It’s Wednesday and I am mostly thinking about Japan today. In just over a week’s time, I will once again head to Japan to work at Kyoto University. I will be there for several weeks and will provide regular reports as I have in previous years of what is happening there. The LDP leadership struggle…

Will the media finally concede that she isn’t avoiding their gotcha nonsense because she’s incapable of answering questions? Check this out. It’s masterful: You want issues? She is very good. But I’m sure the media will continue to dog her for constant press conferences, tarmac comments etc because that’s what Donald Trump does. She can do this her own way and it will be fine.
I realize that because I have several chairs, the phrase “my chair” is ambiguous. To reduce confusion, I will refer to the head of my academic department as “my office chair” going forward.

… to the worst health insurance system in the industrialized world JD Vance’s dance across the Sunday shows is one for the ages. We’ve already discussed his admission that they “create stories” (such as immigrants eating pets) in order to “draw attention” to the issues they think benefit them. But he said other things that are almost as interesting — and damning. What asked about Trump’s “concept of a plan” about replacing Obamacare (which just demonstrated in living color the fact that Trump had no plan despite promising for 9 long years) Vance replied: You want to make sure that preexisting coverage – conditions are covered, you want to make sure that people have access to the doctors that they need, and you also want to implement some deregulatory agenda so that people can choose a health care plan that fits them. Think about it: a young American doesn’t have the same health care needs as a 65-year-old American. A 65-year-old American in good health has much different health care needs than a 65-year-old American with a chronic condition. And we want to make sure everybody is covered.

Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern, two of he best legal analysts and Supreme Court observers, take a cold hard look at Chief Justice John Roberts’ newly revealed behavior in the big Trump cases last term and ruefully cop to being wrong about him. They discuss his seemingly centrist position in a number of important cases in which he found himself in the minority and his endless paeans to court legitimacy and conclude that he never really cared about the latter and just got tired of losing: Two years ago, in his solo Dobbs concurrence, Roberts faulted both the majority and the dissent for their “relentless freedom from doubt.” We can only guess that some time thereafter, he decided doubt was, in fact, for suckers, and embraced the aggressive activism of his colleagues to the right. We get it: Losing is no fun, and in the early days of the 6–3 court, when Roberts tried to find a middle ground, he sometimes faced the sting of defeat, and rebukes from his own party.
