Dead wrong since at least 1833, when some bad to the bone highwayman under a sentence of death for robbing the mail validly refused a pardon from Andrew Jackson. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St…
I need to correct the first bit of the above by noting that in a 1927 decision, Biddle v Perovich, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. attacked and rejected Chief Justice Marshall’s reasoning in the Wilson case. Dersh isn’t dead wrong; Biddle supports him. supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/…
You may fault me for taking approx. 12 hours to recognize Biddle. However, bear in mind that the Supreme Court of Oregon kept deciding cases based on Wilson for *86 years* after 1927 before they finally recognized Biddle. caselaw.findlaw.com/or-supreme-cou…

This also needs context. More people are harmed by a federal government shutdown than federal employees. Native American communities, in particular, are immediately adversely affected. As the shutdown continues, the harms expand and multiply throughout the country’s population.
There are businesses that rely on the federal government as a customer—contractors of all sorts and sizes—and as a landlord—e.g. vendors at national parks. People who own and work for those businesses are harmed by the interruption of their income.
Scientists missing their grant funds, journalists who can’t access public records, inventors who can’t get their patents, entrepreneurs who can’t get business licenses ... This bit of context is, in all likelihood, barely scratching the surface of harms flowing from the shutdown.

The wording: “these occurrences happened during a period when Mr. Manafort was managing a U.S. presidential campaign”
Maloni’s ‘clarification’ would harmonize this Madrid trip to meet Kilimnik with one referred to in another filing from the Special Counsel, though; on October 31, 2017, they wrote Manafort had been to Madrid ”within the last year.” cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2017/image…
But, if Maloni is correct, it leaves open a rather large question: why would Manafort be sharing 2016 polling data with Kilimnik 2-3 months *after* the election (when, if you don’t work for Nate Silver, it’s of extremely limited use)?

You can copy the black highlighted “redactions” in the Manafort team’s filing, paste it somewhere else, and see what it says. Here’s the first one. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5677…
The sentence @jonswaine reported is in the second redaction.
A few follow-ups for the completists among you.
-The Manafort team refiled its document to fix the redactions.
-The court has ordered the govt to file the "factual and evidentiary basis" of the five breaches it alleges next Monday 1/14; Manafort will have until 1/18 to reply

This semester in my Arts of Islam survey, I decided to scrap the research paper and have students collaborate to re-write @Wikipedia articles. It ended up better than I could have imagined & transformed how I think about teaching #StudentsOfIslamicArt #IslamicArt #MedievalTwitter
I was hesitant about shaking up a popular class that had worked well for years, but one statistic finally convinced me: 90% of Wikipedia articles are written by men - and largely by men from Euro-American contexts. theguardian.com/education/2018…
The oft-maligned #Wikipedia is the now the world's most frequently-consulted source of information & fifth-most visited website. Because anyone can be an editor, it's on us to make it the best resource it can be. If you think Wikipedia is bad, look in the mirror. Wikipedia is us.

1/ THINKING IN ANALOGIES IS DANGEROUS, a thread.

From your high school classes, do you recall the image of an atom where electrons revolve around the nucleus (just like planets go around the Sun)?

IT WAS WRONG, and here's why.
2/ The analogy of electrons as tiny planets is so common that most people imagine electrons to be like tiny spheres. That’s utterly wrong.

Electrons are not tiny spheres. Instead, they’re like a cloud spread around the nucleus. In fact, even the cloud analogy is wrong
3/ Human intuition never evolved to understand things at this scale, so the most accurate picture of an atom is given by the Schrödinger equation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B…

Note that the equation is not just a mathematical description, it is what an electron _really_ is.

Gospel for Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Did Jesus get his power to cast out demons from the Prince of Demons? #gospel usccb.org/bible/readings…
//The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "By the prince of demons he drives out demons." (Mk 3:22) #Gospel
//Beelzebub or Beelzebul is a name derived from a Philistine god, formerly worshipped in Ekron, and later adopted by some Abrahamic religions as a major demon. The name Beelzebub is associated with the Canaanite god Baal. #demonology #religion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beelzebub

Important excerpt from Reuters article posted above. This is how Dershowitz made his civil suit go away.
Brad Edwards was a former partner of Scott Rothstein, convicted of a $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme, now serving a 59-year prison sentence.
