I’ll be listening to the Tsarnaev #SCOTUS arguments at 10 — arguments that wouldn’t be happening if the admin acted on its alleged death penalty opposition. But here we are: Biden’s DOJ is fighting to reinstate a death sentence that a lower court said was reached inappropriately.
Arguments are available here: supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments…
*EK enters the chat*
It's 10:50, and we're still on petitioner. ... While I have an 11a appt, so will have to catch up on the rest of the argument later, I love this new argument style and hope they keep it.
Here’s my takeaway following today’s Tsarnaev arguments at #SCOTUS, for @MSNBCDaily:

Am I going to make my brain explode by reading all of this bullshit, or am I going to actually enjoy my night?
Lol. These jerks doing the "DRAFT" thing and not giving us the documents in a way that we can highlight or copy and paste.

So, before I got Covid, I was supposed to be running a half-marathon yesterday. Needless to say, losing basically all of September from running meant that was a no-go. But, today, I did finish a 10K, with a (very uneven, but, so it goes) 8:30 pace. So grateful to be back at it.
It’s World Mental Health Day, and I’ve talked about this before: For me, running has been one of the most successful tools I have to live a happy life with my bipolar—along with medication and therapy. Getting a run in like I did today, and I just *know* I’m re-centering myself.
Over time, I learned that other types of exercise worked basically just as well for me, but it was the running that really started me on a path to finding happiness living with my diagnosis. Of course, for me, quitting drinking (years after I’d been running) helped a ton, too.

Here's the big Senate Judiciary Committee report: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… Image
Here's the Republican response, a lesson in "when typeface says a lot." judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… Image
Still obsessed w the BJay Pak stuff in Georgia. It seems like the additional info from the report (tho I might have missed reporting on this) is that Donoghue just decided while talking w Trump on 1/3 that Pak would be "resigning" the next day — to stop Trump from firing Pak. Image

Sam Alito, man.
Alito complains that the most silly criticism of the shadow docket is that they're late-night rulings. He mentioned that #SB8 was going into effect at midnight as a reason why SCOTUS has late-night decisions, but didn't mention that SCOTUS didn't rule before it went into effect.
Alito says that full briefing would have been impossible in shadow docket cases like #SB8 — ignoring the possibility that Chief Justice Roberts himself offered up: a temporary stay preventing #SB8 from going into effect until full briefing could be held.
