Hey hivemind, what are the good texts about disguising political choices in law and technology as technical ones? Stuff like the normativity of coding, the politics of architectures created by designers? thanks!

Hey everyone, could you recommend (1) a reading about critical legal studies (as a method, not a historical movement) and (2) a reading where the author uses this method, which I could use as an illustration for students? curious what different people consider good. thanks!

An Uber from my flat in Krakow to the railway station (1.6 km, 20 mins walk), right now, when it's raining, costs MORE than the train ticket from Krakow to my hometown (110 km, 1.5 h drive). Not sure what to think of this.

Forthcoming, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, by William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen: The Sweep and Force of Section Three [of the 14th Amendment] papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abs…

Abstract
Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment forbids holding office by former office holders who then participate in insurrection or rebellion. Because of a range of misperceptions and mistaken assumptions, Section Three’s full legal consequences have not been appreciated or enforced. This article corrects those mistakes by setting forth the full sweep and force of Section Three.

Second, Section Three is self-executing, operating as an immediate disqualification from office, without the need for additional action by Congress. It can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications. Third, to the extent of any conflict with prior constitutional rules, Section Three repeals, supersedes, or simply satisfies them. This includes the rules against bills of attainder or ex post fa
