An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

TLDR: feeling good about being part of a democratic process (and tonight’s result!), but the rot is still rotting.

Thrilled by over 70% turnout for my neighborhood! So burnt out by seeing (in person!) the rot of mistrust in basic process, and being responsible for responding to hours of baseless accusations - while making sure eligible voters can cast a ballot and have it counted.

They got pretty animated, with escalating accusations of voter fraud over the most banal processes, like using a touch-screen “express vote” to mark a ballot (the most accessible way to vote in WI!).

Not to be dramatic (but somehow not dramatic enough)

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent.

CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN.

Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture.

MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.
