In 1990, the state of Illinois’s Black and Hispanic population was 22.5%. The flagship University of Illinois, where Andreesen graduated with a bachelor’s in 1993 had a total Black and Hispanic student population of **9.6%*** in 1991. So who was being discriminated against exactly?

Re-upping from Thursday: Some are defending #SCOTUS’s repeated (unexplained) interventions to put blocked Trump initiatives back into effect as the justices saving their capital for bigger cases to come. Even if that’s accurate, it’s worth unpacking the very real costs of this kind of appeasement:
stevevladeck.com
Bonus 165: The Appeasement Thesis
One defense of the Court's behavior on Trump-related emergency applications is that the justices are picking their battles. If so, the question becomes which battles they actually intend to fight.

After recapping #SCOTUS news, today's "One First" looks at Attorney General Bondi's letters to tech companies purporting to "irrevocably relinquish" their liability for violating the TikTok statute. Parliament abolished the King's "dispensing" power in 1689, and it has no place in U.S. law, either:

165. TikTok and the Dispensing Power
Attorney General Bondi's TikTok-related letters rest on a view of presidential power that has no support in even the most capacious understandings of the "unitary executive" theory.

Another take from me on the most recent SCOTUS term, in Verfassungsblog: "In several different decisions, [SCOTUS] gave a boost to the Trumpian rhetoric that insists that federal courts enforcing federal laws against the administration are somehow illegitimate." verfassungsblog.de/the-law-of-l...
The Law of Lawlessness
A Recap of Supreme Court’s Last Term
The Supreme Court’s last term was marked by more than a few disturbing developments. Among the most consequential was the Republican justices’ slow and steady legitimization of the Trump administration’s de-legitimization campaign against the lower federal courts – a trend that includes, but also goes beyond, last week’s ruling in Trump v. CASA. In several different decisions, the Supreme Court gave a boost to the Trumpian rhetoric that insists that federal courts enforcing federal laws against the administration are somehow illegitimate – and to the idea that it is the lower court decisions restraining the administration, rather than the administration’s lack of legal restraint, that are the real threat to the constitutional system.
