After listening to oral arguments in Suncor v. Boulder just now, I hope someone will give Justice Kavanaugh my @yalelawjournal.bsky.social Essay on the case. It provides a detailed history of Ouellette & the other precedents invoked in Suncor. These cases do not say what Justice Kavanaugh asserted.

I’m a Cleveland fan, but I am objective enough to see that McGonigle deserves ROY over Messick (though I think it’s closer than some of the commentators suggest).

Thanks, Keith! I was wondering if DeLauter would make your list. Now that I watch him almost every day I totally see what you mean about the really weird swing. But the results have been pretty solid.

NEW: The Trump administration asked SCOTUS to intervene so that the new USPS rule limiting mail-in voting can go into effect after we got a district court to block it. With under 60 days until November's election, there's no way this wouldn't disenfranchise voters who rely on mail ballots.

246. Making Sense of the Mail-in Ballots Ruling
The Supreme Court’s grant of a stay in one of the mail-in ballot cases is deeply wrong, but it’s also not the main event over whether Trump’s patently unlawful executive order can take effect.

Hey @timstebbins.bsky.social, can you please pass this along to @zackmeisel.bsky.social, I’m no longer on Twitter and I don’t think he checks his account here very much.
