Lawgeeks, there's a fascinating short paper about the "Curiously Nonrandom Assignment of Sixth Circuit Senior Judges."

Finds that senior judges oddly tend to sit with other judges appointed from the same political party.
kentuckylawjournal.org/index.php/2019…
The mismatch was so bad with one judge there "might as well have had at least one more active Democratic judge" at the court.
BUT! There might be a reason, at least partially, for that one judge's peculiar statistics: the clerks may be keeping her away from some other judges because of bad blood!

Cruelty is the point.
Guys, ICE does not have the capacity to remove any more people at a rate greater than they do currently. There's 20,000 ICE agents. They aren't going to be jailing "millions" regardless of what the presidential idiot says. The point of that claim was simply to scare people.
Not to mention, regardless of how many ICE agents are running around, there just aren't that many beds in detention centers.

ICE is already running at capacity. If you're guessing at what these upcoming "raids" are going to nab, you should predict the lower bound.

DOJ has filed a strong rebuttal of the conspiracy theory advanced by plaintiff organizastions and the ACLU and spread by the NYTimes that the census citizenship question was inspired by a secret 2015 study. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6163…
The lack of any link between the 2015 study and Sec. Ross is damning, but I think the worse thing is that plaintiffs had all this stuff in discovery and only now, with a SCOTUS decision days away, leaping to claim that remand is necessary.
It's bad-faith, dirty lawyering and these plaintiffs should not be rewarded for it.

3d Cir. rejects challenge to fed. ban on firearm possession by people who have in the past been adjudicated mentally ill or committed to a mental institution.

Holds that passage of time and rehabilitation cannot restore lost Second Amendment rights. www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/17301… #RKBA
At the end of its opinion the court notes that it is not perpetuating the stigma around mental illness, but does not consider whether the historical prohibition on firearm possession was animated by that stigma.
And it's unfortunate to see how the Court views the protection afforded by the Second Amendment as a good that can be forfeited rather than an always-existing prohibition on government conduct.

It would never adjudicate First Amendment speech cases that way.

Sixth Circuit tosses injunction against abortion law requiring doctors to show patients ultrasound and play baby heartbeat before mother makes a final decision: opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/1…
“there nothing suspect with...requiring a Dr, before performing an abortion, to make truthful, non-misleading factual disclosures, relevant to informed consent, even if those disclosures relate to unborn life and have the effect of persuading the patient not to have an abortion”
Sixth now joins Fifth and Eighth circuits as holding that requiring doctors as part of professional regulations to issue truthful, non-misleading and relevant information is not a 1st amendment violation

Oh @cmrlofficial . Why so averse to learning? New stations, same old access problems. #Senior #Joyride thread - I spy with my jaundiced eye. #ChennaiMetro #A11y #Fails @DisabilityIndia

Fascinating recent paper by Pascal Boyer and Michael Petersen on folk economic beliefs. A must read if you want to understand Trump's approach to trade of the UK government's (non) approach to EU negotiations researchgate.net/publication/32…
Some highlights of this paper. The authors list a series of folk economic beliefs, for instance "International trade is zero-sum, has negative effects"
This is a false belief. But many people think it's true.
They think somehow if A and B trade, and B benefits, A loses out 2/
Part of this is that ordinary people believe that a country "should always try to export more goods than it imports". Sounds familiar? Trade deficits bad for the country. This is Trump's trade war policy. Problem is, given that it's not based on reality, it won't help the US 3/
