Sick old bastard is #dogwhistling the fringe right hard again. #unifiedreich anyone? #dictator for one day only? Forget about that, #democracy and the #ruleoflaw clearly are on the ballot. #UnitedStates #NeverTrump


I’ve noted before how Trump himself is treating the trial as an attempt to belittle and weaken judicial institutions as a whole, part of his ongoing attack on #RuleOfLaw. Costello’s performance today was part and parcel of this tactic. For a lawyer to be complicit in such a project is utterly reprehensible. 2/


Despite Trudi Warner's case for contempt of court (for holding a placard reminding a jury of its ability to acquit on moral grounds in a climate protest case) being thrown out by the UK High Court because it was 'fanciful', the Tory Solicitor General Robert Courts has decided to appeal the decision.

in the words of @goodlawproject:

'this case exposes the warped priorities of a government with no answers to big problems such as the climate crisis'
