1. What if Congress passed a law, that limits #SCOTUS' power of judicial review to the last two parts of the Caroline Products footnote No. 4? Those two of three paragraphs IMO are the work of one of my favorite justices and fellow @UMassAmherst troublemaker Harland Fiske Stone.
2. "It is unnecessary to consider now whether legislation which restricts those political processes which can ordinarily be expected to bring about repeal of undesirable legislation, is to be subjected to more exacting judicial scrutiny under the
3. general prohibitions of the Fourteenth Amendment than are most other types of legislation...

Nor need we inquire whether similar considerations enter into the review of statutes directed at particular religious... or nations... or racial minorities...: whether prejudice
4. against discrete and insular minorities may be a special condition, which tends seriously to curtail the operation of those political processes ordinarily to be relied upon to protect minorities, and which may call for a correspondingly more searching judicial inquiry....."
5. As we sit and wonder what the new Tawney court will do with the ACA, the fact that they are likely to not apply rational basis standard to this act is IMO grounds to limit their power of judicial review by statute. Because John Marshall essentially made up the power in
6. Marbury v. Madison, we should see the heads of the so-called "originalists" spinning around like Linda Blair in the Exorcist when they try to strike the limitations down based solely on the musings of a power-hungry Federalist jurist.

1. Here is @ballotpedia on when absentee/mail-in ballots can be counted. A lot of Blue states are likely to skew towards same day in-person. Like MN. So Trump could lead early.

Here's why I think @GOPLeader McCarthy is trying to block an early call.

2. I think North Carolina may report at 7:30 pm. Even if PA is still in play, if WI and MI look like going to Biden, NC might be game over for Trump. Biden could loose PA, FL, AZ, IA and ME 2nd and still have 273.
3. And Texas may report when their polls close. And with the absentee/mail-in all counted. So if Biden is leading they may call it at 9:00pm EDT when for El Paso and Hudspeth Counties on mountain time close. Most if not all mail in counted. Only had about 10% mail-in.

1. If Trump's plan is to sew doubt about the results on election night his big SCOTUS successes IMO will do just the opposite. First, I was not for trying to change the WI, MI and PA mail-in deadline. We went all mail-in under the same "due on election day" rule and it worked
2. great and we are all mail-in but admittedly a small state with about 795,000 registered voters. As of last count 380,000 votes have been received. That's almost as many votes as were cast in 2018. But no matter how many are cast we will have the count on election night.
3. Ballots that have problems have time to correct. So I admit the attack on the USPS is a challenge but it's as likely to harm the GOP as the Dems whose voters tend to be younger and more resourceful. We've seen the people standing in line dancing. They're going to turn it into

1. My parents and all but one of my relatives grew up liberals. @JoeBiden at Warm Springs Georgia is his connection with that tradition evidenced by today’s pilgrimage. It connected him historically like plugging into electricity on FDR’s hallowed ground.
2. My parents were Massachusetts Irish Catholic New Dealers from two Western Mass political families banished by the @AP to MO in the 1950s. When JFK ran I was thrilled. PT109 and the Kennedy charm was irresistible to a nine year-old politician wannabe.
3. But my parents were lukewarm at first on JFK. He wasn’t an ideological liberal. Plus my family viewed the Kennedy family as bootleggers. Not that there weren’t probably bootleggers in our family but being nowhere near as successful at it perhaps made it easier to hide.

1. I know a bit about how the analytics thing works. It's why I'm not easy to track on-line. Pretty much only if I want to be tracked. The other day I allowed some cookies to set. This will explain how the GRU attack will go. Hopefully help you spot when your being engaged by

I decided to look at new cars. I knew that these are robust analytics customers so then I put my data in I started getting emails & then, on @Twitter, the brand I was looking at popped up on my timeline feed. Now, imagine it wasn't a car but I was on @Facebook or
3. @Instagram, sites with rather good identification data, discussing politics and who I was going to vote for. What if I said I was un-decided? Like bread on the water the little fish would all swim to me. But now imagine that they already have the stolen

1. Not clear if it's just election window dressing for Trump to look tough on Al-Qaeda and ISIS after surrendering parts of Syria to them and their Turkish enablers but there are signs of something changing in the relationship. First the @StateDept issued a terrorist threat
2. warning for Americans in Istanbul. This came after the Turkish forces withdrew from an area of western Syria held by the Assad regime. In what appears to have been either a re-deployment of that force or possibly another force the Assad regime has engaged in an artillery

1.A reminder what really happened in 2016. 11 days out here's a comparison of poll averages. @HillaryClinton was 3.9% ahead. @JoeBiden is 7.9%. With Hillary in a much closer position, James Comey, under pressure from the @HouseGOP & @SenateGOP broke policy and IMO violated 6(e).
2. That opened the door to a massive #GRU direct action attack, mostly on @Facebook, that targeted @TheDemocrats who were wavering in their support and interest and who were identified by Cambridge Analytics by Facebook violating its own policies in a few key precincts.
3. That swung WI, MI and PA to Trump. It was brilliant but it was an act of war facilitated by Americans and an FBI head who violated the rules and the faith. Mueller, under the gun, was not able or willing to identify the members of Congress.
