I know the feeling. I haven’t recorded an episode of my show since January.

I've expanded on today's SCOTUS order about the Copyright Office a bit in a note because I don't find today's SCOTUS action as surprising as some others seem to find it.

substack.com/@chrisgeidne...

Here's my thinking:
The Copyright Office is under the Library of Congress, and the fight over this purported firing has therefore been different due to statutory and historical involvement of Congress in running the Library of Congress. The purported firing of Perlmutter, unlike Cook, was not directly from Trump. Instead, Trump fired the Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, and attempted to install Todd Blanche — the deputy attorney general (and Trump's former criminal defense lawyer) - as the acting librarian. Blanche then purported to fire Perlmutter. I think one way Wednesday's move can make sense is if viewed through that lens. Whatever the court decides in Slaughter and Cook will - regardless of outcomes - address some first-level questions in Perlmutter's case, or at least set some rules and standards for addressing them, as to the Hayden firing and effort to install Blanche. Only then can the court actually look at the purported Perlmutter firing. And yet, as with Cook, the decision in this environment for the Supreme Court to block the administration for months on end is, subtly or not, sending a sign. And, the Court's conservatives chose to send the opposite sign when the question was about Slaughter - and others.
