Why does the modern

seem so prone to counter-majoritarian decisionmaking? In a new

@kumar.fyi
and I argue that the Court's relationship to democratic politics has changed as parties have become more cohesive and competitive.

The SCOTUS majority that struck Trump's
#tariffs
argued extensively about whether to use the major questions doctrine (MQD) to do so. Why would the use of this doctrine matter? In a recent article,
@kumar.fyi
and I discuss the emergence of the MQD and its high stakes for policymaking.

Really thoughtful stuff, as always from, from Shai. His work on power imbalances in rental housing couldn’t be more urgent.

Not only are these shifts insignificant but models giving Trump a ~60% chance of winning will be fodder for a potential election deniers. I don’t see the value in the forecasting obsession.

do you understand why this is basically a meaningless change from last week? what is the meaningful difference between a 49.9% chance and a 49.4% chance? and what does this mean, concretely, on the ground? does Trump have a .5% better chance of turning out his supporters than Harris?
