the Government Lawyers Oversight Watchdog

Not sure how truthy this is, but I would like to believe that there's are some lawyers out there who still believe in justice and ethics.

Resolute Desk in Mar a Lardo? WTF!

Apparently, OUR desk is on display at TSF's home in FL. Why is this allowed?

TSF won't release the Epstein Files, and it comes down to this

Either he is guilty of a lot of nasty stuff, or he is complicit and has been involved in blackmail. Either way, he needs to be in prison.

What's this about TSF and Bubba?

So who is Bubba and did he have a happy ending?

Does Trump swallow?

Can we see the emails about this?

Or is this all bullshit?

Freedom of Expression is gone now

Our government wants to review the full social media history of any student wanting to come into our country. https://thecostaricanews.com/us-visa-new-social-media-requirement-for-those-ticos-wanting-to-study-in-the-united-states/
US Visa: New Social Media Requirement for Those Ticos Wanting to Study in the United States

I find this to be completely against everything we are for. Freedom of expression is one of our basic rights. What are we telling the rest of the world when we do this?
Will you not be allowed in if you speak out against pedophilia?

Conservative Warning To Judges: Get On Board With Trump's Agenda Or Get Impeached

Source: Above the Law

Bold plan for dealing with district court judges floated at the FedSoc Lawyers Convention.
The Federalist Society’s annual lawyers meeting is going on in Washington D.C., and yesterday there was a panel on Judicial Oversight of District Courts after Trump v. CASA, limiting lower courts’ ability to issue universal injunctions to block the enforcement of policies. Though conservatives won that case, and have a wildly partisan win rate at the Supreme Court, panelist Chad Mizelle, former chief of staff to the Attorney General, still finds plenty to complain about.

Mizelle’s comments called out district courts that have tried to place constitutional speed bumps on the Trump agenda. Like his former boss, Mizelle says these are liberal judges that aren’t acting in good faith (never mind that Reagan-appointed judges are leading the charge). And he knows what we should do about it. Impeach them.

It looks like the conservatives are eating their own. I love it.

Where is our Project 2027?

We proved today that the Democratic Party has the power. Now we need to start planning what we will do after next year's elections.

What are the big issues and how can we make those changes?

Example: we NEVER would be in this sad state of it wasn't for Citizens United. What can we do to undo that awful decision? There are many steps, one is impeachment, another is adding more justices. There are a long list of things that have to happen for this to occur. Document them all on this paper.

Tax the living shit out of the billionaires- wealth tax, income taxes on all their stock options, hire an army of wealth averse tax auditors for the IRS... Get back the money that the GOP has been transferring from the middle and lower classes to the billionaires.

What else is on our dream list? Redistricting, Universal Healthcare, repair of all Trump's damage... We need a list, and all the steps to implement it. Just like the conservatives did with their Project 2025.

Ours will be in two phases- 2027 and 2029. Some of this can begin now, some will need help from the mid-terms.

Who will pay for ICE's damage?

Who will pay for all those lawsuits that ICE will cause? All those broken ribs, kicked in doors, tear gassed children and more. This will definitely cause a lot of lawsuits. I fear that as taxpayers, we will get stuck with the bill. I'm not thrilled that it will be my taxes that pay for these sons of bitches and their asshole lack of judgement.

One suggestion, though I don't know how to do it, would be to force these expenses on to the GOP. They are the ones who have promoted & praised all this destruction - so it only seems fair that they should have to pay for it. They have lots of billionaires with deep pockets and this war on the taxpayers was funded by these assholes. They can pitch in, or not. If the GOP goes bankrupt and disappears I won't lose sleep.

the BigLaw Spine Index

https://abovethelaw.com/2025/04/biglaw-is-under-attack-heres-what-the-firms-are-doing-about-it/

This legal blog has published a table of the top 200 law firms in the US along with their reactions to TSF and has attacks on them. They call it the 'Biglaw Spine Index'.

It's worth publishing elsewhere, to shed a light on those firms with a backbone and those who don't.
