And the more shows we do, the more it feels that the wheels of government are powerful, but slow.

So if you want to get something done, the reason perhaps you decided to get involved in politics in the first place, it might be easier to just use a shortcut.

You don't want to write a bill, cut and paste from another one. You don't want to go through the rigour meral of amendments in a house vote, do it under suspension of the rules.

You know, decide for yourselves.

It's also perfectly fair game to say that the court got it wrong, but I think if you're going to make the latter claim that the court got it wrong, you have to engage with the courts reasoning first.

And I think you should read the opinion and see, well, does this read like something that was purely-

Twitch My Response is great! What if there's no opinion to read?

This is Steven Vlada, he holds the Charles Allen Wright Chair in Federal Courts at University of Texas School of Law.

He is a book on the shadow-darket coming out spring of 2023. He is also testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the shadow-darket.
