  • The power most people know the Supreme Court for is “judicial review,” the ability to decide if existing legislation is constitutional. This power is not actually granted to the court by the Constitution, but it has been traditionally wielded by them since a precedent was set by Marbury v. Madison.

    Otherwise, they’re a trial (for disputes between states, involving ambassadors, etc.) and appellate court for cases that reach them and are granted certiorari, such as this case (actually two cases, Biden v. Nebraska and Department of Education v. Brown). So, in those cases, they decide if actions are legal, based on existing law. That is not legislating, as legislating is literally law making.




  • Shu also tells me that RIF was paying a “sizable revenue share” to Reddit beginning in 2012, which was during Yishan Wong’s tenure as CEO. Shu says he says initiated the talks with Reddit to create the agreement, which allowed for the licensed use of Reddit’s trademarks. (At the time, the app was called “reddit is fun.”) Shu says Reddit terminated the agreement in 2016 — which was the year after Huffman took over as CEO.

    It’s a shame that Reddit’s greed has even prevented them from considering reasonable options like revenue sharing.
