“Marc, it’s Andy. Anything good going on at the courthouse?” Andy Wolfson never quit. A pro’s pro. A legend. A journalist.

Performative Christian Nationalist White Supremacist bonfires, actually, enabling, intentionally or not, Fascism. Light a candle for yourself while you’re at it. #CharlieKirk

Written and published over a year ago. People ask “what can we do?” Their strategy is to silence us all by demanding the firing of a few. They can’t fire everyone. They won’t fire everyone. It is is the obligation of those who can speak to do so. Ceaselessly.

Hate speech is protected by the Constitution. Even if you hate it.

To everyone for the past 10 years who said “it isn’t really that bad” and “our institutions will protect us” and “our better natures will prevail”: You were wrong then. You are wrong now. And here we are, perhaps past the point of no return for a long, long time. Forgive me when I ignore you now

Any candid assessment of the Supreme Court must now conclude that it doesn’t serve the Constitution, or the people, or justice. It exists solely to serve Donald Trump and to enable and embolden American Fascism.

I’ve taught Constitutional Criminal Procedure and will again. I’ll teach criminal law in the spring. I practiced criminal law for over 40 years. Not just to defend the accused but also the Constitution itself, for everyone. Hear this: The United States Supreme Court is compromised and illegitimate.

The beatings will continue until morale improves. You’re right. It’s our fault. Just a difference of opinion. Nothing to see here. Move along, everyone. Also. Bible, or something.

This is the - and let me say this loudly - panel on DIVERSITY, EQUITY and INCLUSION among the political artists at our annual American Association of Editorial Cartoonists conference outside the nation’s capital. Three days with some of the most courageous, talented, and caring people in the country

‘Donald: Every day another gift from you. You’re the best, John.” Yesterday his United States Supreme Court reduced the Fourth Amendment to (used) tissue paper as it applies - now - to many people and - soon - to you, too.

Prosecute anti/vax surgeons general and governors for reckless or negligent homicide. Every single time.

Burn this.

My latest speech, no subscription required: ” Every other right we have. Any chance we have to do nothing less than save this nation, rests on the shoulders of this single amendment – the First Amendment“.

Cry me a river. #CrackerBarrel

Just finished writing a talk I will give on Sunday with these words: “We must resist. In every way. All of the time”. I will not hand this Republic to them.

Keep your hands and feet in the car at all times. Ride at your own risk.

The calm before the storm. Tomorrow before 8:30am 74 UofL Brandeis School of Law students will take their seats in this beautiful courtroom and begin their professional journeys. Their first class is Civil Procedure and the textbook begins: “This is a book about justice, and truth, and peace”.

Red Carpet.

You can’t have any doubt at this point that we are the bad guys. #TrumpandPutin #TrumpandNetanyahu #WarCrimes

Couldn’t play because we were “Orientating” the new Brandeis School of Law students, but Tony Colyer insists it was a good time - for a good cause. (See, above, aforementioned students . . . ) (infra., supra., dang someone get me a Bluebook) (Actually absolutely do not).

At @louisvillelaw we’re always teaching, even when the @wlky cameras are rolling. @joyceogirri

Hearing the news that our Fascist President has federalized all law enforcement in DC allowed me to be reminded that Jeanine Pirro is the acting U.S. Attorney there. As a result the worst news was made even more depressing.

Andy Beshear should run for the Senate seat he can probably win. For all of us and for a lot of reasons. Rather than a Presidency he almost certainly can’t.

Here we go! See you soon, 1Ls. And you oldies, too.

People aren’t grasping that Ghislaine Maxwell is almost certainly obtaining preferential treatment from the Department of Justice for agreeing to NOT cooperate and name names, because this Attorney General represents Donald Trump, not us. This is, itself, a crime and a criminal conspiracy.

The call is coming from inside the house. Hang up. #RoseGarden #OvalOffice #Ballroom #whitehouse

This is the list. I hate that it falls to me to make this as clear as I can. Every sex act with these children was rape. Rape. It’s a moral and leadership and political problem, yes. But before all of these, it was a rape.

No Justice No Peace. You do the math.

"These death threats are a direct result of the license given to those who would change America itself by erasing the First Amendment," said AAEC President Marc Murphy, also a former prosecuting attorney and now law professor.

We used to solve problems. Now we avoid them. This goes for the climate too. Floods in Texas? Thoughts and Prayers and why would God do this to them when it was actually us, all the time, burning the earth long after we knew it would kill us all.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but no elected official - including the Governor - has said anything in response to the Lexington gun killings except Thoughts and Prayers. There is something that can be done. But it takes courage. So, I‘m not surprised.
