10+ min ago (320+ words) Ten years after Donald Trump first ran for president, he stands at the helm of Titanic America. How did this happen? No factors were more pivotal than the outlooks and actions of the Democratic Party leadership. Scrutinizing them now is vital not only for clarity about the past. It also makes possible a clear focus on ways to prevent further catastrophe. Here's actual history that corporate Democrats pretend didn't happen: 2017:" Democratic Party leaders can hardly blame themselves or their nominee for the virtually unbelievable circumstance of the Trump presidency. A critical focus on Clinton's coziness with Wall Street won't do. Neither will critiquing her thinly veiled contempt for the progressive wing of the party. But blaming Trump's victory on Russia becomes an obsessive theme. 2018:" The Democratic leadership is mapping out a battle plan for the midterm elections in November. At…...

17+ min ago (282+ words) I am pleased to introduce SCOTUSblog readers to the Interim Docket Blog, where Will Baude, Dan Epps, I, and surely others, will comment on Supreme Court interim orders and related matters. An interim order is a non-final judicial decision that determines which party's position controls in the interim between the filing of a lawsuit and its final resolution.

In short, interim orders " especially but not exclusively for issues of executive power " have emerged as a track parallel to merits decisions for the practical resolution of important federal questions. Yet interim orders tend to be harder to understand than merits decisions due to the paucity of explanation, the technical rules that…...
