Thanks, @JenniferJS_. In my opinion, Trump showed up to the Supreme Court to intimidate the justices. He has no respect for separation of powers or the Constitution.
Dem strategist @GevinReynolds on BBC said Trump only went to the Supreme Court hearing to intimidate judges he installed. BBC interjected, saying we can't know Trump's intention blah blah blah. Scared of being sued!
Reynolds is right though.😀
“The legal challenge to Florida’s Rooney Rule, a policy designed to promote diversity in the hiring of state college coaches and athletic directors, must be understood not as a legitimate legal argument, but as an act of legal fiction rooted in white supremacy.” — @GevinReynolds

🏈The NFL has the ball. I hope the league doesn't just play defense — I hope it goes on offense, including making plays to diversify the ownership ranks. Full piece here: https://t.co/53A1lePkIW
🚨Florida @AGJamesUthmeier is threatening the @NFL over the Rooney Rule. As a former NFL employee and current law student at @YaleLawSch, I wrote about why this challenge is rooted in legal fiction — and what's really driving it. NEW in @TheRoot https://t.co/53A1lePkIW
⚖️To get into the legal weeds, the Rooney Rule doesn't deprive anyone of employment opportunities or compel teams to refuse to hire anyone. As legal scholar @NJeremiDuru has shown, the policy was written to survive exactly this kind of challenge.
Claudia Goldin won the Nobel Prize in economics - as a treat, she took on volunteer role helping the WNBA players negotiate for the biggest pay increase a union has ever received - a nearly 400% raise. This is badass. https://t.co/aiJ02p5nO5
When I interned on the Hill the office I was working for felt super racist. Once I was walking along the tunnel and I saw Congresswoman Underwood and she gave me the biggest smile. It felt like she could see I was sunken. It picked me up. I’ll always remember that.
