Agreed, this is a better framing, especially when you consider the tense of the word "Choose": "Congress chooses to leave this in place without exceptions," which is in line with textualism / separation of powers.

There isn't precedent for discrimination based on the gender of spouse specifically. In general, to answer the question "Is it discrimination?" It's helpful to apply the replacement test: if it were someone else who diff

The answer to that question would depend on how the employer has treated other applicants of the opposite gender in same situation (that is, being married to a female). The law hinges on disparate treatment; it does not account for what the

And yet decidedly inconsistent with his reputation of being a textualist, since he appears to take into consideration the intention drafters of the law by looking at other attempts to amend it. He does not appear to address in his dissent t

Yes, this is accurate. There is no expectation, from anyone, that a person with a $1.1m medical bill will pay that. There's a specific group of people called Medical Bill Advocates that help people navigate the medical billing system.

I'd say ads inside apps is antithetical to Apple's brand. Does anyone like those?

Apple should wind down their ads system (iAd) entirely. Advertisements are antithetical to what Apple stands for - privacy, premium experience, doing the right thing for users. They should lower their cut to 10% (not to 20, as the article s

The police have the power of the government behind them, which in the US literally has the ability to kill you in some states. At least if it's in the hands of corporations there's still a chance that the only entity more powerful

I'm not sure it's correct to say "remote first" for Facebook. IIRC, they're just giving the option for trusted employees, not hiring straight out of college for remote.

Yes but lots of people locked into a 4 year vesting schedule based on Bay Area COL. I don't think they're going to take those back. So even with a pay cut, you're likely to come out ahead -- maybe even paid-for-house ahead.
