Surprised that randomly imposing punitive tariffs on every country on earth, pausing some of them, and then trying to strike ad hoc “deals” isn’t working out

“Pontius Pilot is a very good governor. Very tough. Not an easy province. Judaea! Lot of crime. Bad stuff… but great beaches! He’s cleaning it right up, though! Putting in hotels and mangers… One tough hombre... Crucified criminals! Nails right through their hands!”

very much of the view that a democratic congress should wield the guarantee clause against ad hoc, mid-decade redistricting, a practice which is an end run against representative government itself
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has allowed Alabama to select a different map for this year’s congressional elections in a stunning, last-minute move to interfere with another state primary election that has already begun. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker
