@JasonPoe What a phenomenal piece you wrote (linked below).
At a workshop yesterday in San Angelo, Tx, I had a chance to pull up your blog post. Thanks for the shout-out, and highlighting how you had "cross-reference[d] the Kagan strategies with Hattie’s effect sizes to select the strategies with the highest impact on student success." Brilliant!
I had just run into #Kagan in an ESC-20 workshop, and wondered how they aligned to Hattie's work. https://blog.tcea.org/adapting-strategies-for-virtual-learning/ #education #edtech
#Kagan #dissent in student debt case: The most that can be said of theory majority selects, proffered solely by MO is that it is less risible than others. It still contravenes bedrock principle of standing law that plaintiff cannot ride on someone else’s injury. MI is doing just that in relying on injuries to MO Higher Ed Loan Authority a legally, financially independent public corp. That means Court by deciding this case, exercises authority it does not have. It #violates the
#Constitution.

I love reading #Kagan's opinions and dissents. She's great.
I have no faith in the Supreme Court as an institution any longer (I never should have, but I used to in my naïveté).
Since I lost that faith I don't follow them as closely or read as many opinions, but it is nice to go back to it here and there and read some favorite (problematic fave) justices.
«"If #Kagan, #Sotomayor and #Jackson truly believe that it is only the #SupremeCourt that has the ability to govern itself, then they need to be more forceful in putting that self-regulation into practice. They need to be willing to tell #Congress if, as it appears from the outside, there is no effective way for that to happen. And they need to be willing to speak out about whether they believe #Thomas violated the #EthicsCode that they have now signed onto."»

I argue that #Kagan and #Sotomayor should retire for the same reasons #Ginsburg and #Breyer should have retired in 2014. There's no guarantee we'll have a D president and Senate again for another decade or more.

Artbreeder fun with the main characters from my upcoming YA fantasy releasing later this year. Any guesses as to what kind of trouble these two will get into?

Over half our country weren’t happy with those old men’s hubris
How #Justice #Kagan lost her battle as a consensus builder
“You give people a #right and then you #take a right #away. In the meantime, they have understood their lives in a different kind of way. So, #law should be stable. And #judges should be humble,” as the crowd continued to interrupt her with applause. “It’s a kind of #hubris to say we are just throwing that all out because we think we know better.”

#SCOTUS Justice Elena Kagan may be experiencing a crisis of doubt.
In interviews, friends and allies of Justice #Kagan suggest she is at a major crossroads — mulling whether the breakdown in the broader American political scene has rendered her decadelong effort to find compromise and consensus on the #SupremeCourt obsolete, while sowing doubts about her future.
