Your unusual chance to see a comet in the sky is here. C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was discovered by astronomers in 2023 — and will appear to the naked eye over the next couple weeks.

I commend Justice Jackson’s dissent to you, particularly her more detailed description of the case.

Cite as: 603 U.S. — (2024)

JACKSON, J., dissenting
sat on the Portage Board of Works and Public Safety, the entity that managed public bidding on city contracts.
Snyder put one of his friends, Randy Reeder, in charge of the bidding process, despite Reeder's lack of experience in administering public bids. Evidence presented at Snyder's trial showed that Reeder tailored bid specifications for two different city contracts to favor Great Lakes Peterbilt, a truck dealership owned by brothers Robert Buha and Stephen Buha. Evidence also showed that during the bidding process, Snyder was in contact with the Buha brothers, but no other bidders.
Snyder had campaigned on a platform that included automating trash collection, and by December 2012, the city was looking to buy three garbage trucks.

When federal investigators heard about the payment and came calling, Snyder told them the check was for information technology and health insurance consulting services that he had provided to the dealership.
He gave different explanations for the money to Reeder and a different city employee.
Employees at Great Lakes Peterbilt testified that Snyder never performed any consulting work for the dealership.
And during the federal investigation, no written agree-ments, work product, evidence of meetings, invoices, or other documentation was ever produced relating to any consulting work performed by Snyder. All of this confirmed testimony from the dealership's controller, who had cut the check to Snyder: Snyder had instead been paid for an "in-side track.

BREAKING - Today may NOT be the day for the Trump immunity decision from the Supreme Court. There is only one box of opinions in the SCOTUS press room - likely only 1-2 rulings. The immunity decision will probably be one of the last ones issued. Term ends this week - or next.
