...Justice Kagan, no fan of the MQD, will hold their feet to the MQD fire and make Learning Resources their Ramos.
It'd be quite the spectacle for justices who struck down Biden’s loan-forgiveness for resting on a thin statutory reed to bless Trump’s tariffs on an even flimsier one.

I would be shocked if this was the case...
I just can't see how a hastily negotiated trade truce ends a decade of outright hostility and things go back to the Obama years...
Maybe a cooling in tensions. But I can't see it lasting.

The question journalists need to be asking is: WHY is the government trying this?
It’s because they want to control universities in unlawful ways that courts will not allow; it’s not working; so they’re trying to get universities to sign up “voluntarily” for unlawful levels of government control.
