Please excuse errors.] It’s a great day to talk about the Constitution — because today, apparently, we get to hear whether Ketanji Brown Jackson and Amy Coney Barrett think that we should have a country. EXIT is a fraternity dedicated to shorting managerial systems and building the human institutions that come next.
