  1. "In a statement published Thursday night, Amodei said Anthropic would not accommodate the Department of Defense's request to remove the safeguards on its AI model because, in a narrow set of cases, we believe AI can undermine, rather than defend, democratic values":

    Anyone who is committed to restoring #TheFreedomToDecide, addressing #ClimateDisaster, & #DefendingDemocracy and starts to say anything along these lines should be politely asked to just stop.
    Our job is unchanged. We go out and do what we've been doing. Inform the uninformed of all the progress Joe Biden has made to begin the repair of 40+ years of Reagonomic damage, his acceleration of the renewable energy transition, his commitment to gun safety and the danger of TFG.

  28. Local guy ("I'm just a citizen") asks "How should the ethics code have been written?" Greenhouse says the #SCOTUS has had an ethics code since post-Watergate, 1978. "The problem with an ethics code is you need ethical people to follow it." #DefendingDemocracy

  29. And for local news, Greenhouse says "There is a major problem ... there's a lot of work going into trying to ameliorate the problem." Nonprofits, Report for America (?), etc. She adds that the economics of local journalism have collapsed, and there's no real solution. So that's a fun one. #SCOTUS #DefendingDemocracy

  30. A law faculty member asks "How would you advise us to be informed given the loss of so many local newspapers?" Greenhouse suggests people follow #SCOTUSblog (I think the faculty member was asking about keeping up with our own local news though.) #SCOTUS #DefendingDemocracy

  32. "Senators don't fall out of the sky. ... how many of us can name our state legislators or members of our state supreme court? It takes sustained attention." - Greenhouse #SCOTUS #DefendingDemocracy

  33. "Senators don't fall out of the sky. ... how many of us can name our state legislators or members of our state supreme court? It takes sustained attention." - Greenhouse #SCOTUS #DefendingDemocracy

  34. People 50 & over still have a slightly positive opinion of #SCOTUS, but people 18-29? No way. (I didn't get the Pew numbers so no quotation.) - Greenhouse #DefendingDemocracy

  35. People 50 & over still have a slightly positive opinion of #SCOTUS, but people 18-29? No way. (I didn't get the Pew numbers so no quotation.) - Greenhouse #DefendingDemocracy

  36. She talks about what #SCOTUS essentially agreed in the late 1930s after the New Deal and how that agreement - nearly 100 years ago - is over. #DefendingDemocracy

  37. She talks about what #SCOTUS essentially agreed in the late 1930s after the New Deal and how that agreement - nearly 100 years ago - is over. #DefendingDemocracy

  38. In 2021, approval of the #SCOTUS had dropped to lower than 50 percent - now, Dem approval at 23 percent, GOP at 58, independents 40 percent. Greenhouse says that's a disturbing development. #DefendingDemocracy

  39. Even after the 2000 election, the #SCOTUS "floated on a cloud of what's called diffuse legitimacy." But that's ending, Greenhouse says. (She talks about Hazelwood & says "Probably most people here don't know about it." Of course if you teach it every term ... ) #DefendingDemocracy

  40. Greenhouse says more people know about the #SCOTUS than ever before, but "Behind every silver lining is a dark cloud." More people know the justices, and many, many more people dislike them. #SCOTUS #DefendingDemocracy

  41. "Political parties are vital institutions. If Democrats begin to embrace this ends justify the means pursuit of power, they could very well find themselves in the same place." - Tim Alberta, wrapping up #DefendingDemocracy #Democracy #WayneMorseCenter

  42. Tim Alberta: "When you believe in nothing, the only thing that matters is the relentless pursuit of power." (Personal note: This is the most super fun lecture I've been to in a long time. /*sarcasm)
