On Saturday evening, I wrote a series of posts about A.A.R.P. v. Trump. This case rocketed from the District Court to the Supreme Court in approximately twelve hours. Still, the timing of the case remained a bit fuzzy. For example, the New York Times reported: The Fifth Circuit issued its ruling in the small hours of Saturday morning, denying the A.C.L.U.’s request for emergency relief as premature. Steve Vladeck offered this timing: Then, a little before 1:00 a.m., the Supreme […]
Special economic development zones (SEDZs) are carved-out territories where layers of regulation, taxes, and governance are selectively lifted or streamlined so that new firms and housing can be permitted, financed, and built at speeds the surrounding jurisdiction rarely matches. Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson argue in Abundance that the United States now needs exactly this kind of regulatory fast-lane (though they don’t promote SEDZs) because “process has replaced progress”; zoning fights, environmental reviews, and overlapping veto points turn […]
Why was a man who was legally protected from deportation sitting in one of the world’s most notorious prisons in El Salvador? This week on Just Asking Questions, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Glenn Greenwald returns to discuss a case that cuts to the heart of American constitutionalism and due process. Greenwald, known for his reporting on the National Security Agency and his founding role at The Intercept, has become one of the most consistent civil libertarian voices in politics. […]
I’m just curious to know how many females who would consider themselves AnCaps are in this sub – perhaps just lurking and reading, or maybe actively engaging in discourse with a username that doesn’t explicitly indicate the sex/gender. And no, I’m not asking because I’m looking for a girlfriend. Lol. I’m all set, in that regard. (Although I have a great meme I’ll share soon, for strictly comical purposes, that always gives me a good chuckle.) I’m only […]
My end-of-week morning train WFH reads: • The world’s hot new trade is “sell America” For decades, the world has invested in America. Now, a global moment of clarity threatens to redirect trillions of dollars of capital inflows and diminish the U.S. in the international economic order. The U.S. receives nearly $2 trillion each year in foreign capital inflows, according to government data — things like investments in businesses and bank lending, but also foreign investors buying U.S. […]
So the 20-year-old son of a sheriff’s deputy holds “far right” and “White supremest” views⁉️ Inconceivable‼️ submitted by /u/Drillerfan [link] [comments]
Thomas A. Berry, Brent Skorup, and Christine Marsden Under the Clean Air Act, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may grant a special waiver to the state of California to combat environmental concerns specific to California, such as smog in Los Angeles. But over the last fifteen years, the EPA has used that limited waiver process to empower California regulators to address global climate change through strict vehicle emissions and electric car mandates that bind all US automakers. […]
Scott Lincicome Recent tariff-related turmoil in the U.S. stock market has motivated several Trump administration officials and many of their online allies to shrug it off as unrepresentative of the “real” U.S. economy. Many have argued, in fact, that the scary sell-off of U.S. stocks, bonds, and dollars—one that abated only after Trump pulled back from the tariff abyss last week—was not just meaningless “digital ones and zeroes” but actually good because “Wall Street” losses meant “Main Street” […]
Today the Fourth Circuit denied the government’s motion for an emergency stay and Garcia v. Noem. Here, I will not focus on the merits of the appeal. Rather, I want to highlight how Judge Wilkinson’s opinion invokes a defining moment from the Civil Rights Era: It is in this atmosphere that we are reminded of President Eisenhower’s sage example. Putting his “personal opinions” aside, President Eisenhower honored his “inescapable” duty to enforce the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. […]
