A glorious sunny day in Boston

Pam Bondi’s portrait was taken down at DOJ and tossed in a trash bin soon after her firing. MS NOW obtained the photo. The move reflects how deeply unpopular she was among career officials. Ken Dilanian & Carol Leonnig scoop www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

The Court is more receptive to these kind of arguments with the addition of the three Trump appointees and what I’ve called the migration of early GOP appointees Thomas and Alito towards movement ideas, arguments, and ways of speaking.

“The documents represent an astonishing array of ideologies from utopian socialism and internationalism to Confederate and black power movements.”

Terrific exchange between Justice Kagan and Cecilia Wang on the instinct that is being codified in 14th amendment that children should not inherit the rights and disabilities of their parents

Good morning. Hopefully.

The populist autocrat has a fighting chance in court, but not because his arguments are strong, but rather because the justices will be fighting between their institutionalist and populist leanings. Textualism and originalism are simply languages used to play out—and obscure—what’s happening.

Gorsuch showing skepticism of Wurman thesis as well as pointing to practical difficulties implementing it

The most important thing about birthright citizenship is the SIMPLICITY. Without it Every Birth is a potential lawsuit. No way to run a country. I'm good with a few "Cheaters"... bet our lifestyle wins their allegiance eventually...

“‘There’s a question of how many members of the current court, which is already dominated by Republican appointees, would be receptive to it, and I think some will be,’ Robert Tsai, a law professor at Boston University who focuses on the intersection of politics and the Constitution, told me”

The case challenging President Trump’s unilateral effort to alter birthright citizenship will be argued on April Fool’s Day. Here’s a quick explainer of the Fourteenth Amendment I did with Zinhle Essamuah of NBC News. #BirthrightCitizenship #SCOTUS #FourteenthAmendment

I’m honored to be returning to the Robert Jackson Center in the fall to deliver a lecture on our contemporary struggle over citizenship and belonging in a populist age. I don’t believe the event will be live-streamed but I will share the video afterward. www.roberthjackson.org/event/25yaq-...

Three years ago, March 31, 2023, Caitlin Clark led Iowa with 41 pts, 8 assists, 6 rebs to a Final Four victory over undefeated South Carolina, 77-73. One of the most incredible underdog individual and team performances ever seen. #MarchMadness #IowaHawkeyes

“Now you see her, now you don’t”: Caitlin Clark with the up and under against South Carolina in the Final Four. She would finish with 41 pts, 8 assists, 6 rebs in the 77-73 victory. #MarchMadness

Unfortunately, judicial appointment has always been a partisan process. What’s different now is fealty to the Big Lie as the price for a lifetime tenure job under this populist president.
