If Janus overrules Abood v. Detroit Board of Education and says that everyone doesn't have to pay union dues, does this mean that unions only have to represent dues-paying members? My understanding is that the reasoning in Abood was that since everyone benefits, everyone has to pay.

The fact that there is such a big difference between Public and Private Universities based on an ever decreasing amount of tax money is lame.
This brings up an interesting point. If the state is only giving the public university a pittance, when is that school no longer considered public?

You could also make the argument that when voter suppression happens, those states should start losing Representatives based on the 14th, but that's equally unlikely.

Or you could just completely ignore it. Congress was deadlocked after the 1920 census. So they just let the 1910 census stand for 23 years. :shrug:
They'd have to pass a new apportionment act (the 1929 one is the latest), which again would require the House.

If this goes through and the Title VII protections are removed, could a company choose to fire people for not being LGBTQ?

Question - are these Reader's Digest versions too long (should I try to condense the arguments yet more), or is this about right to give a sense of the arguments that are in play?
I think they're a good length.

Has Article 14 ever been enforced, where if you do voter suppression your population is considered to be lower and you start losing Representatives?

If Texas pushes too hard, New Mexico can just not store water, leaving Texas to deal with the excess.

That oyster case is fascinating. Florida has spent ten years trying to scapegoat Georgia for its oyster collapse when their own witnesses can't even back up that argument. Why were they even bothering to waste the money at that point?
As long as the case was ongoing they could use Georgia as a scapegoat for Florida's oyster regulation failures.

Is it though? What’s the constitutional authority that a state can’t legalize murder? Nobody has done it because that’s insane, but…
Murder is unlawful killing. Plenty of examples of the state changing the law to make whatever killing you want to regulate lawful, e.g. Florida's Stand Your Ground law, capital punishment, or police shootings, without any sort of constitutional issue.

So with this ruling, if hypothetically the Speaker led a coup that killed off the President and Vice President, they'd be the legal president unless Congress passed a law (which the newly anointed coup President can veto) saying it was an insurrection? I guess the same holds true for anyone in the line of succession.
