Yesterday, I posted a description of (and link to, to prevent @kenwhite.bsky.social from getting stabby) Justice William G. Young's remarkable ruling in the case regarding the US maladministration's efforts to curb-stomp the first amendment, at least as it applies to non-citizens.

If you didn't want to read it, or even the final dozen pages that are so worthwhile, Chris Geidner ("Law Dork") has a post about it today which I couldn't improve upon if I tried. Do read that.

In any case, Judge Young, a spry 85 years young, is hitting three times as hard as the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post combined - with one hand tied behind his back, because he has to observe the necessities of writing while in his post within the judicial branch. He has earned a place in the honour rolls with this ruling, if he hadn't already done so before.

Judge's deportation ruling is a lesson for all in the Trump era
