Reason time!

Here’s two takes on Biden’s Supreme Court reform proposals. One from the Volokh Conspiracy and one from Reason. My opinion? I like the idea of twenty year term limits on the Supreme Court, but if and only if the judicial filibuster is established in law. I would like some more generational turnover, but I don’t want justices becoming enmeshed in the campaign fray. Also, it would help if Congress would do their damned job.

Israel pulled off a pair of spectacular assassinations. You will excuse me if I’m unmoved by the death of terrorist leaders.

A thinkpiece on the current wave of political violence.

On to other news links.

The Brother sent me this link to an LA Times article on a Los Angeles UBI pilot that saw much more favorable results than the study I linked to last week from Reason.

Reporting from The Reload on the judge denying New York’s demand for a monitor over the NRA. Also, WLP is banned from holding a position in the NRA for a decade. There were also some other recommendations. I’m still leery of rejoining the NRA in light of the recent appointments of the old guard to key committees and reformers being almost exclusively shut out of those committees.

Turkey took silver in the mixed air pistol. One of their shooters has gone viral with his lack of gear and nonchalant shooting style. The gun blogosphere has been going all in on skills over gear.

Now for a trio of Florida-centric stories.

An article from the local news station that shockingly that the people showing up at the door to sell stuff ignore the laws about solicitation. This is the equivalent of them writing an article that Florida has a lot of storms in the summer. I treat every person who comes to my door selling something as a probable crook – either trying to scam me out of money or casing my place for robbing later.

Tampa Business Journal article reporting the bankruptcy of the century-old Florida furniture store Badcock. This is of interest in the Ward household because The Wife worked for Badcock for a stint, and we ended up with some furniture from them.

Finally, a story that caters to my weeb side, Japanese bargain store Daiso is coming to Tampa. In particular, the location looks like it’s not too far from Mom’s place.
