“You know those jams in the park?
They produced the spark
Made me feel words
How I read books in the dark”

We nerdy early American historians remember how Jefferson's embargo of 1807 turned out for America and for his party. Looking forward to seeing whether history will repeat itself with Trump's tariffs--or will merely rhyme.

Two key points here:
1) This decision isn’t going to go into effect before the election—in MS or anywhere else. It’s instead teeing up a fight for *next* year.
2) The decision is still ludicrous—as is handing it down 11 days before an election in which it isn’t going to apply.

Historian Jack Rakove argues that fixed terms for Supreme Court justices — rather than lifetime appointments — would better serve the founding generation’s goal of judicial independence. bit.ly/484IF0x

Stanford historian and Historians Council member @JRakove weighs in on SCOTUS term limits @BrennanCenter
22 Oct 2024
The Constitution's framers gave Supreme Court justices lifelong tenure to encourage impartiality, but it now tends to promote the opposite effect. Term limits offer a solution. bit.ly/484IF0x

"[O]riginalist jurists end up rewriting the constitutional past based on the logic of the legal present. In that respect, their interpretive approach resembles the living constitutionalism they otherwise disparage." - @TheGNapp
