Private equity drove a nursing home chain into the ground.
Then it declared bankruptcy, which could let it off the hook for hurting patients.
Now, it's trying to sell the company to the same people who bankrupted it.

Kavanaugh's statements make the problem worse, not better. If the reason SCOTUS is using cryptic shadow docket orders is because "five" of them can't "reach a consensus or a compromise on a particular issue that might be difficult," then that order should not be precedential —there's no majority.
Brett Kavanaugh says there’s a good reason Supreme Court rulings can sometimes be so cryptic
In remarks to a judicial conference, Kavanaugh also defended Chief Justice John Roberts.

"Eugenics was rooted in rational modern science then" needs re-stating. Far too many people describe eugenics as a "pseudoscience", but it wasn't to those who studied it, wrote books and papers, formed societies and argued its benefits.
But that was also rooted in „rational“, modern science then and these eugenicist elements are still present in science today. I think it’s dangerous, as Gourevitch does, to act as if this logics aren’t deeply rooted in specific forms of modernity, rationality and science.
