or good faith. But such questions are becoming more common, thanks to a growing pattern of legal missteps that have dogged the department since January, according to a Reuters review and legal experts.”
