Monday’s batch of orders brought a rare bit of good news at the Supreme Court. The justices announced that they will hear _Kian v. Florida_ next year, setting the stage for the court to strike down Florida’s Jim Crow–era law allowing six-member criminal juries.
The Sixth Amendment requires, among many other things, that criminal trials be conducted before an “impartial jury.” In nearly every…
Sports are governed by rules. Those rules separate a ball from a strike, a fumble from an incomplete pass, and foul balls from a fair. Without rules, sporting events are nothing more than random people getting some exercise. And without people to enforce those rules, there is no integrity, no fairness, and no genuine competition.

When the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Texas’ gerrymandered congressional map to take effect in December, its conservative majority wrote that a lower court had “improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign” when it blocked the map more than three months before the election.

About a decade ago, I moved into an apartment in Washington, D.C., that seemed like a bargain. The unit was in good shape and in a nice location. The price was reasonable—slightly below market rate, but not suspiciously low for a fourth-floor walkup. I did a brief walkthrough before signing the lease, just in case, only to cut it short when my editor at the time called to let me know that the…

The Supreme Court achieved one of the principal goals of the conservative legal movement by destroying the last remaining pillar of Voting Rights Act of 1965. In Wednesday’s decision in _Louisiana v. Callais_ , the court’s six-justice conservative majority effectively dismantled its protections against racial gerrymandering, and thus rendered the once-mighty law a hollow shell of…

Perhaps the most enlightening…
