Take Me Out to the Ball Game
The Chicago Cubs have long wanted to increase the number of games they play at night. But they need the permission of the Chicago city council to do so.

Now that the Cubs are in the playoffs, tickets to Wrigley field are a hot item, going on the street for $300 to $1,500 each.

Guess who's going to be getting playoff tickets at the $35 face value? You guessed it. Members of the Chicago city council.

Understandably, some Cubs fans are upset.

(Note: I'm not a Cubs fan, or even much of a baseball fan.)

"Justice Louis D. Brandeis'?s metaphor of the states as "laboratories" for policy experiments ... had almost nothing to do with federalism and everything to do with his commitment to scientific socialism. .... To this day, it continues to inhibit a truly experimental, federalist politics." -- Michael S. Greve
