It’s really frustrating that there is largely no accountability or consequences for SCOTUS (or a justice(s)) to produce low quality, contradictory, intellectually dishonest and/or confusing work.
Secondly, I may be wrong, but I can’t think of an international border within 100 air miles of Chicago.
Sharp analysis on the Kavanaugh inconsistency here. The "based on" vs "relevant factor" distinction is doing alot of heavy lifting, and it feels like he's trying to thread a needle after the Perdomo backlash. I've noticed this pattern where justices signal caution in dicta but then the practical effect ends up being pretty different. The interior/border distinction is intriguing but like you said, if that's the move why not just cite Brignoni-Ponce directly instead of Whren?
Chicago is well more than 100 miles from the Canadian border. The closest point in Canada seems to be the border near Detroit, about 180 miles away. I am not sure why that ACLU guide is including Chicago. Is it including proximity to an international airport or internal waterways (Lake Michigan)?
