Black people held their own constitutional conventions before the Civil War and the Black Panthers held their own constitutional conventions in the 1970s; the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 started the march to the Equal Rights Convention; and the Abolitionist movement petitioned Congress.

There is no mistaking where Oregonians stand: we do not want federal troops on our streets. Oregon is our home, not a war zone or a military target, and our communities remain vibrant and secure.

In light of the Court's decision to allow Slaughter's firing to stand pending review of Humphrey's, does anyone still think that the Fed would have been able to refuse to accept the trillion dollar coin if the President had deemed it necessary to prevent a constitutional crisis?

Gotta say it's genuinely hilarious and poetic that the thing trumpland has seized in to attack fed independence is it's ability to fund its operating expenses with ex nihilo fiat mechanism as it's policy toolkit. Live by the black box infinity sign budget capacity, die by it.

I think Jackson understands her audience, and is writing to assure normal people that, no, you do not have to take a GOP-controlled Court protecting a GOP president seriously. This is grim, thankless work, but it's also the most important part of her job right now ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/ketan...

Only one opinion per Supreme Court case really matters: the one that earns five votes. So anytime a justice writes separately, the question is always why: Who is it for, and what does the justice hope to accomplish by voluntarily doing extra work? Some justices have reliably specific audiences: When Justice Clarence Thomas dissents (or writes a solo concurrence), he is coaching conservative activists to bring more ambitious cases in the future. Chief Justice John Roberts writes for the legal journalists whom he needs to keep writing soft-focus profiles that cast him as the Court’s principled institutionalist. Justice Brett Kavanaugh writes for his liberal neighbors in the Maryland suburbs, trying desperately to persuade them that he is neither as dumb nor as malevolent as his votes suggest.

Jackson’s audience is different: She is writing for the public. She is assuring tens of millions of people who are not lawyers that, no, they are not wrong to question the good faith of a Republican-controlled Court that keeps siding with a Republican president. She is pointing out the real-world consequences of the Court’s decisions that her conservative colleagues do not want to discuss. Most importantly, she is urging people to be skeptical of the story the Court loves to tell about itself: that the task of interpreting the law is not “political.” This has always been wrong. But no justice has come quite so close to saying it.

Though honestly I wonder if this is going to become a thing - if you rep a seller and succeed in forcing a buyer to complete an acquisition, you'll have to fight for your fee? Institutionally, it doesn't seem to create great incentives for the corporate bar.

When did the conspiracy-obsessed, fascist-friendly far right first get a foothold in the Oregon Republican Party? Would you believe me if I said 1962?
