I hope my use of the present tense is still accurate for the U.S. in this context. Taylor is only a District Court judge and could easily be slapped down in turn by intimidated Sixth Circuit judges. The best hope is that her refreshingly honest and straightforward opinion -- no half-heartedly obscure, faux sophisticated legalese here! -- wakes some people up, including voters this fall.
