Who’s keeping track of all the court cases against the people responsible for this shit?
I mean - there are court cases?
Aren’t there?
@JohnPhilpin This newsletter offers commentary on executive branch powers and the modern presidential model generally, so I assume lots of it will discuss the various court cases too. Two great experts.
@ablerism and 🔗first out of the box doesn’t exactly do that but the EO process described is akin to “don’t ask for permission now - ask for forgiveness later” … though we all know that part two won’t ever happen - but you get the drift.
@JohnPhilpin Yeah—though I did hear Goldsmith say recently that the legal strategies employed are subpar, gonna come back to bite them… so, we wait?
@ablerism umm - but will they? the tenor of the argument appears to be that in T1 they were being stopped before they even started - now it is all just being rubber stamped by DOJ and AG and off it goes before anyone knows - then someone needs to quickly stop ‘em and it will go to court - and will inevitablt end up at the Supreme level - which maybe isn’t quite as despotic as the gov’ - but even before the current balance has done some pretty outlandish things.
And then there is the whole Musk and the 6 mini musks - where are those cases to stop them?
@JohnPhilpin Right — sorry, of course. I’m assuming that we’re all well aware that the situation is dire.
@ablerism That newsletter was so excellent that Damon Linker got permission to reproduce it as his entire substack post today.
