Conman #3: “Efficiency.”
The rent-seeker wedged between makers and users.

They extract. They don’t enable.

Conman #2: “Growth.”
Flips the same assets over and over and calls it prosperity.
Nothing real improves — not wages, not stability, not life for actual people.

Conman #1: “Innovation.”
Creates the problems it then charges you to solve.

1) SCOTUS is myopically and intentionally wrong.
2) I don't really care what SCOTUS or Lipton think is the definition of corruption. I embrace the Potter Stewart test from 𝐽𝑎𝑐𝑜𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑠 𝑣. 𝑂ℎ𝑖𝑜: I know it when I see it.
3) The fact that we have to discuss this says everything that needs to be said.

Justice Breyer's book, 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, is a more robust review of the Fair Reading approach to constitutional interpretation. Great read and eviscerating to Originalism.
