.@Cambridgeren and Jeb Barnes reflect on America’s deep roots in adversarial legalism.
To move past policymaking by lawsuit, abundance, liberals must build new forms of trusted authority.
My new article with Jeb Barnes probably should have been titled "Liberals, The Courts Are Not Your Friends," but instead we called it "The Post-Brown Era in Judicial Policymaking," published at The Forum: https://t.co/JKlhi5u65R
1. Geopolitical competition with China makes protectionism necessary
2. Protectionism is economically costly and bad.

I guess this take is controversial among law professors, but for political scientists who study the legal system it is our conventional starting point. Courts do politics, but differently from other institutions.
Persuasive analysis by Ilya Somin, a law professor who is no flaming liberal. The inconvenient truth is that the case against Trump on Section 3 grounds is powerful, even if the political implications of the Colorado decision are troubling. https://t.co/u1MOv7ffiV
@JordanSchachtel Just false. Go to Google Scholar. She has several highly-cited articles in the top three journals for a political scientist studying American politics.

Under the Constitution and laws of the United States, the former president has an inviolable right to a speedy and expeditious trial. He does not have a right, however, to a delay of a speedy trial to serve his personal and political interests.
It's flown under the radar that this Administration has created a new $30/month high-speed internet benefit program that is already serving roughly as many lower-income households as SNAP. For many of these households, it's the difference between having internet access and not.
WE NEED TO DEFUND THE POLICE
(in low-crime affluent suburbs in order to make it easier to fill vacancies in higher-crime cities where the job is tougher but the social benefits of increased policing are larger)
@AsheeshKSi Are we really going to do the Twitter/X thing and ridicule each over a difficult situation where we know next to nothing about each other’s circumstances? Aside from social media “engagement,” what does that accomplish?
