* Why is the Diddy defense leading with by saying Diddy is a sex abuser?
* “If people wanted evidence that wealth and power confer a certain degree of impunity, they would have a lot of evidence for that. … And cases like this have been challenging that assumption.”
* A very interesting Supreme Court exchange on the “catch me if you can” dynamic of what would happen if the courts no longer wielded national injunction power (this in consideration of the Trump deportation cases.)
* “The government keeps losing. This isn’t one judge in New York, this isn’t one judge in D.C., these are judges across the country.”
* The repeated threats being made against judges and Klasfeld’s interview with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) [https://www.allrisenews.com/p/sheldon-whitehouse-interview]
* On a big ruling on federal worker rights, the contrast of political bombast versus court filings and one Milwaukee judge citing Trump v. U.S. in her defense.
