Harvard students are not the only ones protesting. Gotta love the professors wearing stickers that read "Without our international students, Harvard is not Harvard."

Andrew: Thanks for the magnificent post that is, appropriately, full of fear, trembling, and gravitas. Let's head Robespierre off at the pass!

Thank you, Andrew. I have a question regarding Harvard and the claim that it’s anti-Semitic. There are many Jewish professors who have been there for decades. What is the truth

From one perspective, it’s scary. From the following perspective, it is less scary.

There are three types of people in the world. Type 1s don't just criticize. They can dish it out and they can take it. Type 2s can dish it out, but they can’t take it. Type 3s keep their mouths shut. Pope Donald the Infallible, along with every one of his supporters, are Type 2s or Type 3s. When the number of Type 1s in America reaches a critical mass, authoritarianism dies, and democracy rises from the ashes.

Andrew, do you think the Supreme Court will uphold the recent ruling declaring Trump‘s reckless erratic unilateral tariffs unlawful? Aside from being a grotesque locus of corruption as companies and countries struggle for an advantage, it seems lplain as day in the constitution that this is a power that falls to Congress. But we’ve seen this Supreme Court do incomprehensible things before like grant this president virtually total immunity. Time and again they have overturned settled law. Would love your thoughts on this matter if you get a chance.

When these cases get to SCOTUS, I think it's pretty clear the "unitary executive" majority will reverse most of the protection afforded our system by the lower courts. The Roberts court will not hold the line - God help us all.
