#WorldCup:
Interesting question from my kid about the French chance at 93’:

You’re not allowed to kick it back to goalie for hand save. So was the #Argentina defender dropping & kneeing back to goalie deliberately a legal play?
Could have been a PK for #France
A friend says the French are diving more than Jacques Cousteau.
If Mbappé score again, we gotta rename the “hat trick” a “Tribappé”

#ArgentinaVsFrance
Breaking news:
France has set the record for human diving depth.

They’re now 340 meters below surface of the Persian Gulf.

In the Independent State Legislature case Moore v. Harper this morning, the Justices on both sides are skeptically grilling the NC legislature's lawyer Thompson.

Justices Sotomayor and Kagan are shredding him, and Roberts and Barrett seem dubious, too.
I think it was Barrett quoting the 10th A on powers reserved to the states, as a clear argument for deferring to states to interpret their own law; not fed courts deciding that state legislatures have automatic plenary power, regardless of the state constitutions & state courts.
Alito asks about inevitability of state courts and executive officials interpreting statutes.

Thompson: "1. We take state law as given. 2. We're not talking about state statutes. 3. But non-delegation is a rule."
1. What?
2. Really?
3 Um, why? From where?

This @NHLBruins v. Vegas @GoldenKnights game is unreal.
Bruins are trying to keep their 14 game record-setting home streak going. They were down 3-0, fought back to tie it up, and the last 10 minutes have been electric...
Now overtime.
And I just want @PecoooPowerplay and my Bruins fans friends to see this magic.
Who is with me?
After thrilling OT, now a shoot-out. These two goalies Swayman and Thompson standing on their heads to keep each team in it.
Amazing.

Trump as the biggest losers trivia:

In American history, only 3 major party nominees have lost presidential elections by more combined number of popular votes than Donald Trump.

Name them.
(If you add 2016 and 2020, Trump’s net loss of the popular vote was ~10 million)
Ugh it’s 5. I messed up.
Landon
Stevenson
Goldwater
McGovern
Mondale

A huge story on strategic right-wing leaking by SCOTUS from ⁦@jodikantor⁩ ⁦⁦@Jo_Becker⁩:
“In 2014, an Ohio couple who were Mr. Schenck’s star donors shared a meal with Justice Alito and his wife… A day later, one contacted Mr. Schenck…” nytimes.com/2022/11/19/us/…
2/
 …according to an email reviewed by @nytimes. “Rob, if you want some interesting news please call. No emails.”
Schenck said Wright told him Hobby Lobby [won] & Alito wrote the opinion. 3 weeks later, that’s exactly what happened.”
The tip gave Scheck a lead in mobilizing.
3/
 “Times interviewed 4 people who said he told them years ago about the breach; June 2014 emails show him suggesting he had confidential info & directing his staff to prepare for victory. In 2017, he described the disclosure as “one of the most difficult secrets I’ve ever kept.”

Today was a great example of the conservative originalist/textualist shell game.

1. The plaintiffs argued that the original public meaning circa 1868 was “no racial classifications,” but Gorsuch & Barrett rightly weren’t buying that.
And they showed that also didn’t matter…
2. Barrett’s questions signaled that Congress used racial classifications 1866-1870 for “remedial purposes” right after emancipation, so the link to slavery was clear.
Implicitly, she thinks affirmative action today is too remote & unclear to be a remedy.
Nevermind Jim Crow.
3. The new originalist +doctrinal hybrid from Barrett apparently is that remediating discrimination was a “compelling state interest” then, but no longer.

4. Gorsuch also noted 1860sCongress used remedial race classifications, but today’s diversity rationale is not “compelling.”

That’s the first time I’ve seen Double offensive pass interference -

two WRs looking like they intentionally took each other out while clumsily and obviously trying to set up the defenders for fake penalties.

Raiders are so dumb.
Not only was that the worst 4th & 2 play call I’ve ever seen, Davante Adams adds an even worse foul, with likely long suspension:
A temper tantrum shove of a bystander camera guy just doing his job.
The NFL is an embarrassment this year, as usual.
