<\/p>\nYesterday, I changed the ink cartridge in my printer, wich enabled me to print out instructions to do something else which I hadn’t beeen able to accomplish because I couldn’t see the instructions and the screens I was supposed to be performing them on at the same time. I still haven’t accomplished it … but I’m getting closer. Incidentally, I do apologize for not mentioning Rosh Hashanah until now when it’s over. But for those who celebrate, I do hope it was happy. And there are other occasions coming soon to observe.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – Since Aug. 24, that truncated process known as the shadow docket has moved at astronomical speed, producing decisions related to immigration, COVID-19 and evictions and, most recently, abortion. Those three decisions, with the conservative wing of the court in the majority, have the potential to affect millions of people, in a fraction of the time and outside the normal scrutiny signed opinions can bring. \u201cMy memory is, typically, if the Supreme Court was acting in July and August, it was really that quintessential emergency appeal, dealing with something like a death penalty situation. It wasn\u2019t like: What is immigration law going to be in our country? It wasn\u2019t: Will tenants have certain rights? It wasn\u2019t the big substantive questions,\u201d said Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School.

\nQuote – Still, as of Tuesday afternoon, only a handful of companies have spoken out against the law. Corporate America has mostly remained silent, despite its vocal opposition to Texas\u2019s restrictive voting bill that was signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) Tuesday. \u201cIt\u2019s not surprising because this is harder than a number of other issues,\u201d said Sandra Sucher, a professor of management at Harvard Business School. \u201cAbortion is particularly contentious because we know that it relates to people\u2019s religious views, which is kind of a no-go zone for companies.\u201d

\nQuote – Although he acknowledged that new laws banning most abortions, restricting voting, and allowing citizens to carry a gun without a permit or training would dissuade many from visiting Texas, Abbott said that \u201cthere\u2019s more we can do…. Just spitballing here, but what if we mandated that every visitor to Texas got bitten by a dog or poked with a stick of some kind?\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll be damned if that wouldn\u2019t do the trick.\u201d
