Just six days (five, really, given how late the decision dropped) before the rule change, the court rushed to decide a case it didn’t need to decide.

By Daniel Schultz

…nt their leaders to be, but how they want to be led, or how they want to solve these societal problems. Do they want that authoritarian path, or do they want a less authoritarian path? Do you think that’s a reasonable conclusion from your data? I think that that’s right. Yeah, I think it’s an astute way of thinking about this. In many ways, this election is less about policies and more about that kind of [larger] question. Trump can run roughshod…
