This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects.

In the hope of rising above our current political panic, I offer thoughts on what the crisis of the Revolution says to us today. As a historian, I know that panicky political decisions do NOT lead to good solutions
In that sense, the crisis of 1776 speaks to our own

The Biden "regime's totalitarian grip"...from the Claremont Institute. Right. A regime grounded on free and fair elections, constitutional restraints, and the rule of law. All of which were attacked in yesterday's GOP SCOTUS decision. What nonsense.

The ruling "cannot be the rule for any functioning democracy." Granting a president immunity for trying to overthrow an election "removes the principal check on presidential abuses of authority in our democratic system: the vote...It is in this sense that the Court’s opinion is truly lawless."

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

"With fear for our democracy, I dissent," is about as bedrock and terrifying and vital a statement as you're going to get. That's a line you spraypaint on walls, that you ink into your skin. And it's chilling that it is necessary to say at all.

in practice, presidents have been enjoying a lot of immunity. This codifies it in a way that's quite alarming in the abstract, but even more alarming in the case considered. The decision references Trump's discussions with Pence about trying to interfere with the EC vote counting as "official"

Isn’t the whole *point* of corruption to abuse the powers of your office? If you apply this to policing—arrests are within the authority of the police—then all arrests are cool without any recognition that the choice to arrest may be influenced by bribery or other factors?

Welp.
I think we’ll hear about presidential immunity from SCOTUS today.
The fact that this is an open question is stunningly wrong-headed.
You certainly can’t claim the founders wanted it.
Or rather, you can.
But you’d be wrong.
Here’s a brief explaining why.
