5th Cir. Judges Elrod, Willett, and Wilson hold in Knife Rights v. Blanche that knives are "arms" under the 2nd Am. The Fed. Switchblade Act—criminalizing the interstate transport, introduction, or distribution of switchblades—is unconstitutional. This seems correct to me.

Ca5 strikes down the Federal Switchblade Act, holding that knives have been used throughout human history, thus switchblades are arms protected by 2A.

The Chatrie geofencing case is now on remand back to the 4th Circuit for argument on the legality of the warrant. Main briefs: DOJ: drive.google.com/file/d/1KMU… Chatrie: drive.google.com/file/d/1g7N… Also, my SCOTUS amicus brief that covers this in Section II: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…

The Crunchwrap supreme, is that farm to table? Excellent. Excellent. And the Baja Blast, is that locally sourced? Beautiful, great. We’ll have both for the table.

Never lied, I just doubled down on wrong information.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Amacher did not merely double down on wrong information; he posed as Talarico's cousin and fabricated a patient verification code to contact the Lindner Center. texastribune.org/2026/10/13/jam… snopes.com/fact-check/tal… rawstory.com/maga-operative… x.com/RheinAmacher/s…

Marshall’s personal lawyer told the Star that Marshall was responsible for determining the 18% interest rate and admitted “it’s started to appear he might have been the only medical provider” to do so

Supreme Court: Herrera-Salazar v. US. Justices Sotomayor and Gorsuch respect the denial of certiorari in a case involving a convicted illegal who was subsequently deported (rendering his case moot). They are concerned with whether illegal reentry raises Double Jeopardy. Huh!

You were not put on this planet to have an opinion on the Kelly Clarkson vs. Brooklyn toy shop debacle. You just weren't. You need to call your mother, take up Spanish, cook dinner for your friends, go for a walk, meditate on your sins
