Paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division stand in formation in the town square of Sainte Mere Eglise, France, in June 2019.

Professor Justin Driver’s recent article “The Insignificance of Judicial Opinions,” published in the California Law Review, challenges academia’s received wisdom regarding the centrality of judicial opinions and argues that bottom-line judicial decisions loom much larger than is commonly understood. But Driver says that for both the public and the legal community, “judicial rationales matter far, far less than is commonly asserted.”“[T]his Essay contends not that judicial opinions are irrelevant, only that they are comparatively insignificant,” Driver writes. Why does the legal community focus so much on judicial opinions themselves? Judicial opinions that can be viewed as shoddily reasoned, that is, are nevertheless venerated in constitutional classrooms. That is true for lots of reasons, not least because lawyers dispute the meaning of judicial opinions all day, every day.

Last week, Paul sat down with Good Morning America shortly after the video leaked and news that production on “Secret Lives” had paused.

The criticism follows a Supreme Court decision last month that blocked his use of an emergency law to impose sweeping tariffs. By a 6–3 vote, the majority concluded that the law cited to justify the import duties "does not authorize the President to impose tariffs." "The Supreme Court, that’s right, of the United States, cost our country — all they needed was a sentence — our country hundreds of billions of dollars, and they couldn’t care less. Since the ruling, Trump announced a 10% global tariff under Section 122, "above our normal tariffs already being charged."

Estuardo Mazariegos, who is running to represent District 9 on the Los Angeles City Council, is photographed at City Hall.

Though the thermostat said temps were lower in the evening, it didn’t necessarily feel that way. He shared with us that staying in Kona wasn’t bad at all and, in fact, they had limited rain. Thankfully, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) lines weren’t excessive either at LAX or in Kona. Some travelers have turned to private jets to avoid the hours-long lines at airports. I’m glad they didn’t experience the rain like I saw – or the heat that we had here!
