SCOTUS decided Rahimi, and released the decision first, and <a href=\"https:\/\/joycevance.substack.com\/p\/who-can-have-a-gun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joyce Vance<\/a> posted about that particular decision.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/morningmemo.talkingpointsmemo.com\/p\/a-quick-and-dirty-guide-to-scotus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Talkng Points Memo<\/a> does not link seperately to seperate artices in its Moring Memo. I chose to share this one because of the lead article, &#8220;Quick.. Guide to SCOTUS Malarkey&#8230;.&#8221; including &#8220;Decoding the Cloaked Language&#8230;.&#8221; but there are other segments. When you see &#8220;Rudy Rudy Rudy,&#8221; that&#8217;s where my rec stops. But you can certainly continue if you wish. (Yes, it was posted before any opinions dropped.)<\/p>\n<p>I think Saturday is a good day for sharing this article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebulwark.com\/p\/this-is-why-youre-exhausted-by-politics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">from The Bulwark<\/a> detaling why you need some kind of a break &#8230; and also how to do it without giving up. It&#8217;s in three numbered sections, and all are helpful. Section three does a longish digression (as an analogy); it&#8217;s clearly marked as a quote, so you can easily skip it. I read it so you won&#8217;t have to.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ozTSgYDSzsU?si=kYQY9O2ZmTeQk74b\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KenjW8m-9jc?si=_ZvNsZSG1ZFKj5i4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schrodinger.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schrodinger.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schrodinger-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.politicsplus.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/schrodinger-120x150.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, Robert Reich posted the fourth installment in his DEBUNK series.
