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.

There are good polls and bad polls but I don’t see how any pollster relying on phone calls is able to provide a representative sample with these kinds of numbers. It’s not a criticism of any one pollster, just an unfortunate reality.

I’d only add that: After decades of insistence that finality of state court judgments and no retroactivity are sacred, the Supreme Court can absolutely be expected to interfere with a final state-law judgment against Donald Trump, and to do so retroactively.

Moral struggle is a constant part of democracy. Fascism will always be appealing to some percentage of the population. Any philosophy that says “only My Class of People should have a say” will persist, because it’s easy to understand and appeals to the basest instincts. Ours is not to rest.

Think about the baselines here. Taney inherited a vile political system and dedicated his career to perpetuating it. Roberts inherited a system that, although flawed on any number of dimensions, sought to uphold a modest version of democratic equality. He's dedicated his career to dismantling it.

Creedal constitutionalism plus judicial supremacy plus bad democratic theory equals bad, democratically disempowering governance. We do have a power problem, it’s just not the one that a majority of very powerful judges is concerned with.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

Correct. A prudent, law-abiding President who appoints qualified agency personnel to enact thoughtful regulations is going to see their agenda inevitably fail. A malicious, arbitrary President who runs around barking illegal commands at people will be rewarded.

reflecting on the immunity decision a bit, what the Court seems to be saying is that every element of the executive branch is at the President’s disposal, no matter what he wants to use it for. his motives don’t matter. the office is a weapon to be wielded however he sees fit.

I call this the Confederacy Paradox. They separated from the Union explicitly to avoid the abolition of slavery, something that wasn’t even on the table! But by leaving the Union, they ensured a political backlash against slavery that would aim to dismantle it as the core of the rebellion.
