Bonus 262: “One First” Turns Four(!?!) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s an old saw about the judge who “knows they got it right” when neither side is happy with their ruling. I’ve always hated that line. Among other things, it shifts the conversation away from what the judge actually did; a crazy ruling that pisses everybody off isn’t right—it’s just crazy. I realize that this is a strange point with which to begin a post celebrating the anniversary of this newsletter, which Karen and I launched on November 11, 2022—four(!!) years ago yesterday.

Bonus 261: The Midterms and the Courts, Part II (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yesterday’s post asked what Tuesday’s election results might mean for the Supreme Court. Today’s bonus post turns to the lower federal courts, which have been carrying most of the weight of Trump-related litigation since January 2025—and which, as of January 3, 2027, will no longer be the only institution doing so. The bottom line is a bit counterintuitive: For the next two years, the lower courts are likely to face more Trump-related cases (outside the immigration detention context, anyway, whe…
