My new one @Slate: How John Roberts Might Allow Trump to Ressurect the Census Question
Democrats should not be popping the champagne yet over today’s apparent major victory in the census case. slate.com/news-and-polit… via @slate
Looks like @mjs_DC has the opposite view: slate.com/news-and-polit…
President Trump asks for a do-over on the census citizenship question, and John Roberts has left the door open:

"Although the conservative justices may diverge from their colleagues on cases with little partisan salience, on the big cases, the Trumpification of the Supreme Court is complete," writes @AdamSerwer theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
More @AdamSerwer: "Trump administration’s dishonesty and even its bigotry are no barrier to its success at SCOTUS, even when it demands that the Court endorse blatant discrimination and disenfranchisement. All that Roberts asks is that they lie about it more convincingly."
.@AdamSerwer "His conservative colleagues don’t even need that much."
This is one of those pieces that you read and say, damn, I wish I would have written something like this, and this well.

With Trump's tweet, an updated headline for my @slate piece: Donald Trump is Promising to Fight the Census Case. That Might Actually Work.

slate.com/news-and-polit… via @slate
Two more points about census case.
1. It was like the reaction to Bush v. Gore. In hot political cases, people need to read carefully before jumping to conclusions about what Court has held.
2. John Roberts has made it super easy in future decades to include citizenship question.
On this second point, I think Roberts bought some short term credibility on left (maybe very short term slate.com/news-and-polit…) by rejecting government pretext for including citizenship question while writing an opinion that is long term benefit to GOP.

I'm not AWOL. Just wrote a piece on the census decision and starting one now on partisan gerrymandering. Stay tuned.
Piece posting to @Slate momentarily on the census ruling. My advice: Don't pop open the champagne. The government may still win this one.
Do I eat breakfast before writing the second one?

#REDFLAG: Hear me out. It's important.

We're FUNDAMENTALLY talking about Barr and Mueller in the wrong way.

According to the Special Counsel rules, in basic terms, the Attorney General MUST notify Congress if he ever disagreed, overruled, or blocked the Special Counsel.

[1/2]
#IMO: Barr violated DOJ rules by failing to disclose he OVERRULED Mueller.

In his first letter, Barr told Congress "there were no such instances" where he disagreed, overruled, or blocked Mueller.

But, his decision to exonerate Trump, when Mueller would not, is just that. [2/2]
#RELATED: While the Special Counsel rules mandate that Barr notifies Congress if he interferes w/ the investigation...

...those rules DON'T apply for the 14 investigations Mueller handed-off.

They could be impeded and Barr wouldn't have to tell anyone.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
