While critics may say that Supreme Court reform that takes place in the political sphere undermines judicial independence, Gertner and Tribe got it right: “Far worse are the dangers that flow from ignoring the court’s real problems.”

I am not a securities lawyer, but can someone explain how Twitter's board doesn't have an obligation to take some type of action to prevent Musk from damaging the company and then bailing out from buying it?

The newly proposed New York map is pretty close to a best case outcome for Democrats, with just five Trump districts (v. four on the previously enacted map).
Many competitive Biden-tilting CDs, but all voted more for Biden than nation as a whole.

We fight in court to protect voting rights and prevent election subversion. That is why I say that the future of our democracy is on the docket.
What is the optimistic case for US democracy? Like, let’s assume that Republicans win the White House and Congress in 2024. What is the case that the United States will again have competitive national elections in my lifetime?
