Congrats to all the profs at elite law schools who loudly vouched for John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch when they were nominated. Hope you placed your students in some nice clerkships.

The Circuit Court ruled that Trump is not immune from persecution in Feb 2024. SCOTUS could have just declined to touch that. Instead they waited five months to say "Trump is immune on some things, not others, y'all should figure out which," and it's very clear what they're doing

“A former president is entitled to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his ‘conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority,’ ” the 6-3 ruling says. “There is no immunity for unofficial acts.” Read the full decision here:

So far, season 3 of The Bear is mixed IMO. But episode 6, directed by Ayo Edebiri, is very good.

Maybe it’s just me but I think it’s sort of pandering when The Bear casts the Illinois Governor in the show.

On one hand it's nice that Michael Powell is no longer hiding the fact that he's a tedious reactionary. On the other, it's not ideal that one of the nation's most prestigious 'liberal' magazines now almost exclusively employs tedious reactionaries.

The publisher of Atlanta Journal-Constitution with some batshit crazy stuff. Where is paper's call for Trump to step down due to being an utterly corrupt, convicted felon and found to be a rapist in a civil trial? Just absolute bonkers stuff here. This guy has made the paper an absolute joke.

The demise of Chevron is being widely interpreted as an expansion of judicial power. It is that, but it also and more profoundly an expansion of power of moneyed interests.

Long after the debate is forgotten, the 6-3 decisions overruling Chevron via Loper Bright and Jarksey will have fundamentally weakened the ability of the American government to function against the most powerful interests in society.

Same, but for me it’s areas of community reinvestment, fair lending, and the like. For me it’s decades. Gutting Chevron is soul-crushing.

I trust many folks know that many Democratic (and Republican) state and local politicians are happy with SCOTUS’ decision on Grants Pass, ie, happy to be able to criminalize homelessness.

....3/N. Leading delinquent Chicago tax buyer Allan Blair bought the taxes and owned the house that Dr. King stayed at in Chicago in 1966. He was a leading tax-lien speculator and contract-for-deed buyer. He was also the chair of the local bar association's "ethics" committee. 🤦♂️

I’m sorry, but Atlanta needs less “civic cooperation” ala a warmed-over “Atlanta Way” and *much* more civic disruption & contestation along lines of the #StopCopCity movement and the initiative that gathered > 100,000 signatures for a (suppressed) referendum.
