💯 I am not a safe space for talk of escape to Europe or Canada. All I hear is that you are selfish, cowardly, and either wildly well-resourced or deluded about your prospects abroad

I am reading a novel, and then another novel. I am on vacation and you can't make me read a whole supreme court opinion. And I wish for all of us that we come to live in a country where no one needs know the names of justices or care what they say

The Supreme Court’s ruling putting presidents above the law must be understood not simply as a grant of immunity for past crimes, but an enthusiastic endorsement of those he will commit if given the chance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

As someone who works at the agency (NOAA) that just lost Relentless, I would like to welcome the Justices to fisheries management 101. I have six pages of acronyms you will need to learn. I’m assuming you have already taken PhD level classes in Bayesian statistics and are a fluent R programmer.

Also, it is ironic that the unintentional legislative architect of institutional conscience rights was Sen. Frank Church (D-ID). He thought his Church Amendment was a minor concession to religious hospitals that would have little impact. Notably, he insisted it wouldn’t apply in an emergency. Sigh.

As to Catholic healthcare stories go a long way (Tamesha Means, Jessica Mann). As do statistics--Washington cannot protect repro rts b/c 40%+ of its hospitals refuse abortion/sterilization/contraception. Without EMTALA, the same denial of emergency care we see in TX will occur across the country

I think the simplest top-line story is that the Court is waiting until after the election to issue a bad decision that eviscerates protections for pregnant people in crisis. The Biden administration has already asked the Court to take up the same issue in a case out of TX

I will confess that I think they probably ultimately would have gotten to #2 through RFRA rather than statutory interpretation but at least make the hospitals stand up and say that they want to kill women. But that's apparently too much to ask

35.3% of U.S. counties have a high or dominant Catholic hospital market share. This is potentially a VERY big deal for "blue states," which are most likely to be dominated by hospitals with Catholic restrictions health.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-...

2. Barrett/Rob/Kav adopt a radical interpretation of federal conscience laws (conceded by the SG as part of a, as it turns out, foolhardy strategy). Hospitals, they say, bear no EMTALA duties where they have a "conscientious" objection. This is new. Religious hospitals thought EMTALA applied to them

Note two radical futures portended by the conservative justices' opinions: 1. Alito/Thomas/Gorsuch would hold that EMTALA not only does not require but also bans emergency abortions. Across the country, ER docs would have to treat a fetus/embryo as co-equal to (or superior to?) the pregnant person

As @joshchafetz.bsky.social says, this is a massive election year gift to the Republican Party. Instead of the consequences of right-wing extremism being fully on display, the story will be a "muddled legal landscape" with the suggestion that federal law can save us from red state legislatures.

ADF also argued that not granting this charter violates the free exercise clause. That's supreme court bait, and it would mean that the state constitutional provisions justifying disallowing the funding don't matter. This is basically an upside down version of the religious school funding cases

I agree that the appropriate policy response would be to end charters and just invest in public schools. The obstacle, I think, is that these policies are set at the state level -- whereas everyone experiences schooling locally

This decision from the Oklahoma Supreme Court--holding that public charter schools can't be religious--is going straight to the Supreme Court. And there's a very high risk that the court will fundamentally undermine public schooling

Dear Reporters,
If you’re interviewing a theocrat who says “all our laws are based on the Ten Commandments” and you don’t immediately ask them to provide evidence and examples for that laughably stupid claim, just go ahead and quit your job.

Here's a first post: Can you distinguish real Supreme Court justices doing “history-and-tradition” from parody?
