2025-2026 Supreme Court Term Preview
🕑 Added 2025-09-23 08:00:07 +0000 UTCYou are getting very sleepy…you are getting very sleepy…HEY! Wake up. It may look like the slate of cases for this Supreme Court term doesn’t have many fundamental constitutional rights hanging in the balance, but don’t be lulled into thinking any of this is low stakes. Voting rights, trans people in sports, the death penalty—they’re still on that legal fascism grind, down to every little gear and lever.

It took me waay too long to see a a fellow grammar n**i comment, and I was so hung up about it, I didn’t even get to Rhiannon’s sentence tree comment. PS: The correct verbiage would be “…like a journalist *who has* tweeted about CK.” So close Peter!

Potential shadow docket case this year? Just learned about the recent expansion of the definition of terrorism to include anyone who isn't a conservative christian nationalist (not literally, but that seems to be the underlying principle). Someone is going to challenge this in court, right? Right off the bat I see violations of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the 14th amendment equal protection. I know they've already done a lot of damage to the 1st and 14th amendments and any case about this will end in them tossing more rights in the garbage, I just wanted to know if anyone else is panicking a bit (more than usual) over this one too.
