     Steve Perryman:

     "Project 2025 is not just a document about the next presidential administration—or what could be the next presidential administration. It’s a manifesto that reflects actual things that are happening in our courts today. For those of us that have the privilege of being lawyers or court watchers, part of our work is to look this extremism in the face and not blink or deny it, but to understand that it is here and that we all have work to do to combat it."

     @MarvClowder Judge shopping is how the far-right gets everything it wants. The fifth circuit is lousy with dishonest, corrupt reactionaries.

     Also in Project 2025 is the plan to use enforcement of the Comstock Act to restrict medication abortion nationally, and we’ve seen that start to appear in legal filings in various lower courts.

     So you’re trying to respond to a concerted, sprawling decadeslong effort by the Leonard Leos of the world, the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, to turn the courts into the thermonuclear device that blows up pluralistic, tolerant, broad-based democracy in service of special interests.

     And what you’re saying is, it can just be a matter of filing it in Matthew Kacsmaryk’s court. It doesn’t have to be the way it was in the past, when it was achieved through tiny, incremental wins...
