Congrats, Anil, on the launch of Expert Labs. You're the perfect person to bridge media, tech, politics and democracy. Even if you have to wear a tie once or twice a year.

PS. Beware the cufflinks. :)

Oh, Ya, That's Why I Wanted Him to be President

Obama on selecting a Supreme Court judge.

Before he was 30, he was editing articles by eminent legal scholars on the court’s decisions. Later, as a law professor, he led students through landmark cases from Plessy v. Ferguson to Bush v. Gore. (He sometimes shared his own copies, marked with emphatic underlines and notes in bold, all-caps script.)

...

Former students and colleagues describe Mr. Obama as a minimalist (skeptical of court-led efforts at social change) and a structuralist (interested in how the law metes out power in society).
