Utah Supreme Court just smacked down the legislature once again. Love to see it. (For context the leg has been trying to neuter citizen-led ballot initiatives and the court isn’t having it) https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2024/09/25/votes-amendment-d-will-not-be/

Back in the US, went to Chilis last night. Better service than I had in an entire month in Europe.

Dmitri Alperovitch argues that we’re in a Cold War with China and that we should strive to maintain global hegemony and Bob pushes back. I appreciate Bob’s skepticism of American hegemony but I find it hard to disagree with a lot of what Dmitri says. https://youtu.be/rc0-R31z51s?si=D6_0GSpFoq_izume

The legal profession is often thought of as conservative, archaic and resistant to change, but huge changes are coming soon to the licensure process in many states. Washington and Oregon do not require a bar exam to get licensed. Instead you just have to graduate, practice under supervision, do some pro bono, and pass a short MPT-style skills-based exam. Minnesota, Nevada, South Dakota, and Utah are soon to implement a similar process. The big hurdle now is the lack of reciprocity between states, but this will improve eventually. 17 states will also implement the Next Gen Bar soon which which will focus much more on skills vs memorization. It will also remove several traditional subjects and add skills like client counseling, negotiation, and research. Overall I think these are hugely beneficial changes. The bar exam is a massive waste of time and money and tests your capacity for suffering and memorization over actual lawyering skills. Next step: make law school two years vs. three.

@micsolana ‘s take in the recent pod about the Kamala stuff being authoritarian feels kinda handwringey to me. Delegates, who are themselves elected, still get to vote for a replacement at the convention. VP would be obvious choice as they’ve already been voted for implicitly. This is basically still a democratic process. Maybe donors and insiders forcing Biden to step down is the authoritarian part. This seems more plausible if Pelosi and others were negotiating in secret about overthrowing the current nominee. But the process happened fairly publicly + in response to abysmal polling and public outcry following the debate. NOBODY wanted Biden to be nominee. Would it have been more democratic for him to refuse to step down? It’s also just a nominee position, not an elected office. No government is getting overthrown. Would have been ideal for him to have dropped out early on and have a primary, but this is basically the second best option. Same thing would’ve happened if he had suddenly died.
