Similarly, in Brown v Board of Education the Supreme Court imposed a popular solution that was blocked in congress by the filibuster and the power granted to Dixiecrats by the seniority system. https://t.co/FTGhb8gvTp — PolitiTweet.org

The US government has tons of veto points and undemocratic features, sometimes (as in Obergerfell) the Court enforces the will of the public against the obstinacy of state legislatures. — PolitiTweet.org

All the coming (and past) rulings on non-delegation gutting the administrative state are 100% bullshit with zero textual basis. — PolitiTweet.org

Also as a Jew, I have standing to throw myself under the bus over school prayer — I would rather not have this, but it also does not strike me as that big of a deal or something I'd want to prioritize or lose elections over. — PolitiTweet.org

All things considered, I think the "only popular rulings" equilibrium would be better than the one we are getting from the Alito Court. The prayer thing isn't great but would very happily trade it to have Roe back. https://t.co/xCbdv3sQnP — PolitiTweet.org

@jbarro @michaelbd Is it *expensive* to move to Europe? I just thought it was hard to get a visa. But like I know a guy who was entitled to get Irish dual citizenship and he just got it and moved and it didn't seem like a big deal. — PolitiTweet.org

I totally understand the impulse not to have heated political debates at work, but unless you’re going to ban any kind of talk about family life it seems like abortion might come up. — PolitiTweet.org
