As we all wait for Callais to come down, our piece showing that Shelby County increased the racial turnout gap in most of the covered parts of the country has cleared the replication check and is incoming at JOP.

The SG has filed his reply letter brief in the Chicago case involving the National Guard. I've already filed two briefs in the case that address the vast majority of what the SG writes here, but perhaps it's worthwhile to respond to a few discrete things. [1]

See the Necessary and Proper Clause instead:
