Andrew Yang just criticized New York City for garbage piling up and schools being closed over the past eight years. What is going on #NYCMayoralDebate
Sorry everybody I lack all will to live-tweet this debate.
Ok one tweet: Maya Wiley just said no one should attack anyone right before attacking Andrew Yang
Eric Adams and Andrew Yang are doing a very good job of taking each other down.

Justice Breyer is teaching a National Constitution Center class right now and he's...enjoying himself
Breyer, on how to foster compromise and effective government: "I am basically optimistic and I don't know if that's justified."
"If you need Republican support, talk to them. 'My friend, what do you think?' Get them talking and they'll eventually say something you agree with."

SCOTUS opinion morning!

First ruling is United States v. Palomar-Santiago, an immigration case. Unanimous opinion written by Justice Sotomayor supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
Another 9th circuit reversal. Can't immediately think of a recent Supreme Court decision where a 9th circuit ruling was affirmed
At least one more opinion coming this morning, so stay tuned.

The (very large) SCOTUS reform commission is meeting right now for the very first time. They're all unmuted and taking their oath and it's quite the chorus.

whitehouse.gov/pcscotus/publi…
Now they're recording voice votes on accepting the bylaws. Everybody is saying yes so far, except for @WilliamBaude, who said "aye".
A couple of absences today: @Sifill_LDF and @tribelaw and a few others. Their plan: six meetings over the next six months, including two with testimony from members of the public.

My 4pm radio hit on today's abortion grant was a casualty of CA's mask mandate extension, so here's a bit of what I was going to say. Roe v Wade is in v big trouble, but there is a lot of murkiness ahead. THREAD
First: there's no reason four justices would vote to hear Dobbs unless they believed it to be a vehicle for eroding abortion rights. There's no circuit split & the MS law is obviously unconstitutional under existing SCOTUS precedent (Roe, Casey).
Second: while Dobbs does not explicitly ask the Court to overrule Casey or Roe, the question on which the Court granted cert implicates the core holding of both precedents—that pre-viability abortion bans are unconstitutional.

Key moment in yesterday's student-speech hearing at SCOTUS: Justice Kagan asking Lisa Blatt about lower court rulings that interpret Tinker v. Des Moines in ways that greatly weaken speech protections
This is crucial: Blatt's central argument is that halting school regulation of student speech outside the schoolhouse gate is unnecessary to let kids express themselves freely. Controversial political and other forms of speech will still be protected under Tinker, Blatt insists.
But as Kagan notes, a district court in 2007 upheld a principal's ban on students wearing t-shirts w the message "We Are Not Criminals" (protesting an immigration bill) b/c it may have caused fights.
Here's that ruling, Madrid v. Anthony: casetext.com/case/madrid-v-…
