Outside the Beltway

We’ve created some perverse incentives.

Plus, I question the timing.

Partisan gerrymandering just got a bit easier.

The two oldest members of the Supreme Court are taking a big gamble.

The case has major implications beyond the taxation issue.

Of course, “policy-making” is giving more credit than is due.

Trump’s style may obscure a lack of substance.

Permanent damage appears to be coming (oh, and it enhances the authoritarian power of the presidency as well).

A bit of good news.

It’s not what you think.

SCOTUS appears ready to supercharge gerrymandering.

The term which kicked off this week wil decide whether we effectively have a king.

Passing a budget the President can ignore creates a dilemma.

SCOTUS continues to favor the executive over the legislature.

The Shadow Docket strikes again.

An odd, impactful ruling.

A correct but disturbing ruling.

For all practical purposes, the Constitutional war powers have been stood on their head.

She’s making no one happy.

Or does it?

The Trump administration is trying to get a ruling on one issue while sidestepping the merits of the case.

They’ve reversed a lower court ruling. For now.

There may be no exit.

It’s good to be king.
