Must-read 
<http://www.libertylawsite.org/2015/05/29/one-man-one-vote-in-texas/>:

    It might be that population-based redistricting in Texas, and for
    that matter in most states, is unwise for this reason. The argument
    that these practices are quite administrable and wholly consistent
    with decades of practice, while true, may not end up being the
    decisive one. The Court has, for once, largely left this matter to
    the political process to decide. But the plaintiffs have lost this
    political battle in Texas, so they now seek to read a newer, narrow
    theory of political representation into the Constitution, a stage
    beyond what even the Warren Court felt comfortable doing—creating an
    ever-more uniform political theory derived under a construction of
    the words “the equal protection of the laws.”

    Texas, along with the other 49 states, has remained free to adopt
    one of several theories of representative government within the
    confines of/Reynolds v. Sims/. But/Evenwel/threatens not only to
    deprive the states of their authority to do so, but also to impose a
    standard that is squarely at odds with the structural design of the
    Constitution: representative government includes representation of
    all persons, not simply voters.

    And one can hope that the Court will leave the development of
    additional political theory to the political branches.

I raised similar concerns about Evenwel, from a different political 
perspective,over at

    “There is a systemic corruption here,” says Sheila Krumholz of the
    Center for Responsive Politics,which tracks campaign money
    <https://www.opensecrets.org/about/>. “It’s kind of baked in.”

    Most politicians are good people. Then they discover that money is
    the only fuel that makes the system work and sometimes step into the
    bog themselves.

    “Elections and campaigns are not the same thing”

    A simple apology would suffice. Instead, campaign finance reformers,
    horrified by the predictable results of their handiwork, aspire to
    yet more regulatory wrinkles to limit political speech. These, too,
    would have consequences unintended and undesired by reformers,
    “requiring” a new round of reforms. But the Constitution, properly
    construed, requires a wall of separation between campaign and state.

    Reformers detest the emergence ofsuper PACs
    <https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/once-the-sideshows-super-pacs-now-at-the-forefront-of-presidential-runs/2015/03/12/516d371c-c777-11e4-a199-6cb5e63819d2_story.html>that
    fund advocacy supportive of, but not “coordinated” with, particular
    candidates. These vast reservoirs of money are, however, inevitable,
    reasonable and, on balance, wholesome responses to the reformers’
    attempts to combat what they call“too much money” in politics
    <https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2014/12/15/why-we-still-need-to-worry-about-money-in-politics/>.
    Reformers have limited the amounts that can be contributed to
    parties and to candidates’ campaigns, thereby limiting the quantity
    of political advocacy — a.k.a. speech.

    Clearly this case presents a conflict for conservatives, who would

    districts, because such a ruling, if it came down, would represent a

    Thedebunking
    <http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/26/science/maligned-study-on-gay-marriage-is-shaking-trust.html>of
    a recent academic paper on changing views aboutsame-sex marriage
    <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/s/same_sex_marriage/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>has
    raised concerns about whether other political science research is
    being properly vetted and verified. But the scandal may actually
    point to vulnerabilities in a different field: public polls.

    After all, the graduate student who wrote the paper onsame-sex
    marriage
    <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/s/same_sex_marriage/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier>,
    Michael LaCour, was called to account. Basic academic standards for
    transparency required him to disclose the information that
    ultimately empowered other researchers to cast doubt on his findings.

    But even before the LaCour case, it was becoming obvious that a
    different group of public opinion researchers — public pollsters —
    adhere to much lower levels of transparency than academic social
    science does. Much of the polling world remains shielded from the
    kind of scrutiny that is necessary to identify and deter
    questionable practices.

Mike Sacks 
<http://www.nationallawjournal.com/id=1202727658915/House-Obama-Administration-Clash-Over-Health-Care-Law?cmp=share_twitter>for 
the NLJ:

    U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer in Washington cast a skeptical
    eye Thursday over the Justice Department’s effort to keep the House
    of Representatives’ health care suit out of court.

    The House filed suit in November against the U.S. Department of
    Health and Human Services, alleging the administration illegally
    delayed the Affordable Care Act’s mandate that certain employers
    provide health insurance to their workers and unconstitutionally
    funded individual subsidies with money Congress refused to appropriate.

    When DOJ’s Joel McElvain urged Collyer to dismiss the case on the
    basis that the House had no standing in an “abstract dispute” over
    legislative power, Collyer shot back.

    “You don’t really think that,” the judge said, setting the tone for
    the rest of McElvain’s argument on behalf of the Department of
    Health and Human Services.

    The case, as Collyer saw it, was over “how close have the
    secretaries [of HHS and Department of Treasury] come to the bone of
    the House’s authority” to appropriate funds under Article I, Section
    9 of the Constitution.

    At issue is a May 13 decision by the Board of Elections to let
    voters sign absentee-ballot request forms electronically instead of
    printing out the forms, signing them with a pen and e-mailing back a
    scanned attachment or mailing the forms through the post office. The
    all-digital process lets voters skip the step of printing out the forms.

      It also makes it easier for campaigns, parties and groups to
    submit requests on voters’ behalf — as Howell’s campaign does
    through his Web site.

    Stimpson said the board acted beyond its authority and circumvented
    the legislature to make a sweeping change in the rules at Howell’s
    request. Howell’s spokesman called the claim ­“ridiculous.”

    “Enough: Anti-corruption/pro-equality Dems must draw the line with
    Clinton (aka, Clinton has a Johnson problem)”

    I’ve got a piece in The Atlantic today that’s been a bit prettified
    by the headline (”Could Hillary Clinton Be the Champion
    Campaign-Finance Reform Needs
    <http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/05/could-hillary-clinton-be-the-champion-campaign-finance-reform-needs/394238/>?”).
    That makes the essay sound more optimistic (about Clinton) than it
    is. Also left on the cutting room floor were the following
    paragraphs (the part in brackets precedes and then follows the
    omitted paragraphs).   Reading this all together I hope conveys my
    strong sense here: That pro-reform Dems need to draw a line. What
    we’ve seen so far is no where close to enough to overcome the grave
    doubts raised by this mess.
