we actually have a solid understanding of what the athletic advantages are, and just about every sporting organization developed guidelines to manage them. these laws endrun around those guidelines in order to institute a discriminatory categorical ban.

One reason to hate prediction markets is that they are an endrun around securities laws that were enacted to prevent regular people from getting screwed by insiders.

My view on prediction markets is that they are a sucker's play, an obviously stupid thing to put money into and expect a positive return from, basically the prototypical example of a rigged market but also I don't see how they're any worse than normal forms of gambling on real life events

I suspect that in the UK it's an attempt to do an endrun around recruitment problems without bothering to fix issues around sexual assault during training and family living conditions that really aren't helping.

Republicans want a nationwide abortion ban, but the majority of Americans don't support it.
So instead they are trying to endrun what Americans want by trying backdoor attacks, like defunding Planned Parenthood.

When the judiciary wants money, the Constitution defines a path for that: Ask Congress. *They* control the purse.
There's even a bill to solve all this right now. Instead of raising their own revenue, they could just support the bill and avoid the endrun around Congress and the Constitution. 3/3

Something this doesn't mention is he's tried to do this TWICE already and Congress has said "No" both times. So now he's just doing an endrun around them and doing it anyway.

Florida is a "perjury trap" state. That means the government need only show 2 prior inconsistent statements under oath and not that the most recent one is false. This allows them to do an endrun around the statute of limitations and is regularly used to deter witnesses from recanting testimony.
SCOTUS will not halt Florida's execution of Michael Bell. Sotomayor and Kagan dissent.
Two key trial witnesses against Bell later recanted—but took the Fifth when called to testify about it to avoid perjuring themselves. There was also suppressed evidence of police and prosecutorial misconduct.

All that said, while Lander may not have gotten all the technical aspects right in the moment, morally he is absolutely in the right to object to masked, disguised thugs abducting someone right after their immigration case was dismissed (an endrun around due process in the courts).

"The kids need to go back to class."
I agree.
That doesn't mean the premier should've done an endrun around the legislature and the courts.
If the back-to-work law was defensible, why didn't she defend it before leaving the country?

My guess is that we aren't going to see any recess appointments in the Senate, and that we'll likely seen one or two high profile noms withdrawn. But that'll be cold comfort for Senate power, since all that was true in the first Trump term; the real endrun was the Vacancy Act.
