[EL] Note of...Tension in AP Piece on Supreme Court?

It is true that I do link to pieces on my blog which relate to the
Supreme Court more broadly and not to election law. A few years ago we
had a discussion on the list whether I should stop sending my posts to
the list given that a small portion are tangential. If I recall the
outcome of the discussion, most listserv readers wanted the convenience
of getting my posts to the list even if there were some posts which
could be somewhat off-topic. But the idea is that general list
discussion (as opposed to items in my blog posts) would focus on the
business of election law.
We could reopen that discussion I suppose, and I'm happy to consider not
sending out my blog posts directly to the list any longer, but I suggest
we wait until after election day to undertake that discussion if there
is interest.
What I do not want (and what I hear others do not want) is general
discussion on the list which strays from the topic of election law.
