    How so? The article is about them having Amicus briefs with the court in the very real lawsuit against Biden and selected cabinet members.

      I’m referring to the lawsuit itself. It may be “very real”, but it’s also complete nonsense.

      US courts don’t rule on political questions, nor do they decide US foreign policy, nor do they provide advisory opinions. This lawsuit fails to state a cognizable claim and seeks relief that is beyond the power of the judiciary to grant.

        The courts can’t force him to support Palestine, that’s true. But they can enforce US laws against giving weapons and aid to war criminals. That seems to fall pretty neatly under “do everything possible to stop Israel”.

        Acting like this is above our laws is not going to help us or them.
