as to the tenants, the settlement requires Merryman to work to "eliminate millions of dollars in eviction filings and judgments involving former tenants, removing a major barrier to future housing"
AND
it gives those tenants right of first refusal to buy the housing Merryman is forced to sell

My favorite little detail in that is Judge Merryman correcting Trump’s lawyers’ German grammar by capitalizing “Zeitgeist” for them
(I don’t think a German loan word needs to be capitalized in English, but then again I’d expect Trump’s lawyers ought to be well-read in the original German)

Ironically, the Civil War was won by ignoring some Supreme Court decisions. Dred Scott, Ex parte Merryman spring to mind. Doubtless others. Not my area.
Their word is not final.
Fuck 'em.

5-4 for what it explicitly says in the constitution is incredible. They were this close to undoing the civil war entirely. bsky.app/profile/mjsd...
The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's attack on birthright citizenship. By a 5–4 vote, it holds that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born of unauthorized and temporary immigrants. Roberts and Barrett join the three liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The correct response was a military tribunal, and to follow the example of Lincoln in ex parte Merryman if SCOTUS objected.
Instead we even left Flynn and other conspirators like the secret service agents in positions of power. Failed to do the basic requirement of a head of government.

Say his name. David Merryman. Just saying VA landlord is not good enough. It should read racist pig landlord named David Merryman

Racist landlord headed to prison for stealing identities of Black tenants to get COVID benefits
He primarily rented to poor Black tenants who had nowhere else to live. The homes were in awful condition with holes in the ceilings and walls, leaks and rodent activity.

“The privilege of the writ could not be suspended, except by act of congress.” Ex Parte Merryman, 17 F. Cas. 144, 148 (C.C.D. Md. 1861).
Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.
