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

Cite as: 603 U.S. — (2024) 13 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. It issued an invitation to bid on the contract, listing specific requirements for the trucks. Reeder testified that he crafted some speci-fications, including delivery within 150 days, knowing they wou
14 SNYDER U. UNITED STATES JACKSON, J., dissenting paid the Buha brothers a visit at their dealership. "I need money," he said. App. 72. He asked for $15,000; the dealership gave him $13,000. 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. •'" App. to Pet. for Cert. 60a-61a. A federal gr
assess in the first instance whether any instructional error was prejudi-cial. Under our current precedent, Snyder is not entitled to automatic relief due to a mere instructional error. See, e.g., Greer v. United States, 593 U. S. 503, 507, 513 (2021).

For non-experts, Alex Spiro is Elon's lawyer. Spiro is not licensed in Texas. He also has not applied to the court to be admitted in Texas just for this case (what we call pro hac vice). That means that if he signs a court filing in Texas, it could be unlicensed practice of law.

WashPo: 23rd perspective juror is what this reporter could only describe as "a mountain of a man." When he asked about his occupation, he responded "Yes he deserves to die. I hope he rots in hell." When questioned about this he looked at a camera that doesn't exist and uttered "any time, any place."

Updated price data shows that wage growth continues to outpace price growth, leading to a strong real wage increase. For non-managerial workers (80% of workforce), real average hourly earnings are higher than expected based on pre-pandemic (2015-19) trends.

No shit. I don't have anything against the Prince personally, but I'm never going to take seriously the opinion of a person born to the wild privilege and wealth of an archaic institution who the NYT is only quoting because he was born to said privilege and wealth.
