One of the most powerful legal opinions I've ever read just dropped today. Judge William Young...

[Tommy Carcetti]

...Senior Judge for the District of Massachusetts, appointed to the federal bench in 1984 by Ronald Reagan.

The case concerns free speech and the administration's efforts to crack down on it.

The opinion is 161 pages long, and you don't have to read all of it.

But definitely read the:

a) Case heading

and

b. Last 13 pages

In sum, Judge Young appears to be out of all fucks to give when it comes to Donald Trump. It's truly extraordinary.

The opinion:

This is a thundering ruling by Senior U.S. District William Young (a Reagan appointee).

He writes that it's "perhaps the most important case" in his jurisdiction and writes more than a dozen pages on "JUSTICE IN THE TRUMP ERA," focused on Trump's "bullying" and "retribution."
