Everyone on here needs to be a leeetle bit dumber so I can feel a skosh smarter Thx for your attention to this matter

The 14th Amendment bars prosecutors from striking potential jurors based on race. Read our #SCOTUS amicus brief with @nacdl.org explaining why state criminal defendants should be able to access federal courts to vindicate that constitutional right: www.theusconstitution.org/litigation/p...

This is old but very good, just like the girl herself

Dogs in boots tho

Mootness Day in clinic, and you know I’ll be asking “What if, for instance, a case is mooted during the pendency of its appeal?” and waiting for the answer with a huge-ass grin

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is to Game of Thrones what Andor is to Star Wars: a complete tonal and thematic 180 that somehow works. It’s almost unbearably wholesome and a hell of a lot of fun. See it!

totally normal stuff here

I will not get a very high-maintenance cat but if you know me you know I have one in mind

He'd like to connect with that pup's stylist tysm

My insomnia reading was the transcript (down in the thread) which might be the most disastrous attorneying I have ever seen *or heard of*. He convinces the judge he is probably lying, he is rude, his defense is incompetence, and he opens with “let me give you my four-level model of collaborating.”

The most explicitly racist racism you will see from the president of the United States until, the way this is going, tomorrow

Listen, it’s important that you see this.

As usual, “I’ll do my reading in the morning” seems like an excellent plan until the morning

It’s time for Hallmark movies featuring chocolate shops

Lest we forget, Joshua J. Friedman made this place awesome With help from me. jk

…oh my god

If you find what you’re looking for during a search, the search is over, right? Like if there’s probable cause to search a car for a firearm and you have a warrant for the entire car and you find a firearm, you can’t then continue to search?

Listen, it’s important that you see this.

Me watching survivalist tv shows while I wait for Uber Eats is really some kind of a statement on something

I hate everything

Wow

this is truly some mad king shit. god fucking damn it I am so sick of this

If I ever think that commenting on a student's appearance will help them land a job with a particular employer, my response will be to advise them (and everyone else) against applying to that employer. The arrogance to, first, do it and, second, do it in writing, is insane.

One of the things that does come through in many of these emails is just how many men think that being a creepy, abusive, predator is just like how everyone is. Way to tell on yourself.

Just like we can’t let Trump define what it means to be American, we can’t let jerks like this define what it means to be or act like a man. Not only is commenting on a student’s looks wrong, it’s disturbing to suggest that *of course* you must do that bc men would only want one thing from a woman.

The lady at the pastry shop says “refrigerate this until you’re ready to serve” as though I am not ready to serve, to myself, immediately. It’s so cute and I appreciate it

Crypto! Ich have been investinge a lot of tyme yn learninge about Crypto. Mothman. Jersey Devil. Various Bigfeete. The Sacramento Air Kraken. Schuylkill Kelpies. Cincinnati spoon koboldes. Love Cryptozoologye so much.

The fact that he says "girls" says it all

For today's bonus issue of "One First," I wrote about Monday's @nytimes.com scoop regarding Chief Justice Roberts having clerks and other employees sign non-disclosure agreements, and why #SCOTUS's transparency problems run far deeper and wider than just NDAs: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-207-...

Sally Jenkins (@sallyjenx.bsky.social) remains one of the best writers out there. I appreciate her reminding us of the prior greatness of the Washington Post, which is now been destroyed by its current ownership/management. www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

I’m advising a student law review note, and man, can they write.

A true wine connoisseur told me something years ago that has served me well. When considering wine in a fancy bottle: "It's always important to consider how much of the price is paying for the bottle, and that will give you an idea of the value of its contents."

Why do snowflakes not melt on my coat, I’m a bit concerned about the chemical content of this coat

As far as I know, this is DHS's first effort to explain their position that I-205 forms allow entry into the home. They rely on the dicta in the 1960 Abel case (before Payton) and re-imagine the plurality opinion in Lucas as if it were the majority (and then overrely on it).

NEW: The Justice Department unit responsible for pursuing potential wrongdoing by law enforcement, including during the crackdown in Minneapolis, has lost two-thirds of its prosecutors and is under orders to scale back its investigations of excessive force. www.reuters.com/world/justic...

I think I’m gonna be cold called out of spite

I'm keynoting the Alabama Civil Rights & Civil Liberties Law Review symposium Friday. Apparently there's a livestream, so FYI, I will be pulling no punches about the nature of the Trump regime or the abuse of history by certain law professors. ("Be there, will be wild") law.ua.edu/programs/sym...

I've never read a more painful transcript of a judicial proceeding. DOJ throws a neophyte into court to defend ICE's failure to comply with judicial orders even though she has no courtroom experience and has been given no guidance whatsoever about how to proceed, ... [1] @justsecurity.org

it's probably fine
