Gucci. But it did involve me doing most of the work. I just had to diagnose myself, convince an attendant, and head to the pharmacy. I feel like this is not how it’s supposed to go?

About the controversy or about the old judge?

I think you have more faith in the Democratic Party than I do!

We had a giant “shit on Chadha” session like a year and a half ago at the Grey Center. I’d have to go back and look at what came out of it.

If you go to right wing think tanks, many of them are turning on Chadha too. So there’s this weird bipartisan energy forming. But that all happens upstream from the Court’s closed epistemic world. Your hope is that two judicial gens from now it’s just assumed that Chadha was an abomination.

The smart ones will say courts were a net positive because they lessened the harm done. They will ignore or downplay the fact that the problem is, to a significant extent, generated by courts with things like the UET.

This is the playbook!

Implied future tense because we’re talking about the midterms. The legal-liberal move is going to be to pump up the performance of the courts generally to sideline a reconstruction agenda. Already see the beginning of this with Re et al.

Made tougher when you have trusted people telling them simultaneously that the courts saved democracy from the bad man. But point taken!

I guess my ingrained skepticism flows from a view that the dems today probably aren’t capable of that level of nuance. RoL in this country generally *is* viewed as rule by courts. And you’re not gonna generate a new constitutional politics in time before the midterms.

Don’t you think running as team RoL kind of weakens your hand in taking on the judiciary once you win?

Apples to apples

Truly one of the biggest and most ambitious frauds in the public law canon.

the fact that these lurid scenarios somehow treat trump as the only actor and do not contemplate the response of state and local officials, law enforcement, activists and others is a sign that they are less a hard-nosed analysis and more an expression of fear and anxiety.
