Renowned labor organizer Jane McAlevey (@rsgexp) says the UAW's success in unionizing a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee was "a beatdown" of management. A bigger test, she says, will be whether workers can do the same at Mercedes in Alabama.
Will the Supreme Court ignore what the Constitution (and the 16th Amendment) actually say and extend special tax protections to the very, very rich? Check out this excellent piece by @joeyfishkin & @WForbath. https://t.co/8DoHwSgF8a

@rddoerfler …Ryan’s right: few of us are stuck in total law skepticism. Noah’s right: we anti-juristocrats could do more to connect the cosmos to the plumbing - more to help outline a radical “law of democracy” that sets out democratic institutional alternatives for the law work.
@rddoerfler …Rather N seems to be saying that we anti-juristocrats can’t just take policy making away from courts without acknowledging you need law-like rules for democratic decisions and adjudication-like institutions to interpret and apply them….
