This piece by Perry Dane is interesting. I do not agree with everything in it, but the comparison of the problem of identifying present public meaning to the problem of prediction in (some variants of) legal realism is suggestive. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

There's lots to criticize in how Ben Sasse has been quiet about Trumpism for the last four years. And the both-sideism near the end falls flat. Still, I appreciate this.
SASSE issues a lengthy midnight takedown of efforts by some Republicans to overturn Biden's victory, labeling them "ambitious politicians who think there’s a quick way to tap into the president’s populist base without doing any real, long-term damage." facebook.com/709959352435346…

I know Joe Scarborough. Joe is a friend of mine. I don't know T.J. Klausutis. Joe can weather vile, baseless accusations but T.J.? His heart is breaking. Enough already.

"The Fourth of July celebration...has long been a grand pageant of democracy, a family-friendly event that transcends ideology and partisanship...What Trump is doing makes me angry. And it makes me sad." Can't we--Congress, citizens, DC govt--do something? wapo.st/2WPur2b?tid=ss_tw&ut…

"My client, the world's richest man and owner of the Washington Post, asks if you would be so good as to put your blackmail demands in writing." "Sure! But don't share this with the US Attorney office, because that might contravene our immunity deal with them." "You don't say."

So far, 17 people in my group say Hillary is winning; 3 say Trump. Tax question weakened him, birther question destroyed him. #DebateNight

A speech to make Republican elites feel sickened (as they should be) by what their party has nominated.
