Roger Parloff is a savvy and skilled legal observer, but to assume THIS Scotus will NOT relieve tRump's DOJ from contempt proceedings is ignoring the record to date. Sure, it's very likely that the DC Circuit will in an en banc decision UPHOLD Chief Judge James Boasberg's efforts in finding the government in contempt of his standing order re: Venezuelan immigrant transports to CECOT, but Scotus will grant certiorari on appeal, and are very likely to then support tRump in his "unitary executive" rôle...hope I'm wrong and Parloff is right, but recent history argues against that conclusion.

My take too. Parloff is unreasonably optimistic given that Court's track record.

Yep. It’s delusional to think SCOTUS will do anything but prop up Old Hotdog Skin.

And why should anyone go to the Smithsonian now? Just to glorify Trump‘s vision of a racist America?

Trump's base loves this white Christian nationalist vision of America that he is trying to force every institution to peddle. Whitewashed pseudo-historical twaddle! Ein volk, ein Vaterland, ein Führer. Seig!

Am thankful my children,

as young adults, got to

know the Smithsonian

and Washington exhibits

as they truly reflected

the history of our

country, before the

current white washing.

Hopefully, one day, the

real history will be

restored.

Congrats TPM on

reaching your funding

goal. This reporting is

why I help to support

you.

What’s sad about the Smithsonian cleansing is that Trump et al have never stepped foot in a single one. It’s all about indoctrination of the millions of Americans who do go to museums.

Trump's agenda should properly be called "MABABA" (Make America Blind And Bland Again) but it would never use that name because it sounds as if someone diverse is saying it

trump's attacks on universities based on "antisemitism" is grounded in the idea that supporters of Palestinians "impeded" Jewish students. But they impeded bunches of other students, too--students of undoubtedly other religions. Doesn't that mean the protestors treated all religions equally, exactly as the First Amendment demands?
