What came first, North or South Dakota? Thanks to the likes of former President Benjamin Harrison-who deliberately shuffled, reshuffled, and then shuffled again the two papers that would make the two territories into states in 1889- we will never know.

3 weeks agoThe Supreme Court Was Ripe for Another Ideological Food Fight. Then Something Else Happened.
But inside the courtroom, the argument barely touched speech or religion. Instead, the justices together gravitated toward something else entirely: a problem about time, causation, and whether constitutional authority can be temporally partitioned.
