Sauer saying something is unconstitutional because it "would be unconstitutional under Justice Scalia's dissent" is a remarkably cogent statement of the Roberts Court's approach to precedent.

The Cubs beat the Padres, 3-1, to advance to the NLDS against the Brewers.
This is the 1st time in franchise history Cubs won a winner-takes-all playoff game at Wrigley and their 1st postseason series win since 2017.

I am absolutely delighted by this. This is incredibly convenient (especially for me, who grew up down the street from here) and to the city via the Purple Line (I've done this trip a million times, it's easy). Stadium is gorgeous too.
A new era begins 🌟
In a historic day for our club, we’re thrilled to announce that Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium will be our home next season, making our matches more accessible than ever.

BIG NEWS, the Stars have their next head coach!
He is currently the coach of Hammarby in his native Sweden
His Norway teams got grouped at the Euros twice either side of a World Cup quarterfinal run
Also, his time with Norway exactly mirrored Ada Hegerberg’s protest away from the team #nwsl

Now that it's been a bit, I must say how disappointed I was that outlets that ordinarily cover women's soccer admirably (@theguardian.com @theathleticfc.bsky.social) or exclusively (@equalizersoccer.bsky.social) absolutely dropped the ball on WAFCON/Copa America coverage as compared to the Euros

There have been some ice-cold penalties in this Copa America semfinal shootout (in stark contrast to this setting at EURO 2025).
As we've seen all WAFCON (especially now in this final comeback), Nigeria absolutely have that type of depth and (accordingly) an advantage over everyone else in this tournament.

Been comparing Italy and Sweden all evening, but with both, you could see as they had to make subs, they were getting weaker, whereas when Sarina goes to her bench, her team doesn't weaken, but throws an entirely new problem at tired defences. A depth few others at the Euros can boast.
