And every time BigLaw #resistance lawyer Neal Katyal makes an appearance on MSNBC, remember his similarly fawning endorsement of Gorsuch.

The experience with judges standing up to executive abuses under authoritarian regimes is… not encouraging. (See, e.g., Hilbink, Judges beyond Politics in Democracy and Dictatorship.)

This strikes me as correct. The exclusionary rule the court announced (i.e., pulled out their arses) will undoubtedly be used to create mischief in the NY case.

“How to Design a Revolution” was such an excellent exhibition. As you point out, it was precisely because they went deep into a specific historical moment in a particular country in a way that’s not possible by treating an entire region as an undifferentiated whole.

As always with stuff like this I think of Juan Linz and his basically correct conviction that the United States is a country determined to shed any accidentally remaining vestiges of parliamentary tradition and fully join its wider continent’s proud tradition of Authoritarian Presidentialism.

Legal pundits over time Dec 1, 2023: SCOTUS will reject Trump's appeal on an expedited basis Dec 22, 2023: They are letting the DC Circuit handle it to not even dignify it. Feb 28, 2024: The are taking the case on appeal but will completely reject the claim. June: SCOTUS says Trump is your God/King

“The campaign isn’t over yet. But we’re at a fork in the road. It feels a bit like leafing through one of those old Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books, except every branching path somehow ends with ‘and then an ogre devours your skull.’ Every option from here is risky, and the stakes are existential.”

There is a *very* sharp paragraph in Justice Kagan's dissent in Loper Bright on the dance this conservative majority has performed repeatedly to weaken liberal precedents en route to overturning them altogether -- on worker's rights, on the Establishment Clause, and on voting rights.

Biden is too old. But he has surrounded himself with competent people and has had a conventional first term. Trump is authoritarian but inept. He has surrounded himself with people he hopes will make him more effective at authoritarianism. Neither is ideal. But these are not similar problems.

Some quick takeaways on the failed "coup" attempt in Bolivia. 1. This was not a serious coup, meaning a planned one that enjoyed wide support among the military and had a strong chance of succeeding. It was more one general's claim of wrongful termination, backed up by a platoon and tanks. 🧵
