There is nothing law-like or court-like about the latest shadow docket decision from the Roberts Court, which stays a district court decision throwing out Texas’s mid-decade gerrymander due to racial basis. The majority simply ignored: the lower court, its own precedents re deference to lower court fact-finding, and the clear evidence. Just an edict to protect the Republican Fascists’ power. 1/ #Lawfedi

 The Guardian with a deep dive into Hegseth’s disdain for military law and the Geneva Conventions, as expressed by Hegseth himself. Includes very useful comments from former JAG lawyer.
“This [Bradley giving a no quarter order on his own initiative] seems implausible. Bradley is an experienced officer who by virtue of his rank and position would be intimately familiar with the laws of armed conflict.
