When Justice is “Just Us”.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that an additional 4 million Americans will choose to go without health insurance in the face of the impossibly high premiums they would have to pay beginning in January as planned by the President and his party.

There’s the Authoritarianism. Even the Fascism. The Racism. The Criminality. The Fraud. The Graft. The Misogyny. The Cruelty. But on a real, visceral, and nauseating level, there’s the Defilement. He’s vile, yes. We’ve known that. So is every elected Republican who doesn’t reject him.

You have to understand that the world’s largest oil reserves are in Venezuela. Not Saudi Arabia. That the war crimes and murder committed by the U.S. upon “Venezuelan drug boats” are not about drugs.

Morning @louisvillelaw Last 1L final exam. This bodes well. #nofilter

It’s Christmas every day for Trump at the Supreme Court. That’s not Originalism. That’s Authoritarianism. And if a Federalist begins to describe the so-called Unitary Executive Theory to you excuse yourself as quickly as possible and do some Christmas shopping or anything else worthwhile.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: These are my views and not the views necessarily of everyone with an ounce of uncorrupted sense and also not necessarily the views of Notre Dame alumni though quite efficiently these are the same people in this case.

They should. They may as well. Do masks hide shame? #ICE #collaborators #louisvillemetrocouncil

Putting aside arguments about the artificial boundaries of “genres” especially in the amazing worldscape of music today, this *checks out* for my year even though it paints a bit of a villain Origin Story*. *The “Orchestral” genre is explained by exam grading.Shout out to PJ Harvey, too.

Our Secretary of War [Crimes] won’t be invited to watch the movie Nuremberg at the White House theater because our criminal President bulldozed it the way he’s bulldozed any shred of morality or ethics left in our national leadership. In the meantime: Disobey Unlawful Orders. Always.

All ya’ll. 1Ls to 3LOLs. You definitely got this. #louisvillelaw

University general counsel and boards are crowding ERs with hamstring and Achilles injuries incurred while absolutely sprinting to the White House to surrender everything they’re supposed to stand for.

Well over HALF of the students losing their schools under the plan to close Louisville’s public schools are Black. If you’ve read even 20 minutes of honest American history this won’t surprise you.

Just the worst. Somehow, even worse than most of the rest of them. *Most* of the rest. . . . #NateMorris #MAGA garbage . . . delivery.

It’s easy to tell when a Republican is lying about “supporting farmers and the working man”: Their lips are moving.

JFK was murdered on this date in 1963. In 5 years his brother and MLK, Jr would be, too. Since then one party has turned to hate and the other to focus-group slide decks in response. Since this was first published years ago my sons have grown. But the question remains.

It’s that time of year already. Hug your favorite law student. With permission. Maybe even get something signed first. You get what I’m saying.

In light of the President’s call for Democratic representatives to be hung I wonder if Andy Beshear is prepared to call him an enemy yet? Because he is. His people are. So it’s just a matter of telling the truth. Or not.

Those Dems are correct. He is wrong. And he is dangerous. Resist.

Countless dedicated individuals spent months fighting freezing rain, blistering sun, abusive police, a dishonest Attorney General, and more to seek justice for Breonna and police reform. Their work was not in vain. But the City, State, and Trump DOJ keep pushing back and stomping all over her grave.

[Pictured: Judge Kaelin with Dean Jacobs addresses the class] Court Day! UofL Brandeis 1st year law students watched the pros at work this morning in motion hours in Div. 2, 3, and 4. Judges O’Connell, Perry, and Kaelin then graciously shared wisdom and experience from on and off the bench.

Anyone can do it. Just make sure you finish slightly to the left of the Republicans. Even when they’re Fascists.

The re-energized law school chapter of the National Lawyers Guild with like-minded organizations presents DISorientation tomorrow (Saturday) beg. at 12:30. See the QR code for the full schedule. I‘ll speak briefly at 1pm. Resistance and Resilience takes all forms, and all of us.

Big, exhausted, and relieved smiles from the student trial lawyers @louisvillelaw final exam trial. Mine is a very, very proud smile.

For all of you, all of us. #veteransday

Yes there are two deaths. When your body dies, and years later when your name is spoken for the last time. But the first death, really, precedes these: Years before, the last time someone gets your movie reference.

What does it mean to be “Moderate” in the face of starving children? In the face of Fascism? in the face of the destruction of the White House both metaphorically and in dirt and stone? It means losing. It means losing America.

Thank you, @racingloufc.com

A nation based upon the Rule of Law will die of old age unless the next generation is ready. Today 4 of my Trial Practice students tried their [Final Exam] trial to a jury from Butler High in our courtroom. These are the students and connections that fuel our future. Go Cards. Go Bears. Go Us.

You’re gonna’ need to go elsewhere for warm remembrances of this man. I can say he was good at what he did. #DickCheney

Cheers.

The only team who only arguably makes this the #WorldSeries is up in Game 7.

Tricks only, Louisville.

Already love these Cards. #L1C4

If you‘re inclined, please keep responding to complaints about the ridiculous White House demolition and ballroom construction by bragging that it “is built by private funds” because I actually like knowing who is stupid or corrupt here. In fairness, you‘re probably just stupid. But, like, REAL STUP

The White House ballroom.

The greatest threat to political art isn‘t AI or even censorhip. It’s Trump literally demolishing the White House with a backhoe and sledgehammers. Then they came for the metaphors And there was no one left to complain.

For everyone, for yesterday - and tomorrow. #NoKings

How are you supposed to give a speech when you see this in the crowd and then you’re speechless? #NoKingsDay Louisville Credit to Angela Cooper and Jackson Cooper

My 22-year old Dad fighting Fascism in World War II. Join us TODAY at 2pm on the Belvedere to honor him and the others who sacrificed then for our right - our obligation - to fight our Fascists at home. #NoKings

My interview with WFPL about #NoKings on Saturday. “… one of the challenges for the movement in opposition to MAGA and to Trump's efforts in Washington is that you have to be patient, and it does take time”. www.lpm.org/news/2025-10...

Just finished an interview with LPM’s Bill Burton for All Things Considered about #NoKings this Saturday. See you there.

The Louisville Metro Department of Corrections is way past capacity. Many have already lost their lives and more - guaranteed - will. The United States accounts for 20% of the entire world’s prisoners. We love to put people in jail. We just don’t like paying for it.

I’m not even using analogies or metaphors here. It’s almost just a photograph. People will die. People are dying. If you voted for this you’re partially responsible. Ouch. That must feel awful. Good. The @courierjournal.bsky.social cartoon.
