Yeah and posting one example of malfeasance doesn’t really prove the point. You could make an argument in some sectors there’s too much concentration but then there’s arguments over what causes that, in particular whether over regulation benefits corporations because they can afford compliance.

Any Tom, Dick and Harry can fiddle with data. If we got rid of corporations and only ran partnerships like in the ye olde days we’d see plenty of fraud too.

I have a vague recollection that the Archdiocese of Brooklyn case came out on Thanksgiving extremely late at night, do you remember the time?

Both tariffs and govt. mandates drive up cost. Why can’t we just acknowledge both.

SCOTUS doesn't award damages, and as far as I can tell, the remedy he sought was reinstatement. The only thing which could possibly be construed as damage was a settlement negotiated post the SCOTUS case that covered legal costs. Best not make shit up when your line of criticism is they made shit up

Well that's funny Adam, I haven't seen any opinion by this Court, or anything from Alito either on the national guard question. You basing this comment on anything he's said so far or is it just what you think based on the vibe?

Oh look another person who has no idea what the actual record in that case was. Awesome.

There's almost nobody on the left who is serious about abolishing police, and so people right see it as not anti police but just a pro violent criminal position, as evidenced by the hostility towards gun ownership, robust self defence laws and private law enforcement options (e.g. citizens arrest).

Catholic Charities Bureau Inc v Wisconsin Labor and Industry Commission would indeed suggest it is a national embarrassment Mark. I mean, if I was reversed by a unanimous Sotomayor opinion on Establishment clause grounds in the context of this SCOTUS I would not show my face again in public.

On the other hand, it would be somewhat odd for this to be the vehicle when there’s been more obvious instances of rights violations in circumstances where govt agents have had time to reflect than this case, e.g. see Thomas on Hoggard v Rhodes. Thoughts?

I agree with you, but I am in two minds about this as a vehicle. On the one hand, it involves actions where the govt actors had lengthy periods of time to consider and act. This isn’t a case of a police officer deciding in a split second to shoot a felon, so is more appealing to the Justices.

Your question is nonsensical given we’re discussing Federal Constitutional immunities for members of Congress which has nothing to do with how Louisiana has chosen to structure its justice system.

The text of the speech and debate clause says in the Houses. Which is parallel to the language of the Bill of Rights of 1689. Note the phrase shall not be questioned. Also note re different systems the 8th Amendment is a carbon copy of the Bill of Rights 1689.

The speech and debate clause is just American for one aspect of Parliamentary privilege also referred to in the Bill of Rights 1689. That privilege has never extended to communications outside of Parliament, that is very basic law to everyone in the English speaking world that isn’t the US.

I can think of plenty of threats to judicial independence and 95% of it is not coming from Fedsoc if we count conservatives being bitterly disappointed by Obamacare as the 5%, and it's not primarily coming from dumb NYT articles, because as mentioned earlier, that's thankfully been neutralised.
