I seem to have survived my trip to Oxford. Anything happen while I was away?
Recent Bluessky Posts- 2-1 with Rao in dissent. (And stayed pending appeal to SCT.) Which makes me wonder, when is the last time Rao voted against Trump? If any.... www.nytimes.com/live/2026/08... August 7, 2026 Michael Froomkin
