NYT-How a Scholar Nudged the Supreme Court Toward Its Troop Deployment Ruling (gift article)

[stopdiggin]

1. thanks. informative and worthwhile.

I like it when people lay out the underlying nuts and bolts of legal theory/argument. (this one being fairly straightforward - regular forces means army, not law enforcement) (which - on the face of it, seems a little surprising for a 'win' with this court - given that the national guard has traditionally been used in so many and varied capacities?). Nonetheless ... Thumbs up for the Supremes - and a bump for 'checks and balances'.

And lets not forget, the NYT - again, with solid reporting.
