Absolutely wild that the court accuses the dissent of "fearmongering" with "extreme hypotheticals" when the actual basis for the indictment is a coup attempt that led to an attack on the capitol

SCOTUS is telling us that it has completely signed on to the project of a second Trump administration, which is establishing an elected autocracy.

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.

So much righteous anger in Sotomayor's dissent: "It seems history matters to this Court only when it is convenient."

As Justice Sotomayor explains, today's Supreme Court decision on Trump immunity transforms America from a land of "no more Kings" to one of "no, more Kings."

The institutions of US democracy are hanging by a thread, and the Supreme Court just frayed it. I cannot emphasize this enough: the 2024 election is effectively an up-or-down vote on Constitutional democracy. All else is secondary, because democracy and rule of law are how we address other issues.

"agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do." ❌ "The Framers anticipated that courts would often confront statutory ambiguities and expected that courts would resolve them by exercising independent legal judgment." ❌ This is a fictional rendering of history.

There is a *very* sharp paragraph in Justice Kagan's dissent in Loper Bright on the dance this conservative majority has performed repeatedly to weaken liberal precedents en route to overturning them altogether -- on worker's rights, on the Establishment Clause, and on voting rights.

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.

No need to dismantle administrative agencies in one fell swoop. The Supreme Court can just allow piecemeal litigation against them bit by bit, creating uncertainty and rendering government inadministrable for years and years—thanks to a newly discovered understanding of Our Highest Law.

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.

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

Today's decisions in Ohio v. EPA and SEC v. Jarkesy will likely not get the press that cases involving the major questions doctrine* might, but make no mistake, these are but smaller steps toward the significant limitation or elimination of regulatory agency power.

This is not what they ruled; they ruled than an injunction can stay in place while the case proceed through the lower courts. This headlines makes it sound like the Court vindicated the right to an emergency abortion; they did not.

Jackson, spitting fire: "Snyder’s absurd and atextual reading of the statute is one only today’s Court could love." Of federalism concerns: "[W]oulds, coulds, and shoulds of this nature must be addressed across the street with Congress, not in the pages of the U. S. Reports."

The OK court does a good job distinguishing charters from privates to avoid Carson v Makin but ADF will seek cert. on this issue and my sense is that the Court will expand it and Fulton to say “if you have charters at all, you can’t exclude religious ones.”

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

I think the roles are closely linked and often related. But the crux of the relationship is communication skills/capacity to break down complex ideas into comprehensible (and interesting!) chunks. There are good researchers who manage to live in spaces where they don’t practice those key skills…

Nope. Teaching is hard, highly-skilled labor that deserves attention and care everywhere — including at R1 institutions. Effective teaching is a craft that is often structurally unsupported and disincentivized, but nevertheless deeply important and rewarding.

The whole piece is about the need for accountability. Zero accountability from the NY Times editorial board about their role. They beat the campus speech drum for a decade when it was about right wing visitors to campus, but called for law and order when it was student/faculty protests.

It also runs on the idea that academics do all of this for love: — love of the intellectual work — love of the academic “lifestyle” — love of the cultural capital it supposedly brings — love of teaching Because if you love it, they don’t have to pay you a living wage or respect your time.
