Thanks for the excellent review of the tariff argument at the Supreme Court! Actually, thank you for all of your excellent reviews of what's happening in law right now. I live in a red State and it helps me to explain my position to others.

2/ I should cabin my opinion right now to note that the appellees have not yet begun their argument. It's *possible*, I guess, that Barrett could have concerns on that side of the argument as well. Or Justice Jackson, from whom we have not yet heard. It's still early.

I would just say every decision of the Roberts court has the presumption that it’s wrong in the same way that no self-respecting lawyer cites cases from the Lochner Era.

6/ That's "no credible evidence" that protests grew out of control, "no evidence" that there was any significant damage to any ICE facility, no credible testimony that ICE was unable to perform its duties & no impact on ICE arrests in and around Portland.

5/ Judge Immergut says she will rule on the merits by Friday. So far, she seems unmoved by the govt's argument that protests in June necessitated sending in troops in October., even under the most deferential standard possible.
