Great moment for judicial behavior folks who study principal-agency.

He went for the base to get Bush elected twice. Played for the lowest common denominator. His candidate played stupid and used phrases like "fuzzy math." Constant appeals to racism. Cozy with Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond. But he can't figure out how we got to this place. OK.

Looking forward to reading this. Deference just ends up with the Justices fighting over what the word clearly means until eventually it covers everything they want to overturn and nothing else.

I'm not sure the last time Neil had to review a 50 page complaint and compare it to a 51 page amended complaint. Or review a 300 page set of mortgage servicing guidelines. But I can promise you that AI absolutely shines in a number of critical areas and it's only going to get better over time. 2/2

Oh I don't think it's because of self-preservation at all. I think Neil has lots of integrity and calls it like he sees it. My point is that practitioners *can't afford* to turn a blind eye to this incredibly productive tool. K&E just committed 500 million so this applies to both large and small.1/2

2164 has the most insane history. Started with "bona fide member of a recognized religious organization" and then got expanded all the way to "sincere religious belief" before getting the legislative knife.

It's a massive distinction not hair splitting. Finding there's no constitutional Birthright citizenship puts him with the other three judges. This was really 5-4 in very important ways.

I guess if you start from the premise that AI cant get basic facts right, the rest of the argument flows pretty easily. My opinion is that the reality is a great deal more nuanced. The goal of AI isnt replacing people like Neil. It is providing legal help to people who have no representation at all.

Genuinely think people are taking their eye off the ball here. Trump doesn't care about the slush fund. He wants immunity from the IRS.

My gut is the tea party was not just racial and anti-establishment but generational as well. The GOP got younger as a result. The Dems are so old right now but you don't push out old insiders with young insiders. It takes outsiders.

I think they opened themselves up to criticism by making offers to three or four guys before Brown. I'm mostly fine with the way he coached the team but I'm disappointed that he hasn't been able to get Mitch and Kat working together.

Taking issue with an attorney using an AI tool to do what used to be a basic part of their job really misses the point though.

“I have nothing to hide. Absolutely nothing,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told a Senate committee yesterday. Perhaps that’s true—but given his recent history, don’t bet on it. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Howard Lutnick’s Epstein Story Doesn’t Make Any Sense
The commerce secretary has no answer for his misleading statements about his dealings with the sex offender.

The shift from robotics is totally consistent with my long time view of Musk. He is an extraordinary visionary but an awful manager. Comes up with brilliant ideas which become tremendous companies and then starts running them into the ground until he is replaced.

He didn't deliver affordable evs? Weird take. SpaceX is the only reliable platform the United States has to get to space. He's generally a terrible person but erasing his accomplishments doesn't help imo.

Who gives a shit? He's 83-104 without Brady. Plus he's a cheater with Spygate and deflategate on his record. Save the outrage for something and someone important.

Gorsuch is also a leading voice on overturning the Insular cases. There's a case to be made that he's the most anti-colonialist Justice in the history of the court.
