Clinton supports charters, “but there are very important caveats,” Edley said. “She believes we should … get back to one of the principal purposes of charters, which was to innovate and then export successful innovations to the rest of the public school system. We just haven’t done that,” he said. “Let’s be much more intentional about exporting the successes, and about closing down the charters that are not performing up to expectations.”

“What we’re doing a really good job of, at least to the extent that it works, is preparing people to argue cases in the D.C. Circuit. …. One thing I think we’re doing particularly poorly is preparing people to argue and represent clients for participative government lawyers in administrative proceedings, where a lot of the action is.”
John Yoo quoted by The Washington Post, Oct. 12, 2016
For John Yoo, the conservative legal scholar … Trump “reminds me a lot of early Mussolini. . . . Very, disturbingly similar. …” Yoo said Trump’s promise to appoint a special prosecutor to go after Clinton is “a compounded stupidity.”

Once again we have a case in which Silicon Valley’s overreliance on momentum creates an unrealistic proxy for valuation. Snap will reap billions as a result, while Twitter will struggle to salvage what it can from what was once a valuation of more than $40 billion. It is a story that will have real consequences.

“I don’t think we’re going to see a drastically more liberal- or more activist-oriented judges than the current justices. And one of the reasons for that is the makeup of the Senate. … It’s going to be very hard for Clinton to really get confirmation on anybody much to the left of say, Ginsburg.”

“In many ways, these measures are a referendum on the job that Metro is doing,” Elkind said. That could cut either way, he said: commuters pleased with new rail options, or riders frustrated by service problems.

“To end Hyde but to keep McRae in place is to allow public insurance for abortion to float on the political wind,” says Jill E. Adams. … That’s why Adams and CRRJ have focused their attention on overturning McRae. “The dream is for the court to say, ‘The nature of the abortion right compels the state to furnish the resources necessary to ensure equal access by all people,'” Adams says, because it would effectively invalidate public funding bans.
