I spent an hour learning about where the FBI is headed with a 25-year veteran of the Bureau, @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social. It’s ominous. Head to Substack to listen to the whole conversation. Link in bio or just search for “The Little Law School.”

I’ll be on @cnn.com tonight at 11 pm with @lauracoates.com to discuss the law governing vindictive prosecutions. See you there!

This was an eye-opening conversation, even for me. Must watch. Thanks @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social.

The authoritarian crackdown continues with Trump and his flunkies abusing governmental power to silence A COMEDIAN who displeases Trump. Constitutional law professor and expert @kimwehle.bsky.social and I discuss this latest democracy-busting move by Trump. - @glennkirschner.bsky.social

My thoughts on Constitution Day. kimwehle.substack.com/p/happy-cons...

Happy Constituon Day! She’s worth fighting for, friends. It was an honor to speak to students at the University of Minnesota about why.

My latest: “People can debate whether what is being said about Kirk's death and his legacy is okay or not okay. But believe it or not, that is mostly beside the point when it comes to First Amendment protections.” thehill.com/opinion/civi...

Looking forward to joining Judge David of the 4th Circuit tonight at the University of Baltimore School of Law!

This is no surprise whatsoever. As Justice Jackson has written, “this Administration always wins.” The sooner rule-of-law traditionalists accept this unfortunate truth, the sooner we can start to consider what, if anything, can be done about it. www.cnn.com/2025/09/08/p...

The Supreme Court Is Committing Judicial Malpractice The far-right justices' over-reliance on ‘emergency’ unexplained decisions to greenlight Trump’s spree of lawlessness sends the message that the president can do whatever he wants. Read @kimwehle.bsky.social's piece: zeteo.com/p/the-suprem...

“In a number of these rulings, [the Supreme Court justices] simply rubber-stamped what Trump wants…” @kimwehle.bsky.social writes how far-right justices in the Supreme Court are allowing the president to do whatever he wants by relying on ‘emergency’ rulings. Read now: zeteo.com/p/the-suprem...

What exactly has this Supreme Court done to give us confidence they *won't* find a tortuous way to greenlight Trump firing Powell if he decides that's what he wants to do? A good time re-up this from @kimwehle.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/if-trump-t...

Frivolous lawsuits intended to extract a settlement and/or chill unpopular or unwanted expression are bad enough when they come from rich real-estate TV guys. When they come from a president of the United States? Even worse. ICYMI @kimwehle.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-threat...

Watch: @kimwehle.bsky.social on C-SPAN discusses her Bulwark article on Trump's WSJ lawsuit and his attack on the First Amendment:

“Trump’s disturbing erosion of First Amendment protections cannot be overstated.” @kimwehle.bsky.social writes about Trump’s efforts to destroy American democracy and how Americans aren't doing enough to stop him. Read now: zeteo.com/p/how-can-we...

"Of the possible deployment of the National Guard in Chicago, Trump said: 'I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States." Given the Congress and Supreme Court we have now, he might be right. New from @kimwehle.bsky.social:

The Rule of Law in the US Just Took Its Last Breath With the raid on John Bolton's home, we should be prepared for a new two-tiered system of laws. Rules for everyone else - but not for Donald Trump, @kimwehle.bsky.social writes. Read: zeteo.com/p/the-rule-o...

“Trump is doing exactly what he proposed in June of last year, the same month that the Supreme Court handed Trump immunity. Trump told the TV psychologist Dr. Phil that ‘sometimes revenge can be justified.’” @kimwehle.bsky.social explains how Trump undermining the rule of law.

I’ll be on @cnn.com with @lauracoates.com at the top of 11pm tonight to discuss legal questions regarding Trump’s unprecedented threat to fire Fed Reserve Board member Lisa Cook. Tune in!

"Under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the appraisal goes, Trump cannot legally fire Powell except 'for cause.' Although technically true, this assessment ignores the unprecedented legal realities these days." New from @kimwehle.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/if-trump-t...

Can James Comey and John Brennan successfully defend against vindictive prosecutions? The order is tall — because the law has presumed prosecutors act in good faith. Times have now changed. Here’s my analysis for @politico.com. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

“There's almost always two ways of construing ambiguous language [in law], whether it's in the statute or it's in the Constitution. And so when the justices on either side make these decisions, there is an element of subjectivity. Judges judge.” — @kimwehle.bsky.social at Brennan Center LIVE
