The UBER Super Bowl Ad is reprehensible. An entire ad of people eating or swallowing dangerous substances! At times a small line across the bottom: ‘prop food, do not drink liquid soap’. What are you thinking UBER!? Children, college students watching eating of diapers, etc?

Embattled British PM Boris Johnson has a new communications chief, who said on his first day on the job that the PM “is not a complete clown.” Wow. Let’s not go overboard defending the boss.

NFL: Well, you can go a long way without an elite QB— but not all the way. In the end the game belongs to the great QBs.

If you had the Bengals v. The 49’ers as the Super Bowl teams on your pre-season card, please give me a call if you have any stock tips.

Breyer retires. I asked CJ Rehnquist in a public interview at Duke whether it was inappropriate for a Justice to taking into account the politics of the Pres when deciding when to retire: Of course not, he replied, ‘deciding when to retire is not a judicial act.

Yes, Change the Stupid Overtime Rule. BUT thank God we had it for THIS game: it meant that neither of these great QB’s had to “lose”the game w/ an inevitable mistake. Gods of Football could not bring themselves to disfavor either QB. So they let the coin decide.

3)The filibuster in recent years — changing from virtually unlimited debate into what is functionally a 60 vote requirement for voting — if profoundly anti-Constitutional. If proposed at the Constitutional Convention it would have been emphatically rejected.

2)How, you might ask, if it took unanimous consent to vote, did anything ever get voted on? Answer: everyone understood that the rule was about allowing debate to fully explore issues. But all knew AT SOME POINT THERE HAD TO ME A SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE.

1)The recent requirement for the Senate of a supermajority of 60 votes to pass legislation is profoundly anti-Constitutional. The Constitution explicitly sets out every matter that requires a supermajority. For much of history, it took unanimous agreement to end Senate debate.

Would it be an extraordinary step for the 1-6 Committee to question a VICE PRESIDENT? Not if you recall that the following submitted to questioning: Presidents Nixon (Watergate) Ford (Pardon of Nixon) Reagan (Iran Contra) Clinton (Whitewater) Clinton (Monica).

Why don’t more papers and networks put the work “unvaccinated” in the headlines where it belongs, as the N&) did in August.

10) And, given that the last two cases were on an extremely foreshortened schedule, the Solicitor General was, as the baseball writers would say, pitching on short rest. The US was well served.

9)Regardless of the outcome, the OSHA case will be remembered for yet another spectacular oral argument by SG Elizabeth Prelogar. Her arguments in the Mississippi Abortion Case, the Texas Abortion Bounty Case and the OSHA Mandate Case are a trilogy of truly outstanding arguments

I managed to mangle the order (and drop some tweets) in a series of 10 thoughts about the Vaccine Mandate Cases. Here goes another effort.
