Yet another - truly galling - case in point for Supreme Court term limits.

It’s hard to not get numb to SCOTUS ethics scandals, but this one is really jaw dropping. Judicial ethics 101 is to avoid even an appearance of bias…but w/ a toothless code of conduct there will be no ethics investigation or consequences. nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/…

New Brennan Center report: By 2022, the effect of SCOTUS’s Shelby County decision cost **hundreds of thousands of votes from people of color** in federal elections in the counties formerly covered by pre-clearance. This is a really big deal. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

How many controversies over Supreme Court justices’ ethical choices will we see before the Court recognizes its legitimacy is in grave peril? They must adopt a binding code of ethics. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

Long ago while finishing a new song, my @nwbdtweet bandmate @puhchuh randomly threw out “November 3rd” as a song title. Fate had its say a couple of years later. 10 years ago tonight, on Nov 3rd, I met the soul who would become my husband. wavingdrowning.bandcamp.com/track/november…
