Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. What did corporations do with the money saved? They didn’t invest it or raise wages. They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect. Nothing trickled down to workers.

There's an analogy to the joke about the college dean, unhappy with the expensive equipment the physics department needed, whereas math only needed pencils and erasers; and philosophy only needed pencils.

My three immunity-related SCOTUS stories at Law Dork this week: 1. The ruling: www.lawdork.com/p/robertss-m... 2. The conservatives: www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-dec... 3. The chief justice: www.lawdork.com/p/the-spinel...

The spinelessness of John Robertswww.lawdork.com Chief Justice John Roberts doesn't want to lead. He is, though, carefully setting up a path to allow the right-wing court to respond to whatever comes its way in 2025.

Alas, Biden's reaction was closer to "I'll be damned. 'To Serve Man' is a cookbook! I promise not to use these recipes!"
