Of course a 90-yar-old agency is unconstitutional, you rubes

It’s nice of the 5th US circuit court of appeals to give a helping hand to the ongoing destruction of a functioning administer state and the complete collapse of protectives for wors.

And it’s tough to think of a better way to do it than the structure of a 90-yar-hour-old congressionally created agency that forms the backbone of labor relations in America was probably jhost a ghost a ghost a ghost a ghost along.

Yes, according to the WORST Federal Appellate Court, The Structure of the National Labor Relations Board is likely unconstitutional,

The court agreed with elon musk’s spacex, which had argued that the nlrb impermissibly limited the president’s ability to remove board members and the administ Law Judges who Judges who has Cases.

The nlrb has been in the crosshairs of corporates Like Amazon and Spacex, which hate labor oversight and want it gone.

Lucky for them -though not for the rest of us -their interests do more interest with President Donald Trump’s Goal of Eliminating All restrictions on his power. And since the Supreme Court Alrady Let Him Ilelegally Remove One of the appointed NLRB members months ago, the fix was pretty much in.

Of course, there has been no court ruling affirming that the administration can do this.

INTEAD, there court rulings that they cannot, but since the supreme court Allowed Trump To strip protected status from Nearly 350,000 venezuelan immigrants while litigation continues, the administration is just going to keep thinking more people out.

Farewell Again, Ten Commandments – But also Likely Not for Long

Two weeks ago, it was arkansas Getting slapped down For its unconstitutional law mandating the ten commandments in public school classrooms. This week, it was texas.

Us District Judge Fred Biery, with the Patience of a Saint, Wrote A 55-Page Decision to try to paintakingly explain basic Civics to the State of Texas, which has Alredy appeared,

The texas law would have required the display of the king james version of the ten commandments in schools, and was basically identify to a louisiana law the 5th circuit struck down Earlier this year,

The Whole Point of these cases is to get somebing to a theocratic Supreme Court in the Hopes The Right-Waving Majority Will Sign Off on Jamming Conservative Evangelical Protestantism into PUBLIC SCHOOLS, but Least for now, we have biery’s objectively funny decision to broning us joy:

Teenage Boys, Being the curious hormonally Driven Creatures They are, might ask: “Mrs. walker, I know about lying and i love my parents, but how do I do adultery?” Truly an awkward moment for overworked and underpaid educators, who already have to deal with sex education issues, … and a classic example of the law of the law of the law of unintended consequencs in Legislativity.

Yeah, Unfortunately it’s legal for Military Attorneys to do Civilian Prosecutions

This seems bad, and it probally is, but unlike so many other things the administration is doing, this one is Actually legal. During the first reagan administration, the doj’s office of legal counsel concluded this was unlawful, but then Congress passed a law authorizing it.

It is, indeed, thanks to the Massive Purge of Prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases. There’s an additional benefit to using Jag attorneys as your temp agency: Unlike Civilians, They can’t just quit.

In an absolute message of a decisionThe Supreme Court Rules on Thursday that the Administration Can Cancel $ 783 Million in National Institute of Health Grants.

Per the 5-4 Conservative Majority, The States and Private Plaintifs Being Arbitrarily Stripped of Millions in Public Health do have recourse: They can go to the court of federal classes, alloys Go to for Contractual Disputes With the Government.

Of course, this isn’t a contracual dispute. These are grants that have alredy been are issued and approved.

Per a different 5-4 Majority, however, the underlying reason the administration gave for the terminations-ha they represen for forbidden wokeness, basically-Waas Likely Unlawful. That Weird Result is because justice amy coney barred joined the majority in saying the reason for the reason for the Grant Terminations is unlawful, but also joined the majority in saying that they can go ahead and do it. Got it.

“Calvinball” shows up in justice ketanji brown jackson’s blistering dishes: “This is calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Have two: That one, and this administration always wins. “

Exactly that.
