For Justice Sotomayor, and for America. Get you a Supreme Court Justice who can stand almost alone for our democracy AND be name-checked by Bad Bunny at a concert. #SuperBowlSunday

Glad my art is being put to good use in Minneapolis: @christylynncostello posters and tee-shirts for a ROCK SHOW to raise money for the battle against #ICE there. This Machine Kills Fascists.

BREAKING: After forcing one of America’s great institutions to serve his interests alone, it has become intellectually bankrupt and Trump has now announced the closure of the United States Supreme Court for at least two years . . . no wait. My bad. The Kennedy Center.

This is not a coincidence. It never has been. The former DOJ investigated after Breonna Taylor’s death and wrote an entire 50 page report about the racism that is part of the core fiber of Louisville policing. The resulting Consent Decree was slow-walked ultimately to its death. There will be more.

Subzero temps last night and a still frigid morning doesn’t keep the @louisvillelaw #NationalMootCourt team from grinding on a Saturday morning. Go Cards! @universityoflouisville

We’re running out of “hills to die on”. Pick one quick or we’re done for.

Who shot Alex Pretti? It’s a simple question. Demand an answer. Or admit that they are in fact Secret Police and you don’t live in a free country.

These borders, far more important than a fence in a desert, are under attack from within - from our side of the wall. Attacked by the President. Attacked by the federal judges he appointed who rubber stamp his Administration’s orders 93% of the time. The call is coming from inside the house.

Déjà vu? Yeah. I posted this less than 20 days ago. Copy And Paste Fascism.

ICE OUT. No excuses. For the Courier Journal.

I’m well-acquainted with the real world and exigencies of politics. I understand both federal funding on the one hand and the fact that any such demand may have little effect on the other. But leadership is about message sending. Allowing them here, cooperating even, is already sending the wrong one

Today JCPS Law & Government and Pre-Law Magnet students came to the law school for a day as law students. This diverse, engaged, and brilliant group is ready to tackle and repair our world. Give them the space. Give them the opportunity. Give them time. The kids are alright.

Viper’s Nest. Elon Musk donated $10M to Nate Morris. White Supremacy will always support its defenders. True Fact: The disgusting liquid that flows from landfills is called leachate. Garbage Man Nate Morris is worse than that. The Courier Journal cartoon.

As a lawyer often called upon to distinguish apparently identical situations and as a #BuffaloBills fan I can say without reservation that the “interception” on Saturday in Denver is completely and utterly indistinguishable from the “catch” in Chicago on Sunday. They’re the same thing.

I know “blah blah blah we gotta‘ just appeal to these people to win the next election” and that’s why we don‘t have healthcare, transit, or funded education and the Fascists ultimately won. We’ve been doing the same thing for decades. Time to try harder.

1/ Kentucky, through its elected leaders, and Louisville, via the same (Democrats included) are collaborating with our Fascist president’s foot soldiers. There’s no need to compare ICE with Nazi SS or Brownshirts.

This year’s MLK Day political art, early for you. Racism and its most important allies - the white moderates - win again in Louisville.

And I’m begging the shooter to claim self defense. Begging.

I’m not supporting any Democratic candidate for President who doesn’t intend to charge, prosecute, and imprison if convicted the President and others complicit with him under the criminal law. We did “let’s just restore decency” already and it got us here. It’s not enough.

The Department of Justice investigated Louisville policing and in a 50-page report found systemic racism and abuses, without even mentioning the FOP. Now, the resulting consent decree has been abandoned by Pam Bondi’s DOJ. The investigation and report buried, like Breonna herself.

This place, already an embarrassment to the state, is now actually a danger. #ArkEncounter #AnswersInGenesis #KenHam

1/ And so we begin the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence by invading a sovereign nation contrary to our own and international law and reminding the world that the United States is now an outlaw and rogue danger to the world community, cruel to its own citizens

Don’t fret SEC. You’ll all start next season overrated again, play each other, and the resulting inflated Strength of Schedule will put another Alabama in the #CFP. And if it doesn’t, something else will. Again.

Pointing out who is dividing us, who is causing the suffering, doesn’t make me a divider. It just means I know who is hurting us and I don’t want to help them do that. Here’s to the good people in 2026.

The President of the United States is owned by Putin. He was compromised by Russia years before he was President. This was known but everyone whose interests were served by his rise ignored it.

Just when I think I’ve cleared the decks to get ready for the new semester my calendar reminds me I’ve got a danged Antifa meeting tonight. And I do NOT remember agreeing to bring potato salad. Christ.

Every single session in Frankfort is another opportunity for the Temu Christians like GOP State Rep. Nancy Tate, this time, to waste our time and money, and the opportunity to pass laws that actually help the people of this state, to introduce cruel, stupid, and unnecessary legislation

The University of Oklahoma can no longer be considered a serious place. www.koco.com/article/sama...

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.
