The Constitutional Order
Democrat framing, developing:
BREAKING NEWS: Jim Jordan has been disqualified from operating for Congress in 2024 as a consequence of a violation of Part 3 of the Fourteenth Modification.

No, Jordan hasn’t been disqualified. This can be a fundraising pitch. Count on extra if it really works out.
“The Fourteenth Modification Fantasy” [David Frum, The Atlantic]. “[Eminent jurists] argue that language within the Fourteenth Modification, adopted after the Civil Warfare, ought to debar the coup-plotting ex-president from showing on a poll for any workplace ever once more. Their studying is undisputed. Their conclusions are one other story. The challenge to disqualify Trump from operating for president is misguided and harmful. It gained’t work. If it by some means may work, it will create issues worse even than People already face. In a really perfect world, Trump’s fellow Republicans would deal with this matter by repudiating his crimes and rejecting his candidacy for his or her presidential nomination. Failing that—and it actually appears as if that hope is failing—opponents of Trump should dig deep and beat him on the polls another time. There isn’t a cheat code to win this sport.” • I hate to seek out myself in settlement with Frum, however wants should. No matter what the textual content of the Structure states, giving election officers of one get together to energy to take away candidates from the different get together from the poll line primarily based on a judgement name is a change to the Constitutional order (albeit an unwritten portion of that order). The “eminent jurists” have pointed to the Rubicon and mentioned, “Yep! Let’s cross it. What may go incorrect?”
“The Constitutional Case for Barring Trump from the Presidency” (interview) [J. Michael Luttig, The New Yorker]. Luttig explains the “self-executing” facet of the Fourteenth Modification, giving the instance of the age requirement. The Structure requires {that a} President be 35 years outdated. Subsequently, election officals should stirke their identify from the poll. However: “right here is vastly extra judgment entailed in figuring out whether or not, as an example, the previous President engaged in an rebel or riot than in figuring out whether or not a candidate was thirty-five years outdated. That doesn’t relieve the obligated election official from making that dedication. The method for putting people on the poll varies from state to state. However, underneath our studying of the Fourteenth Modification, a person election official may make that call himself or herself. As a sensible matter, is that prone to happen? It might rely, I believe, on the workplace of the election official. If it had been the secretary of state who was charged with putting people on the poll, then I imagine that call by the duly appointed state official would suffice. However, in all occasions, whoever makes the qualification or the disqualification determination and whether or not they make it, that call can be instantly challenged, most likely by the previous President himself. And that problem would go straight into court docket—both state or federal—and it will ultimately make its solution to the Supreme Court docket of the USA.” • Nevertheless, the purpose of entry is a disqualification by an election official on the state degree. Fits by people are frivolous.
The beginning of a fantastic friendship:
This good explication by @judgeluttig is my understanding as effectively. It’s essential to remember as litigation round Part 3 disqualification of Donald Trump and others will get underway within the coming days and weeks. Watch this area. https://t.co/kkNbCbiQ7F

* * * “The Sweep and Drive of Part Three” [William Baude and Michael Stokes Paulsen, University of Pennsylvania Law Review]. I extremely advocate this piece (and the following dialogue at NC, beginning right here). As a former English main and a fan of shut studying, I’m not averse to “originalism,” of which Baude and Paulsen present a magisterial instance, within the sense that understanding the legislation as a textual content should start with understanding the plain, public that means of the phrases used when the textual content was written. That’s how I learn Shakespeare, or Joyce, so why not the Structure? Simply so long as understanding doesn’t finish there! In any case, I’m working by way of it. One factor I discover is that there do appear to have been somewhat plenty of rebellions and insurrections, not simply the Civil Warfare. To me, that is parallel to 1 lesson I drew from Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast (episode 1): There are somewhat plenty of revolutions, too. Alert reader Pensions Man summarizes Baude and Paulsen as follows:]
The authors undergo an exhaustive textual and originalism evaluation of Part Three, and their Federalist Society leanings don’t deter them from reaching their conclusion that officers in each State who’re charged with figuring out candidate {qualifications} ought to conclude that Donald Trump is disqualified from being on ballots due to the oath he took on Inauguration Day 2017 and subsequently violated by way of his position within the rebel that happened on January 6, 2021.
Taking “rebel” as learn (I have to do extra studying), extra on my persevering with protection of Part Three.
Capitol Seizure
“Proud Boys who led march to Capitol get two of the lengthiest sentences since Jan. 6 assault” [Politico]. A “march”? Not an rebel? Or a coup? The entire article is sloppy like this, and doesn’t even give the statute underneath which they had been convicted. Nevertheless, this caught my eye: “‘It’s nearly seductive in how tangible a future act like this could possibly be,’ the prosecutor added. ‘” • That is fascinating, as a result of isn’t the actual challenge “We’re going to make use of drive to realize our political ends”? (Be aware the usage of “drive” versus “violence.” Is a picket line “drive”? How about loud chanting right into a megaphone? And so on.) If that’s the case, then, why the extra verbiage of “It simply takes slick propaganda and an setting the place you encourage folks to mainly say, ‘It’s us in opposition to them’”? Are we then to outlaw “divisiveness”? Mandate “unity”? Will we are saying that if the propaganda is “slick” sufficient, the attraction to “drive” doesn’t have to be specific? Little doubt we are able to ask the Censorship Industrial Complicated to reply these questions. See underneath “Spook Nation.”

I missed this in early August. Fascinating that Trump plans to solid out the fascists, communists, and Marxists. What’s he, a centrist? Then once more, he’s additionally going to solid out the warmongers and the deep state. He’s gonna be a busy man! (That is additionally fascinating in that it exhibits a technique Trump could make use of footage from his trials; the implicit message is “For this reason I’m right here” (and, for some fraction of the citizens, “I’m right here for you.” It’s a superb advert; remarkbly, Trump can nonetheless rent expert folks.)

Whereas Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Vivek Ramaswamy eagerly take right-wing positions which can be simple to pillory, Haley is way tougher to pigeonhole. There are 4 notable points the place she has taken politically shrewd positions that might flummox Democrats.” Abortion (“making an attempt to take abortion off the desk for the 2024 election”), local weather (blame China and India), nationwide debt (blame each events), and Ukraine (not “wobbly”). Extra: “If the Republicans had been a rational political get together, they’d shortly grasp that Haley’s coverage positions, in addition to her persona as an Indian American lady, make her most likely the strongest candidate in opposition to Biden.” • I’d like to see a Haley/Harris debate. Harris may recast herself because the Indian… she as soon as solid herself as!

One may view the organs of state safety as having constructed a number of traces of protection in opposition to the “incorrect” determination on the poll in 2024: (1) counting the votes (and sustaining the voter rolls), per Jeh Johnson; (2) constraining the poll traces, per ODNI and ODNIC (see, e.g., Hunter Thompson’s laptop computer). As well as, (3) a brand new line of protection is being constructed to constrain the poll line with election officers, underneath the Fourteenth Modification concept.
Democrats en Déshabillé
Affected person readers, it appears that evidently persons are really studying the back-dated put up! However I’ve not up to date it, and there are numerous updates. So I must try this. –lambert
I’ve moved my standing remarks on the Democrat Celebration (“the Democrat Celebration is a rotting corpse that may’t bury itself”) to a separate, back-dated put up, to which I’ll periodically add materials, summarizing the addition right here in a “reside” Water Cooler. (Hopefully, some Bourdieu.) It seems that defining the Democrat Celebration is, in actual fact, a tough downside. I do assume the paragraph that follows is on level all the best way again to 2016, if not earlier than:
The Democrat Celebration is the political expression of the category energy of PMC, their base (lucidly defined by Thomas Frank in Hear, Liberal!). ; if the Democrat Celebration didn’t exist, the PMC must invent it. . (“PMC” modulo “class expatriates,” in fact.) Second, all of the working components of the Celebration reinforce one another. Depart apart characterizing the relationships between parts of the Celebration (ka-ching, however not fully) these parts comprise a community — a Flex Internet? An iron octagon? — of funders, distributors, apparatchiks, electeds, NGOs, and miscellaneous mercenaries, with belongings within the press and the intelligence group.
Be aware, in fact, that the category energy of the PMC each expresses and is restricted by different courses; oligarchs and American gentry (see ‘industrial mannequin’ of Ferguson, Jorgensen, and Jie) and the working class spring to thoughts. Suck up, kick down.

Covid is Airborne
Readers, I’m repeating this due to my plea for a PDF. Thanks!
“Public Well being is a Job for Engineers” (abtract) [Mechanical Engineering]. The deck: “Physicians Can Treatment Ailments, however Mechanical Engineers Construct Defenses To Ward Off Pathogens Defore They Infect.” The Summary: “As a substitute of ready to combat ailments contained in the human physique, engineering can set up traces of protection additional out by both intercepting and neutralizing the pathogens earlier than they attain people or diluting them a lot that they’ll’t construct up an infective load.

Case Information
NOT UPDATED From BioBot wastewater information, August 31:
Lambert right here: Completely satisfied reminiscences of tape-watching days! Resuming our upward climb, at a slower tempo.
Regional information. As we are able to see, the nationwide flattening was as a result of Midwest downward swoop:
Yesterday’s Water Cooler was filled with charts that confirmed why I used to be doubtful concerning the Midwest downward swoop, which now appears to be reversing itself, I don’t know whether or not as a result of information, backward revisions, or what.
Variants
From CDC, September 2:
Lambert right here: Prime of the leaderboard: EG.5 (“Eris“). No BA.2.86 right here, not even within the observe, however see beneath at Positivity.
From CDC, August 19:
Lambert right here: Undecided what to make of this. I’m used to seeing a brand new variant take down the beforehand dominant variant. Right here it appears to be like like we now have a “tag group,” all working collectively to chop XBB.1.5 right down to dimension. I positive hope the volunteers doing Pangolin, on which this chart relies upon, don’t all transfer on the inexperienced fields and pastures new (or have their entry to services lower by directors of unwell intent).
CDC: “As of Might 11, genomic surveillance information can be reported biweekly, primarily based on the provision of constructive take a look at specimens.” “Biweeekly: 1. occurring each two weeks. 2. occurring twice every week; semiweekly.” Appears to be like like CDC has chosen sense #1. In essence, they’re telling us variants are nothing to fret about. Time will inform.
Covid Emergency Room Visits
NOT UPDATED From CDC NCIRD Surveillance, August 26:
Lambert right here: I modified this ER chart to a Covid-only chart damaged down by age. Be aware the highlighting.
NOTE “Charts and information offered by CDC, updates Wednesday by 8am. For the previous yr, utilizing a rolling 52-week interval.” So not all the pandemic, FFS (the implicit message right here being that Covid is “similar to the flu,” which is why the seasonal “rolling 52-week interval” is acceptable for eachMR SUBLIMINAL I hate these folks a lot. Discover additionally that this chart exhibits, at the very least for its time interval, that Covid is not seasonal, though CDC is making an attempt to get us to imagine that it’s, presumably to allow them to piggyback on the present institutional equipment for injections.
Hospitalization
NOT UPDATED Bellwether New York Metropolis, information as of August 31:
Nonetheless getting worse. However how a lot worse? I hate this metric as a result of the lag makes it misleading.
NOT UPDATED Right here is CDC’s map…. “In Previous Week,” as a result of there’s no [family blogging date]:
Orange = “substantial improve” (greater than 20%). The cadence: “Maps, charts, and information offered by CDC, updates Mondays and Thursdays by 8 p.m. ET.” So apparently, on Friday, I’ve to match the map right here with the one on the CDC website to see if the replace has, in actual fact, been carried out. Why are they making me assume?
Lambert right here: This appears to be like the identical to me, so both issues are the identical, or CDC’s promised Thursday replace “by 8 p.m. ET” didn’t occur (and it may not have; CDC has type). Can’t they simply time-stamp the [family blogging] web page, like regular human beings?
Positivity
NOT UPDATED Walgreens, August 28:
So, Walgreens is again within the sport (and how on earth did that debacle occur? We breathlessly await the information protection). The proportion of positives is the very best ever, although absolute numbers are nonetheless small relative to previous surges.
NOT UPDATED Cleveland Clinic, August 26:
Lambert right here: I do know that is simply Ohio, however the Cleveland Clinic is sweet*, and we’re starved for information, so…. NOTE * Even when hospital an infection management is making an attempt to kill sufferers by eliminating common masking with N95s.
From CDC, August 14:
Lambert right here: That is the CDC’s “Traveler-Based mostly Genomic Surveillance” information, confirming the present surge, solely two weeks late. Positive can be helpful to know if there have been any BA.2.86 in these samples, although! And now we all know:
I apologize, CDC. I missed this. Fifty lashes with a moist noodle for lambert.
Deaths
Iowa COVID-19 Tracker, August 30:
Lambert right here: The WHO information is nugatory, so I changed it with the Iowa Covid Information Tracker. Their technique: “These information have been sourced, by way of the API from the CDC: https://information.cdc.gov/NCHS/Situations-Contributing-to-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Stat/hk9y-quqm. This visualization updates on Wednesday evenings. Information are provisional and are adjusted weekly by the CDC.” I can’t appear to get a pop-up that exhibits a complete of the three causes (high proper). Readers?
Whole: 1,173,655 – 1,173,5931,173,081 = 62. 62 * 365 = 22,630 deaths per yr, at present’s YouGenicist™ quantity for “residing with” Covid (fairly a bit increased than the minimizers would love, although they’ll speak themselves into something.–> If the YouGenicist™ metric retains chugging alongside like this, I may should determine that is what the powers-that-be think about “mission achieved” for this specific tranche of dying and illness).
Extra Deaths
The Economist, September 1:
Lambert right here: Again to nearly every day. Odd when it’s, odd when it stops. Based mostly on a machine-learning mannequin. (The CDC has an extra estimate too, however because it ran endlessly with an enormous typo within the Legend, I figured no one was actually taking a look at it, so I received rid it. )
