I'm impressed with this artist. This painting is actually much simpler than most of the ones on her Wiki page. I like the misdirection of the nude in the center when it is supposed to be a self-portrait. A bit of humor there. The model is interesting in that she is realistic not romanticized but the skin tones are so carefully done. The same can be said for Knight's face. The rest of the painting and colors are just a mild background for the two figures. The whole work is very effective and a little amusing.
Check out her other paintings on her Wiki page. They are quite different with great technical detail and use of color. Her non-oil works are especially interesting. Her photo on the Wiki page, taken when she was in her thirties shows a woman who looks modern, lively, and would be capable of having a good time. Posted by: JTB at July 09, 2020 09:47 AM (7EjX1) 77

This seems to be a woman's response on the traditionalist ideal female. The model is posed in the classical "Venus" pose. That pose symbolizes beauty and sensuousness. We see this model from the back. Her face is hidden so we don't focus on her identity, just her body. That body is not perfect. Her breasts are starting to sag and her butt is kinda dumpy. She has long, skinny legs and arms. The orange backdrop accentuates all her curves and features, but also warms up her skin tone. Women artists began to question the traditional feminine ideal. "What makes a beautiful woman? Venus is a myth. Her traits are unrealistic. This model here is reality."
The only face we see is the artist's, but in profile. In a lot of self-portraits, the artist wants you to see their full face. Here, we see only a little portion of it. She also wears a hat and her face is in shadow. This further reduces my ability to see her face and its details. Also traditionally, women would almost never be painted straight on, looking straight out at the viewer. It wasn't "ladylike" to stare someone in the eyes. Profiles or 3/4 views were desirable. The profile face in shadow with the anti-classical model may be this artist's attempt to upset the norm. Posted by: Kris at July 09, 2020 09:49 AM (VQp/A) 85

Half of you jackwagons have no imagination.
When you imagine yourself in the painting she's a real live girl. If she's just a painted object on canvas she's two-dimensional and isn't going to do squats, so your distancing effort is pointless. In the context of the painting she's a real live girl. It's 1913. You haven't had any in a while because, well, look at yourself. Now you see this. This looks good.

The teens were feast or famine times and the US was trying out many progressive ideas including suffragette movement, temperance movement, and world peace movement (WWI less than 5 years away).

I dunno, at the end of the day it's all about what's in someone's heart and soul. Life teaches you not to judge people by their appearance. Often that which is most pleasing on the outside is most rotten on the inside. You learn more about a person by speaking with them, not looking at them.

is there a reason work to right is more realistic says of classical works and the work to the right is more impressionistic? I would say the artist was saying that women (the world) are changing. The teens were feast or famine times and the US was trying out many progressive ideas including suffragette movement, temperance movement, and world peace movement (WWI less than 5 years away). The artist looking at neither the model nor the works but off to the distance may be thinking what is to become of me! Posted by: rhennigantx at July 09, 2020 09:57 AM (JFO2v) That's as good a reading as any. Better than mine. I know nothing about this artist and saw something more personal. I did see the traditional on the left and modern on the right that you describe, but I saw the figures as mirror images of each other, in a Star Trek Mirror-verse opposites kinda-way. The two figures are posed towards a centerline, and the fully-dressed, traditioanlly-rendered, modest woman sees her opposite in the reflected, nude, modern woman. For me the colors add to this. The orange background accentuates the realistic curves of the nude, putting her in a silhouette. The red-orange of the artist's sweater instead covers her figure which is outlined a little by the white canvas. All the artist's skin is in shadow while the model's is highlighted. My first thought was that the artist wanted us to think that both figures were her, and that this was a take on traditional vs. modern feminine ideals, yada, yada, yada.

In a footnote, Roberts notes that the "daylight between our opinion" and
the Thomas "dissent" is "not as great as that label might suggest." "We agree that Presidents are neither absolutely immune from state criminal subpoenas nor insulated by a heightened need standard." Here's some key language: "We agree that Presidents may challenge specific subpoenas as impeding their Article II functions." "And although we affirm while Justice Thomas would vacate, we agree that this case will be remanded to the District Court."

============== SCOTUS says a President does not have absolute immunity from a subpoena in a state criminal prosecution, and has the same rights as any citizen. They sent the case back to the trial/appeals level with instructions to try other issues, so Trump does not have to respond to the subpoena right away.

224. Old treaty said certain land within the OK territory belonged to Creek. Murder etc was committed on that land and prosecuted by the state of OK, which would not have jurisdiction on tribal land.
Was the treaty still in effect given that OK became a state and the Creeks have not claimed that land in forever? Gorsuch and the libs said that the treaty was still in effect. Gorsuch is very friendly to the tribes, always has been. So, this is disappointing, but not surprising.

I am reading up on Seattle's "Amazon Tax" and it makes me wonder if no one understands how to do a cost/benefit analysis anymore. Today, Seattle spends $50-$100 million on homeless services every year. Let's take the low figure. The "Amazon Tax" is expected to raise $500 million per year, raising the total to around $550 million.
Seattle has around 12,500 homeless. At the new revenue (if it actually happens, of course) levels, the city will spend $44,000 per year per capita on the homeless. Per capita income in the city is about $46,000. So this tax is nearly equivalent to handing the per-capita income to each and every homeless person in the city. This is insane. It would cost less to imprison them. It would cost even less than that to shove them into a rehab or mental institution (which is where most of them rightly belong). Just five years of revenues about $220,000 per head - far more than enough to build and populate a trailer park (although the problem isn't really housing). Where is the money going? And more importantly, why isn't anyone in Seattle asking where the money is going? Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at July 09, 2020 10:27 AM (hYcqw) 275

270. Send Vance back to district court, where POTUS can make other arguments against the subpoena, but will not have full immunity. Appeal from those rulings moving fwd.
Send Mazars back to 2nd and DC circuit to analyze the four elements of consideration that the Chief laid out for them. This too, will take time.

As Eric outlines below, this is basically a Goldilocks approach. The
test proposed by the president and the SG is too tough. The House test is too lax. The court outlines a set of "special considerations" that the courts should take into account on remand and sends the cases back to the lower courts for further consideration. So I am going to take back my suggestion that this is more of a win for the president than Vance -- I think it's basically the same. In this set of cases and the Vance case, we are going to have more litigation, and no one is going to see any financial documents any time soon.

279 SCOTUS punted on both tax cases, sending them back down for further litigation effectively delaying releases until after election.
Posted by: WisRich at July 09, 2020 10:27 AM (G0vdT) I take this as a rare win for Trump, on procedural grounds. All he has to do is delay release until November 3rd, and after that none of this matters. He might just voluntarily release them after that; there's nothing criminal in there, or else it would have all been leaked long ago. The Democrats only want them in the hope they can find something that looks embarrassing (not as much income as he said, who knows) that they can use in the campaign. Except for that, they're useless. So the only real issue here is Time, and SCOTUS just handed Trump the Time he needs. Posted by: Tom Servo at July 09, 2020 10:33 AM (Kpl3J) 320

Ted Cruz suggests two conditions Biden may impose for a debate.
Ted Cruz@tedcruz Biden's two conditions: (1) the debate must occur in his basement, and (2) it cannot be televised or broadcast to anyone in America. Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Tyrannosaur Wrangler at July 09, 2020 10:36 AM (+y/Ru) 325
That would have been the best result.
Le sigh... Posted by: TheJamesMadison, running from a biplane in a cornfield at July 09, 2020 10:32 AM (LvTSG) Added plus? Its the correct result. Now every President can be drug into State court to defend why his private finances should remain private when no one has even demonstrated a need other than, well, political - thanks Gorsuch. Trump may still win and should win in the end, but its the process that's the punishment. Posted by: Boswell at July 09, 2020 10:36 AM (32YRo) 326

Theory: Trump keeps losing because he has shitty lawyers on his side

Biden will never debate in any traditional debate forum - and that was always going to be the result no matter what the polls said.
The current polls are being blared around as fact to provide the thinnest cover - hey, why should Biden debate if he's way ahead? This is the Perino version of Biden dementia cover I saw her use on Tucker the other night. Posted by: Boswell at July 09, 2020 10:40 AM (32YRo) 332
Without limits on its subpoena powers, Congress could
'exert an imperious controul' over the Executive Branch and aggrandize itself at the President's expense, just as the Framers feared. The Federalist No. 71, at 484 (A. Hamilton); see id., No. 48, at 332--333 (J. Madison); Bowsher v. Synar, 478 U. S. 714, 721--722, 727 (1986). And a limitless subpoena power would transform the 'established practice' of the political branches. Noel Canning, 573 U. S., at 524 (internal quotation marks omitted). Instead of negotiating over information requests, Congress could simply walk away from the bargaining table and compel compliance in court. The House and the courts below suggest that these separation of powers concerns are not fully implicated by the particular subpoenas here, but we disagree. We would have to be "blind" not to see what '[a]ll others can see and understand': that the subpoenas do not represent a run-of-themill legislative effort but rather a clash between rival branches of government over records of intense political interest for all involved. Rumely, 345 U. S., at 44 (quoting Child Labor Tax Case, 259 U. S. 20, 37 (1922) (Taft, C. J.)). Posted by: Our Country is Screwed at July 09, 2020 10:40 AM (N39Ws) 333
