On this rare occasion I believe both attorneys are accurate.

We gotta get Bad Bunny's makeup people to the set of For All Mankind

A survivor of the Kent State Massacre rings the bell on campus today, May 4, at exactly 12:20, the moment his classmates fell, 56 years ago.

In the '60s series Get Smart, Don Adams played Maxwell Smart, Agent 86. I never got the joke till today.

Every DOJ lawyer and agent who’s worked on this corrupt nonsense…. I’m sure that some have refused/quit/retired. I hope that they, protected by the same First Amendment that does and will protect Jim Comey, will speak up.

youre laughing. a half sunk visage lies beside two trunkless legs of stone and you're laughing

Denaturalization is a tool of political control and intimidation.

The DOJ not only indicted the group @splcenter.org that infiltrated the KKK, they indicted them because they infiltrated the KKK. I’m donating today to the Southern Poverty Law Center, of which I want half to go to help fighting racists and half to fight the KKK’s legal dept, aka the DOJ and FBI.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

Chen, Chacón, and Gleeson on Immigrant Racialization and Temporary Legal Status Ming Hsu Chen (UC Law, San Francisco), Jennifer M. Chacón (Stanford Law School), and Shannon Gleeson (Cornell University — School of Industrial and Labor Relations) have posted Exclusion by Design: Immigrant…

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Lyonel Feininger, IV B (Manhattan), 1937

"The Supreme Court has a chance to hear an important First Amendment challenge that would vindicate the right to give basic legal advice" against an unauthorized-practice-of-law charge. [Thomas Berry, Dan Greenberg, & Alexander Xenos on Cato's cert amicus brief in Upsolve v. James, Second Circuit.]

I’m actually more concerned about SBF’s counsel here—why didn’t they file the MET/motion for new trial? Or motion to withdraw, if they don’t plan to take further action on his behalf?

ICML desk-rejected papers from "506 reciprocal reviewers who violated the rules regarding LLM usage that they had previously explicitly agreed to." (They said they wouldn't use LLMs and got caught by a watermark trap.)

This should not need to be said but Judge Boasberg is a widely respected judge and these efforts to intimidate and harass him are shameful.

My article, "Interpretive Facades," is forthcoming in the Case Western Reserve Law Review! I address courts' practice of claiming to interpret constitutions one way, but then applying a different approach when they get down to the interpretive work itself. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I heard this live, and all I could think of was “One bright day, in the middle of the night…”

"'A decision without articulated reasoning, of course, cannot possibly carry the same reasoned weight for the simple reason that there is no reasoning from this court to weigh in the consideration of a different case,' the judges told the high court in their amicus brief...."

This is like the worst game of telephone ever…

I recently had a conversation with a colleague who thought that both Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon had been discontinued. This is just a reminder that both blogs are alive and well. Here are the links: buff.ly/zZ3OkvR & buff.ly/9CgJE1g

It’s a logic puzzle… Presumably there’s no documentary evidence to prove a negative, so it’s a promise to publicly assert Trump’s innocence in exchange for clemency. But by making the offer public, she’s already asserting his innocence, so what additional benefit would there be in offering clemency?

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

Hi, lawyer here! This is not funny. Senators only do this when they're in extreme distress.

That's remarkable stuff. And really illustrates why the Millers of the world want there to be as little process as possible. Because process will stop their goals.

Happy Anniversary to those who celebrate cat attorneys.

Here’s a tell: when you point to their hypocrisy it doesn't move them. Hypocrisy is a feature not a bug of autocracy. Because it proves that the rules apply to you but not to them.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Enron, but with cars!

Calling this an ICE Box from now on

okay hear me out

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

It’s almost as though this isn’t an immigration enforcement operation at all 😱

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

I'm late, but this is the first confirmation I've seen of Waymo using foreign-based remote operators. Prior, there was only a rumored podcast ep, immediately cease-and-desisted. www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Hear me out. TOFU? Trump Often Effs Up?

From the nation’s first president, a reminder that openness to those seeking freedom has been part of the American idea from the beginning.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

So, to help illustrate why this thread is so horrifying, Stanford did a study on Lexis+ AI, Westlaw AI-Assisted Research, and Thomson-Reuters Ask Practical Law AI, and found between 17% and 33% hallucinations even though these are supposed to be the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tools.

Melt, and no more be seen

And here I stand both to impeach and purge

Ok but… if you’re an American executive looking to profit from the current situation in Venezuela…do you really feel safe traveling there right now?
