Family man is generally motivated to make sure he keeps a job and is less likely to jump ship so all things equal probably more valuable.

Would you attack a parade of police outfitted in swat gear not in the middle of a riot?

It means it isn’t a relatively good investment. The goal is to make housing affordable without decreasing eh value of housing. If wages grew 5% pa, housing prices grew 3% pa, and inflation 2% pa, then housing would become relatively cheaper without eliminating the equity in homes.

To be explicit, Scalia famously made a point of hiring some clerks that didn’t share his view to try to better understand different perspectives.

Well look at all of the self dealing DOGE found. NYT was…against that and those numbers dwarf what they are reporting here.
And to your point re uniparty there is zero appetite to fix it because some republicans are in on it too.

This doesn’t really make sense. If you shut down Harvard’s STEM stuff, why wouldn’t most of it end up over the Charles at MIT or down the 95 corridor at Yale or across the country at Cal Tech? The researchers don’t disappear. The other universities could scoop them up.

The problem for them is that it’s mostly illiquid. So you’d have to borrow against it.

The last attempt was literally in 2024 (albeit the Republican wasn’t currently president but of course had been president and was running again)
You also had the Bernie supporter targeting the republicans in the congressional baseball game.

Well there is also the point that we don’t really care about covid deaths; we care about deaths. Sweden all cause death for the period looks great! Even better than the #s you posted.

Well, I would say the more you had separate groups with apparent intelligence that was buried (eg Germans), the more you look foolish for saying they did solely prophylactically.

His post continued to ignore the fact that governments seem to have info that they buried that supports the lab leak (eg Germany).

I’m not suggesting that is the primary benefit. But if the stated rationale for the human rights violation doesn’t produce any benefits as evidenced by Sweden, then that’s even stronger argument against those violations.

I’m not saying a single overturned injunction; a single overturned national injunction.
If it is so important for them, a single district judge, to make a national ruling, then they ought to have some skin in the game.

How about bring overturned on a national injunction is evidence of bad behavior and therefore removal is merited? That is, a judge should only do it in the most extreme clear situations?

I think it’s 5-4 with ACB being on the liberal side. Government got the harder of the question but BK made the most impactful point re asymmetry of the outcome and Roberts understands institutionally forum shopping nationwide injunctions increases the frictions between the branches in a way that will cause a constitutional crisis. ACB reads too much of the NYT.

A few points:
-
If the argument is “it doesn’t matter SCOTUS will decide anyhow,” then (1) maybe not due to cert denial, (2) maybe yes but if SCOTUS sided with the 499/500, then an injustice occurred potentially for years, and (3) if trying to solve time then legal issues don’t get to evolve within multiple rulings to tease out the thorny issues.
-
DOJ discussed long standing precedent that the general rule is they respect the opinion and judgement but they reserve the right to respect only the judgement. Notably, this is a historic precedent something that the DOJ actually pursued while Kagan was solicitor genera. However, the DOJ stated they would respect both the opinion and judgement of SCOTUS.

I don’t think it’s that crazy of a position. First, the problem with national wide injunctions without classes is the asymmetry of the outcome. 500 different plaintiffs can bring the lawsuit in different district courts. 1/500 needs to win if the judge gives a nationwide injunction. Contrast with a class where the plaintiffs are in fact bound by a loss.
Second, the idea the government would in fact look for not yet born residents to impose something where there is direct SCOTUS authority is a hypothetical that is so far out there compared to the first concern because the government would quickly lose (eg new plaintiff would say there is a scotus case directly on point).
The issue is a bit less “Will Iran strike Israel with nukes” and more “Will Iran feel more degrees of freedom to attack Israel since an Israel’s response will need to be measured.”
