The current SCOTUS majority is a bunch of sophists who like to dismiss evidence in favor of hypotheticals. They are spending enormous political capital trying to empower a guy that tried to overthrow the US government. If any good comes of this, hopefully it will radicalize people about SCOTUS.
The conservative justices have their talking point -- what if Congress turned every department into a multimember commission -- and it is totally absurd considering that has never happened under the existing law.

This isn’t a difference of opinion. Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are straightforward liars.

bad actors like wurman are why i think it is important to place the birthright clause in the full context of section 1 and section 1 in the context of both dred scott and the two decades of antislavery and abolitionist agitation and political thinking that proceeded it
The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

This court’s VRA decisions are consistently its most poorly reasoned and this one is probably the dumbest of the lot
Pretty notable, in my view, that Kagan points out the Supreme Court's pro-gerrymandering decision in Texas is a step-by-step instruction manual for states to draw discriminatory maps while ducking judicial review, and the majority has...nothing to say in response www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![Texas is not on “the eve of an election,” as was true in the
case the majority cites. Republican National Committee v.
Democratic National Committee, 589 U. S. 423, 424 (2020)
(per curiam); see ante, at 2. The election there was five days
after the injunction. Similarly, the election in Purcell was
“just weeks” away. 549 U. S., at 4. Here, Election Day is
eleven months from now. Even the primary election (which
Texas could change) is in March. The District Court care-
fully listed the various “election preparations” underway to
switch to the 2025 map. App. 144. On the other hand, the
court noted how the 2021 map—which the injunction rein-
stated—was, in a real sense, the status quo. See id., at 145.
Officials, candidates, and voters are all familiar with it from
the last two election cycles. Until late last summer, every-
one expected that map to govern 2026 too. And indeed, it
will be used in a special runoff election in the State’s largest
county on January 31, 2026. So, the District Court properly
concluded, “[a]n injunction in this case would not cause sig-
nificant disruption.” Id., at 144. Except to the extent all of
us live in election season all the time, the 2026 congres-
sional election is not well underway.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bpna2qi2e44fafbhhtqjak3x/bafkreifzzrhpyftoam4b4eqcpdcegf2hksn4ula6rwbtv6fqwviqfgikte@jpeg)

One of my most conservative-coded opinions is that one of the reasons we're in this mess is because of the profound decadence, solipsism, moral rot, and general lack of personal virtue afflicting much of the upper PMC / bourgeoisie.

If grading student essays is a First Amendment issue at all, then it's utterly and completely unconstitutional. There's no line you can draw. The First Amendment does not uniquely protect "speech" that's about contested political issues

Is there really such a thing as viewpoint discrimination in public university course grading? Surely there cannot be without destroying public academia itself.

and you know what? these students should also be judged, and judged harshly for this. running to the admins and state legislators and the press because you got a fairly earned failing grade on an assignment is and should be seen as a mark of extremely poor character. it makes you a very bad person.
the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

I don’t think blue state metros with high housing costs represent the country, but it does represent most of the media class who make these narratives (like Twitter!). Fixing the visible dysfunction of blue state housing costs helps in that respect. YIMBYism alone won’t beat Trump, obviously
Watching people twist themselves into pretzels to try to argue that the places that are unquestionably the outliers actually represent the normal American experience is really annoying! I’m sorry but it’s a huge country and, VERY FAMOUSLY, it’s an error to treat the coastal metros as representative

I think people are underestimating the likelihood of Tisch’s subordinates bypassing her and going straight to Adams, who has undermined his other police commissioners in the same way. I don’t actually believe Tisch would knowingly violate a consent decree.
Spoke with @bradlander.bsky.social about the FBI accessing Signal comms between court watchers. He said he’s concerned about the NYPD’s involvement
“That appears to me to be a violation of the Handschu consent decree—the NYPD is not allowed to participate in the surveillance of political activity”

Looking back it does seem like Mamdani promised to make CCRB the final arbiter of police discipline and he should not have said that because the mayor can't do that except indirectly by appointing a Commissioner who promises to always abide by it. But he was already talking about Tisch back then.
Before his election, Mamdani was adamant: The CCRB should get final say in NYPD discplinary cases. Now, after retaining Tisch as NYPD commish, Mamdani's changing his tune, saying he's mainly focused on ensuring CCRB's "recommendations" are "taken seriously." www.nydailynews.com/2025/11/20/m...
Mamdani softens hard line on role of NYPD watchdog in discipline after Tisch agrees to stay on
in the wake of announcing Wednesday that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch will stay in her post under his administration, Mayor-elect Mamdani took a step back.
