Can you help me understand if supremacy clause/preemption has any role here. E.g. can the state prosecute a federal officer for homicide related to his acts in official capacity.

Look at Kavanaugh’s footnote 4 saying that race based stops are unlawful. Seems the criticism of Kavanaugh stops caught up with him!

I don’t disagree. Maybe Stearns is banking on their strong farm system to turn out talent. Maybe they’re about to make some trades. But it’s hard to give the benefit of the doubt right now

This f’ing sucks and hurts a lot. That said…this core group hasn’t won anything in 5 years and often looks sclerotic and complacent. If they end up with a younger more athletic team around Soto then maybe that’s good. But tons of work to do right now.
