It seems like federal district courts are in full revolt against SCOTUS. I've never seen such direct scathing criticism of SCOTUS like this from the bench over their shadow docket rulings quietly overturning precedent without explanation. From the Harvard decision today.

Hey Ritchie, I might care about anything you said on any subject if you weren't a literal fucking ghoul on the genocide you unseated someone to help support. In fact because you're so toxic I'd almost rather you not say anything on anything at all and just do the right thing and resign.
