We’re considering creating a Big Cases bot that posts about the election cases. Needs a curator that is following these cases professionally. Suggestions welcome via DM.

How much of that is worse because of a speed limiter? Most of that is stuff you can already do. Fooling a GPS doesn’t seem likely at least not for most folks.

The details of this are surprisingly good! There's no reason that members of Congress should be trading single name stocks, even if it's being done on their behalf by an advisor. *SENATORS ANNOUNCE DEAL ON CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING BAN: NBC

Kinda. Best I can come up with is posting fake speed limit signs. Doesn’t feel too ripe for abuse, but maybe I’m not creative enough.

In the 19th century, justices "rode circuit"--they were not only members of the SCOTUS but also served as judges on intermediary courts (there were no separate circuit judges!). There they were *representatives* of the circuit in question. Justices were selected FROM & based on their circuit. 2/

New from me: The Supreme Court — in addition to granting Trump broad immunity — is slowly breaking the EPA, eroding its ability to write new climate rules, respond to public comments, and punish companies that pollute the air and drinking water.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

Like there's a lot they were not especially clear about, and all sorts of reasons where we shouldn't tie our own future to their past. But "Kings are bad; the President is not a King; he must be constrained by law" is one of the few things they were, to their credit, very clear about

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.
