Listen as @RachelBarkow addresses the #SupremeCourt’s role in perpetuating #massincarceration: "[our framers] wanted there to be these important constitutional checks and we just really haven't had a court willing to buck up and actually enforce them." 🎙️ https://t.co/FpXr995LCv

The USTA calling on ESPN to censor the crowd reaction when Donald Trump is announced Sunday is outrageous. No broadcaster or media member should ever agree to such a thing. It’s not like there won’t be thousands of social media posts showing the video anyway.

Critics of Illinois’ bail reform warned it would fuel crime and reduce court appearances. Since its enactment, violent & property crime have dropped below pre-COVID levels and failure-to-appear rates have dropped. One can't draw causation but clearly these predictions were wrong.
