If you wrote a book about US civil rights, especially in the 19th century, I would like to know about it. I also like dumb jokes.

@jbouie.bsky.social hit a lot of these points on his column. He was trying to call attention to the same things. It really is crazy how a slight change in wording without any deeper look has been the predominant choice in coverage.

Oregon, unfortunately, tried to get in on that act in mid October of that year as well.

Great use for Trump v. Hawaii. Robert's legacy just keeps getting better and better. Pro corruption, pro religious discrimination are a hell of a legacy.

My assumption is it will just push up the fat and salt b/c that's the obvious flavor components that will come back from "analyzing" sources. But paying the energy costs for that seems insane to me. If it does something else, I'd be surprised but interested.

The signing was on the 3rd so the news wrote about it on Thursday while everyone was BBQing. It's the National Plan to End Parkinson's Act.

I think our disagreement comes down to our opinions of the justices. I don't think it's possible to cite Fed 69 in good faith and come to the conclusion Roberts did. I can't believe that Roberts read, "and would afterwards be liable to prosecution" and came to the conclusion he came to honestly.

The examples they use come from briefs they have. I'm sure they don't read every brief, but the examples are discussed in circulating drafts. A dissenter doesn't hold back historical examples just for their opinion without making the argument to the other justices.

Also, the reason they rely on briefs is b/c they're not trained in historical research b/c that's not a part of legal curriculum, which indicates something about Originalism. That's not even getting into the absence of any historical sources of the Founders saying we should abandon common law.

They know. Dissents generally point out conflicting historical authorities showing there wasn't a consistent historical practice. Those inconsistencies are generally ignored. Both pro and con examples almost always come from briefs, so they know well in advance of the opinion that is not clear

Do you think Hamilton meant monarchist in the sense of an actual king instead of a lifelong executive, or do you think he meant it more in the Adams sense of a singular executive, or do you think Adams bugged him so much he meant something not quite distinct but definitely not what Adams meant?

I'd put him ahead of Rehnquist, Fuller, or Waite at this point. If Fuller had written Plessy or Waite had written US v Harris, then maybe it'd be a tie for second.

That discussion with Stephens, Goldberg, Healy and Bouie in the NYT was embarrassing. Only Bouie seemed to have any grounding in reality and was really the only one who tried to form an argument based on more than personal vibes.

There was a 30% decline in viewership from last campaign season's debates. I'm assume b/c most of us already know how we're voting and don't feel like listening to that crap. I don't know if the press is banking on that and trying to shift opinion through headlines, but it kind of feels that way.

This is great. Yesterday SCOTUS issued an opinion where they screwed up b/c they didn't know the difference between nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. Today they are saying only they are smart enough to make decisions about complicated things like nitrogen oxide. It's fucking wonderful. /s/

Who still showed up after a group in support of the protest marched around chanting "Jews will not replace us"and failed to condemn them. It's very much a "What do you call a group of people sitting with a Nazi?" problem.

Sure would be a shame if they all looked to John Quincy Adams. I guess we should start petitioning our congress people so they have Petitions to present.

The John Quincy Adams ploy seems like it could pay off big here since the media seemed to get over the issue pretty quickly even though it's hugely consequential.

Lincoln directly criticized Stephen's '54 Kansas Nebraska act as a failure of congress to uphold the Constitution. You don't compromise the Constitution b/c it's politically expedient. His Peoria speech on the passage of the KNA goes through a history of the broken compromises.

In Oregon it looks like we're seeing some of it. It's a weird circumstance b/c the effect is concentrated in 1 county that has lots of other problems & the county is geographically small & on the state line so there's not big costs w/ moving out of the county or state. www.wweek.com/news/2024/04...

You can go and read Blackstone. Commentaries came out during the revolutionary period and has basically been the foundation of American jurisprudential thinking from then until about the early 20th century. It does not make that argument.

In the 80s, just seeing something was on Slash records was enough to shell out a considerable sum of money. Odds were you never heard anything about the record at all. It could be Pogues, or Wreckless Eric, or Rachel Sweet or Lena Lovich. You had no idea what it would sound like or what genre.

In Michelle Nickerson's Mother's of Conservativism she did a good job of showing these old OC/Reagan conservatives had relied on some groups with pretty Birchian ideas and tendencies.
