    Republicans “do not quake at the prospect of the electorate’s displeasure, especially when they’ve done so much to ensure that the will of the electorate can be thwarted with the right combination of gerrymandering and voter suppression.”

    My role as a member of the President’s Commission on the US Supreme Court precludes my comment on the pros, cons, and feasibility of Court expansion or other reforms. But I refuse to let it prevent me from retweeting deep discontent with the status quo.

    “To avoid having Jan. 6 transformed into a recurring ‘Ground Hog Day,’ the House cannot turn the other cheek on apparent threats to the Select Committee’s investigation.” It should refer McCarthy to DOJ for criminal prosecution under 18 USC sec 1505

    But of course the Court has no trouble being inconsistent. If you think the 5-justice majority would act this way if New York outsourced to private bounty-hunters a ban on all gun ownership, think again.

    When can private citizens sue others for being unvaccinated? Because if you don't think that will happen, you don't understand the law of unintended consequences.

    The immediate direct impact of Texas’ law and SCOTUS’ punt will be abortion rights, of course, but more broadly there will be an unstoppable temptation to draft nutty bounty laws in many states on many topics, right and left, which is going to be very bad for the court system.

    . is right. Welcome to Gilead.

    I argue here that "the very uncertainty over the abortion right's future cast by the actions of the Justices in the majority in last night's order shows why their reassurance about other mechanisms for bringing challenges rings hollow."

    This is a welcome and indeed essential development. But it’s no substitute for a thorough criminal investigation by DOJ, aided by grand jury subpoenas.
