the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.

LEFT: Noah Feldman in Bloomberg in 2020, promising that his old friend Amy Coney Barrett would "analyze and decide cases in good faith, applying the jurisprudential principles to which she is committed" RIGHT: Noah Feldman in Bloomberg in 2026, "surprised" that Amy Coney Barrett did not do that

Yet these political judgments need to be distinguished from a separate question: what to think about Judge Amy Coney Barrett, whom Trump has told associates he plans to nominate. And here I want to be extremely clear. Regardless of what you or I may think of the circumstances of this nomination, Barrett is highly qualified to serve on the Supreme Court.

I disagree with much of her judicial philosophy and expect to disagree with many, maybe even most of her future votes and opinions. Yet despite this disagreement, I know her to be a brilliant and conscientious lawyer who will analyze and decide cases in good faith, applying the jurisprudential principles to which she is committed. Those are the basic criteria for being a good justice. Barrett meets and exceeds them.

The majority dismissed this idea, interpreting the Lujan precedent to mean that the observers’ aesthetic reaction did not count as concrete and particularized but should be understood as mere “distress at or disagreement with” the government’s actions. To hear the majority tell it, if mere aesthetic objections were sufficient to bring a lawsuit, anyone could bring a lawsuit against the government any time for anything that the plaintiff disagreed with.

The vote that surprises me most in this case is that of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who clerked for Scalia and ordinarily takes pains to make sure the court interprets his views correctly.

It’s certainly true that if you read Scalia’s opinion in its entirety, his statement about the cognizability of aesthetic injury is what is known as “dicta,” which means words not technically required to reach the outcome in the case. But Scalia most certainly did not reject the plaintiffs’ standing in the Lujan case on the grounds that they were merely expressing disagreement with government policy. Instead, he was careful to say that they hadn’t shown that they had firm plans to visit the endangered species in question. In context, Roberts’s interpretation of the Lujan opinion is superior to that of the majority.
