Seems like France's MeToo reckoning is going about as well as the United States' did

There shouldn't be any "future editions" of this book, Steven Rosenbaum should no longer be accepted as an authority on this subject, and he should lose whatever influence he has. Nothing he says in the future can be taken at face value, and he did this to himself by essentially committing fraud.

The last two nights of basketball have been some of the best the NBA has seen in years

Will you remember where you were when mifepristone became illegal for 30 minutes?

Hack Schlossberg is confirmed to be the worst kind of law person imaginable.

I hear the Vice President is working on a list of theses about why the Pope is wrong. He's got nearly a hundred

Wrote a draft of a short article on DOJ's (second) lawsuit against Harvard, filed a little over three weeks ago – specifically on DOJ's request to claw back funds already paid. Would love feedback if anyone wants to take a read (not sure when it will go up on SSRN).

You do not, in fact, gotta hand it to the Nazi tattoo guy

Just passed someone wearing a Princeton Federalist Society shirt and I must say it’s an excellent bit.

Working on a law paper and I've come across what I think is a novel Bluebook issue. In quoting a case I want to add emphasis to a word, but there is already a word italicized in the original, which I would like to deemphasize. How do I mark such a thing? "(emphasis shifted)."?

Why does The Pitt release every Thursday at 9:00pm ET instead of at the hour of their shift for that week’s episode? This is the kind of innovation streaming is perfect for.

Is it fair to say that the Mount Rushmore of twentieth century jurisprudence consists of Kelsen, Hart, Dworkin, and Raz?

Justice Monster: Is ice cream cookie a sandwich? Sohn Jauer: Ah, I think… so. I have to think that through. Justice Monster: [Loudly eats him.]

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

The sources of U.S. law are famously the common law, the Constitution, and whatever some EU member states are doing in the year 2026.

Hypothetically, is there a reason for a sitting president to attend oral arguments on a case of major political import that isn’t naked intimidation?

It depends on if the True Originalist is a true originalist.

Excited for the first SCOTUS oral argument in years that considers the important question of which is correct, Extremely Obvious and Massively Precedented Legal Understanding or What Some Guys Think They Can Maybe Argue.

Appreciate his willingness to respond, but this is why Wurman's work is intellectually impoverished. Wurman: “Until you can explain why I am wrong…all of your research…is simply beside the point.” If you claim “X,” and I say, “Well, no, the only evidence is that Y happened.” That's an explanation.

Kristi Noe-more

I have decided to undertake a dry social media January. See you all in 31 days. But you can reach me on text, WhatsApp, or FB chat (not IG). Send memes and legal theories!

College football is the most embarrassing sport in the entire world, Exhibit J.

Gentlemen, I regret to inform you that I no longer believe in science.

The Kruse Missile eliminates all targets.

We are fast approaching the point where a bye week in the CFP is going to be seen as a disadvantage.

It’s Mamdan-we now.

The alleged daycare fraud taking place in Minnesota should be investigated fully and carefully. But don't engage in the rank bigotry of blaming "the Somalis," especially if it is compounded by the hypocrisy of calling out those who blame "the Jews" when one of our number commits a crime.

I give a ton of credit to Professor George, who has managed to be a principled and thoughtful conservative despite what his commitments might imply.

Why used bookstores matter: I have spent the last two years searching for this wonderful little book. Cheapest price online is $225 - and the copy from the Harvard Law Library is missing. Today I picked it up for 29.

What are we about to learn?

Purely a hypo: If one acts illegally in removing lettering that was illegally installed, can they be charged with a crime?

Just learned that Norman Podhoretz was still alive

I have a theory (I didn't ask ChatGPT if it's mine) that the abortion conversation would benefit from acknowledging the presence of inertia; namely, that there is a higher barrier to declaring an entity "alive" that previously wasn't. This makes it obvious why a story about a 2-year is wholly unapt.

The face of legal pragmatism. Your formalist argument is invalid.

They should be friends

Ad hominem implies the existence of ad homophone. This is an example.

It is not the job of a law scholar to upend clearly settled law with meager source material and convoluted textual readings, and doing so does not create a live debate.

I have resigned as Governor of Alabama.

What happened to the plain meaning of the words?

Honestly, if the CFP committee was made up of exactly nine members the comparison might be too on the nose.

Someone check on @patsobkowski.com. #NotreDame

If Alabama doesn't make the CFP (which they shouldn't) expect the SEC to eliminate its championship game next year.

Ohio State's QB just went Super Sayin.

This is just sad.

SCOTUS is about to overturn the exclusionary rule in an emergency order, aren't they

Hello Skyers! After an extended hiatus to deal with various health matters I am back in your midst and ready to once again spend hours engaging in The Discourse. Anyway, what did I miss?

By the logic of the fetal personhood movement, this baby can constitutionally be elected to the United States Senate.
