For its first 101 years, and most of its first 135 years, #SCOTUS decided the cases Congress *told it* to decide. It's only a post-1925 innovation that the Justices have so much control over their docket. Maybe it's time for Congress to consider taking back some of that control?

Intuit spent years chasing profits under the guise of helping low-income taxpayers. The government shouldn't be relying on private industry to provide essential services. The IRS can, and should, create its own free tax preparation and filing system. nytimes.com/2021/07/19/opi…

Key point here: what Republicans introduced on Jan 6th for the first time in over a century is the spectre of a Congressional veto of the nation's choice for president. When he says "he got the votes" he means...in Congress.

HIPAA lives inside of us. It is everything and nothing. HIPAA is a blade of grass; HIPAA is the Eiffel Tower. HIPAA is the invisible light of pure being and HIPAA is a stone in a creek. You may ask, “Is this a HIPAA violation?” The answer is always yes and the answer is always no

Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk now own more wealth than the bottom 40% of Americans combined. As Louis Brandeis once said, “We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.”

We talk about violence being bad, but far too many of us ignore the violence that happens in prison and WAY too many celebrate it You can't be opposed to violence but root for violence when it is against the people you don't like

How "risky" does someone need to be to justify pretrial detention under current law? @sandy_mayson and I lay out the legal & empirical framework to answer this. We show that jail is so harmful that virtually no one is "dangerous" enough to warrant it. 1/ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

In 1951, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights ranked filibuster reform alongside criminalizing lynching and ending segregation. Civil rights activists knew that the filibuster was one of the most potent weapons used by southern reactionaries to prevent racial justice.

Knowing that his successor opposes the death penalty, Donald Trump has rushed to execute as many people as possible before the transition. He has executed more individuals in weeks than had been federally executed in more than 60 years. Absolutely shameful. End the death penalty.

These GOP lawmakers trying to backtrack like “I was NOT voting to overturn the election with a lie I fed my white supremacist base, I was simply amplifying concerns that challenge the legitimacy of Black electorates in Philadelphia and Detroit and Latino electorates in Arizona”

At some point we need to talk about consistent and illegal abuse of the apparatus of the entire federal government to aid Trump's campaign.

The only way to make sense of it is as an army burning the fields as it retreats. The fields, in this case, being our country.

The notch below "weak democracy" is known as "competitive authoritarianism," where elections occur, but norms and institutions of democracy are not followed. That's where we are now. It's not where the US is going. This is now.
