Our Daughter as a youth, reading an aquamarine copy of the book “Latin for all Occasions” on a white carpet

Our Teenage Daughter asked me last year how I am able to talk to people unfamiliar to me with ease. As I starting explaining how in middle school I was thrown in front of a couple thousand people to give a speech at a Latin Convention, I realized how much of that skill is a product of serendipity 👍

Screeenshot from the paper linked above with text as follows: immediate political consequences (effectively ending challenges to the outcome of the 2000 presidential election), the Court's decision remains enduringly controversial, with good reason.11 Some great cases have produced very good judicial decisions. But at least some support Holmes's claim: sometimes the magnitude of the stakes: the "immediate overwhelming interest" in the outcome: partisan passions; a sense of urgency compressing the time for analysis and judg-ment all come together to irretrievably skew the performance of judicial duty. Sometimes great cases overwhelm judges' capacity to engage in careful and principled legal reasoning. Trump v. Anderson was such a case. It was a great and momentous case by any measure. It presented the hugely important constitutional question whether a former Presi-dent of the United States is constitutionally disqualified from holding that office again-or any significant office-by Section Three of the Four-teenth Amendment. Specifically, it posed the explosive question whether the 45th President of the United States, having sworn an oath to support the Constitution as president, had subsequently "engaged in" conduct constituting "insurrection or rebellion" against the U.S. consti-tutional order. 12 The facts found at trial showed that then-President Donald Trump engaged in an attempt to overthrow the lawful result of the presidential election of 2020, including by summoning a mob of sup-porters to Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 and inciting them to attack the capitol, with the goal of preventing the electoral count from certifying Trump's lawful defeat. 13 The Colorado Supreme Court had held, as a matter of federal constitutional law, that Trump-again a can-didate for the presidency in 2024-was disqualified from that office by Section Three and that this in turn made him legally ineligible to the state's ballot as a matter of Colorado election law. 14 On Januar…

Screenshot from the paper linked above with text as follows: the case presented several major constitutional questions, one after an-other, and several of them were fairly novel. Sorting through the issues presented by Section Three-attending carefully to constitutional text. structure, history, logic, and original meaning, and then faithfully ap-plying that meaning was not an afternoon's work. 16 (And the Court did not believe it had a great many afternoons left in which to do the requi-site work: the March 5 date of the Colorado primary loomed before it. just a month after the date of oral argument.) Moreover, even if the law itself might not have been all that hard, the challenges of following the law where it led-of overcoming contrary initial instincts, inclinations, and intuitions; of being willing to displease friends, past allies, and pow-erful political figures or movements-might remain a difficulty. All in all, the institutional, political, and personal pressures on the justices presented by Trump v. Anderson were enormous. It is fair to say that Trump v. Anderson required the justices to rise to the de-mands of the occasion in a way perhaps unrivaled in the Court's history. They did not do so. Unlike great cases where the press of time and circumstances had the effect of concentrating the judicial mind to pro-duce important landmark constitutional decisions, the Court produced a flimsy decision in a high-stakes. high-profile, high-intensity, tight-deadline case. Trump v. Anderson is, unfortunately, a prime example of exactly what Holmes was concerned about. It was a "great case" that made risible constitutional law. "insurrection," "rebellion," "aid or comfort," "enemies," "officer, etc.-have principled, discernible constitutional meaning, ascertainable by employing familiar practices for discovering and faithfully applying the original, objective public meaning of constitu-tional and other legal texts? (Yes.) Id. at 674-730. Does the original meaning of…

Screenshot from the paper linked above with text as follows: was by sweeping them aside, blinking at its judicial duties, and concoct-ing a bogus federalism rationale that let them avoid answering the real questions in the case. Trump v. Anderson settled very little, but it did allow the Justices to reverse the Colorado Supreme Court, put Trump back on the ballot, and move on. while presenting a (somewhat) united façade. Justice Barrett made the Court's attention to appearances sadly transparent: "For present purposes, our differences are far less im-portant than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case." And then the clinching, closing sentence: "That is the message Americans should take home." But is it? Of course, judicial opinions should strive to persuade readers-litigants, leaders, lawyers, and lay citizens alike-of the legal correctness of the Court's conclusions, through sound legal argument and careful legal analysis. But should it really be thought the business of the Supreme Court to adjust the nation's political temperature, man-age public opinion, or instruct Americans on the "message" they "should take home" from the Court's decisions?155 What the Justices should do, individually and collectively, is nothing more or less than apply the Constitution as law, consistently, in a principled fashion. Each Justice swore an oath to "administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich." and to "faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me... under the Constitution and laws of the United States."156 Did the justices really adhere to this oath in Trump v. Anderson, or did they shrink from a faithful and impartial application of the Constitution, paying too much respect to particular persons and particular pressures? The "message Americans should take home" from Trump v. An-derson is that when it wants to, the Supreme Court will find a way to avoid performing …

A screenshot from the short story "The Marching Morons" by CM Kornbluth as linked in the post above and text as follows: While Rogge-Smith was still at the door, Barlow snapped, "What's the meaning of this? Why haven't I been consulted? How far have you people got and why have you been working on something I haven't authorized?" "Didn't want to bother you, Chief," said Rogge-Smith. "It was really a technical matter, kind of a final cleanup. Want to come and see the work?" Mollified, Barlow followed his statistician down the corridor. "You still shouldn't have gone ahead without my okay," he grumbled. "Where the hell would you people have been without me?" "That's right, Chief. We couldn't have swung it ourselves; our minds just don't work that way. And all that stuff you knew from Hitler-it wouldn't have occurred to us. Like poor Black-Kupperman." They were in a fair-sized machine shop at the end of a slight upward incline. It was cold. Rogge-Smith pushed a button that started a motor, and a flood of arctic light poured in as the roof parted slowly. It showed a small spaceship with the door open. Barlow gaped as Rogge-Smith took him by the elbow and his other boys appeared: Swenson-Swenson, the engineer; Tsutsugimushi-Duncan, his propellants man; Kalb-French, advertising. "In you go, Chief," said Tsutsugimushi-Duncan. "This is Poprobterm." "But I'm the world Dictator!" "You bet, Chief. You'll be in history, all right-but this is necessary, I'm afraid." The door was closed. Acceleration slammed Barlow cruelly to the metal floor. Something broke and warm, wet stuff, salty-tasting, ran from his mouth to his chin. Arctic sunlight through a port suddenly became a fierce lancet stabbing at his eyes; he was out of the atmosphere. Lying twisted and broken under the acceleration, Barlow realized that some things had not changed, that Jack Ketch was never asked to dinner however many shillings you paid him to do your dirty work, that murder will out, that crime pays only tem…
