It's a strange feeling. Life hasn't been feeling as *real* as it used to, for a while now. Jamais vu.

Did a volunteer shift at Almost Home Cat Rescue today. Stevie is coming by for pets and cuddles. Lilly is into pets but not cuddles yet. Brody is still shy but will sniff my hand and does come around and want to play

Ich bin ein großer Fan davon, die Lehrstuhlstruktur aufzulösen und eine Departmentstruktur einzuführen. Für #ichbinhanna wäre das ein Riesenschritt. Aber was meint es, wenn man dann in einer solchen Struktur von "Stellen neben der Professur" spricht? Worin unterscheiden sich die ProfessorInnen denn dann noch von den Nicht-ProfessorInnen (außer natürlich, dass letzte wesentlich schlechter bezahlt werden).

Wie seht ihr das @DrKEichhorn, @SebastianK, @amreibahr?

Once we **stop** seeing an organisation as an *entity* separate from stakeholders and **start** seeing an organisation as a *complex social system* comprised of stakeholders, the role of governance in shaping and maintaining a healthy culture emerges.

Despite the unanimity of the justices, I disagree with the Supreme Court’s judgment that states may not enforce section 3 of the 14th A. That judgment is the bottom line. But far more dangerous is the majority opinion, which includes discussion that goes beyond this bottom line. Five justices have tried to prospectively prescribe two requirements irrelevant to the Colorado case. First, they claim that only Congress, not the judiciary or executive branch may enforce section 3. 1/ #LawFedi

The justices in the five person majority in #TrumpVAnderson show, once again, their utter disdain for the most elementary features of U.S. rule of law. They disregard text and precedent and trample separation of powers. Unsurprisingly then, their decision is primarily a piece of partisanship only masquerading as judicial work. 5/ #RuleOfLaw

Second, claim Justices Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, Congress must pass specific legislation to disqualify insurrectionists who took an oath to uphold the Constitution. Nowhere is this in the text of the 14th Amendment. Nor can it be justified by reference to historical practice. 2/ #trumpVanderson

So, the majority opinion in #trumpVanderson, adopted by five justices (Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh), insists that
a) section 3 requires implementing legislation, which means
b) only one branch of the federal government, Congress, may enforce section 3, and
c) these five justices prescribe a wholly novel, extra-textual, and entirely unprecedented set of requirements for any disqualification legislation Congress might pass. 4/ #LawFedi
