let's be clear: Trump tried to exclude people with disfavored ancestry from citizenship at birth--a brazen effort to restore an antebellum white supremacist legal order that the 14th Amendment *already repudiated* and 4 Supreme Court justices said LET'S DO IT ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/birth...

👏Historical evidence 👏should be 👏 a fact issue👏

No limits, as ever

The implication here is that legal scholarship could be improved with peer review & censorship of specious arguments. And I just don’t see it, sorry. Anything you do in one direction can & will be done in two directions

The Supreme Court sucks, I’m making duck

Oh my guy. Respectfully.

I wonder if there’s also an information gap. Do folks understand what underpins enforceable contracts and property rights?

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

I’ve never understood why financial markets aren’t responding to the clear threat here.

I've been saying for decades that to these right-wing judges, "stare decisis" means "I made my decision a long time ago and I shall abide by it."

The unifying concept is that the stare decisis doctrine is functionally dead at SCOTUS

Coleman v. Monroe (8th Cir. 1992)

holy shit birthright citizenship is out, and the Court did do wtf it was supposed to do, but it was outrageously, unconscionably close 5-4? 5-4 to uphold BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP? this is galling honestly www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Honestly, politics aside one of the refreshing things about teaching Professional Responsibility is that so many of the cases are lower federal court and state court cases that are much clearer and more straightforward than Supreme Court opinions. They're just written better.

As we reach the end of another OT, I feel the Rosenberg Principle is literally more true today than it was in 2022. Any project to reaffirm belief and the power of popular sovereignty must include the drastic reforming of the judiciary.

Actual reform needs all these things, designed in a way that they work together.

Play for Germany

You can’t convince me this law’s purpose is anything other than making sure cops know to hassle trans people. (The state has dropped the charges)

Every admin law prof outside the Supreme Court right now

One bit of good news today!

this is my shocked face #slaughter

Strategic nonviolence will always be more effective than a violent revolutionary effort, the obvious counter-examples notwithstanding. And I say that because I am not simple.

Historically, this sort of thing has always been good for a country and society lol /s

I don’t like it

Has any other city this year had the number of amazing World Cup games as Kansas City? Messi hat trick Curaçao Goalie clinic NetherlandsMaxxing ALG vs AUT - two stoppage time goals for both teams to go through Magic happens in Kansas City

Let’s hear a Rock Chalk chant

“It’s a smart crowd” may be the only time an announcer has commented something similar about a sports audience at Arrowhead

I feel like we could get some real political improvement if KC were a city state. Let's add that to Reconstruction 3.

“what a soccer city! … soccer state, I guess … just, the whole area” Kansas City, undefeated in flummoxing out-of-town TV announcers

GOAL

while we’re talking about lawrence, kansas, just a quick plug to say that it’s a wonderful place

What Buttigieg describes here is an assault

I spend several weeks every year in San Diego. Every time—every time—on my first trip to Costco, I stop & gasp when I step inside. It’s not just living in Europe; it’s also living in a city.

Watched 5 minutes of it last night, “OH NO the restaurant is in trouble!” & turned it off :(

The most stereotypically American experience I’ve had recently was last weekend, when I went to my suburban Costco & it was full of Kansans & World Cup tourists from Ecuador & Curacao & everyone was just midwesternly ignoring each other to shop quietly

Here’s our party www.instagram.com/reel/DaBJvLw...

Hey American lawyers- If you’re looking for something to take your mind off our current federal courts/Constitutional mess, may I suggest attending a water use seminar 😬

Hey HOLD UP this CLE presenter just said “a tariff is a tax on the person doing the importing,” did we all know this or …

Anyway, I always thought the Reflecting Pool would be better if it had alligators in.

I would like a Dem presidential candidate to have a viable court reform bill ready to submit to Congress on January 22, 2029.

yiiiikes :(
