It was an honor to be with other OT13 Supreme Court clerks to support our friend Sparkle Sooknanan at her investiture as a federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The country is better off because of Sparkle's service.

On the 🚂 from RVA ➡️ DC for the @tamu.bsky.social Center on the Structural Constitution's 1st annual scholarly conference, Fundamentals & Frontiers of Federalism. Excited to learn from an awesome group of constitutional scholars. Thanks to Georgetown Center for the Constitution for co-hosting!

Erik Siebert, like Danielle Sassoon, is an excellent lawyer I know and respect--and now a former U.S. Attorney, after pursuing justice without fear or favor. He's a former police officer who has dedicated his life to public service. What a sad situation. (Gift link in next post.)

Hi again! 👋 Now excited to be publishing this article with Wash. U. L. Rev. in 2026. Still getting a draft ready for SSRN but happy to email it if you'd like to provide early feedback!

Hey Bluesky! Little late to the joining game, but excited to be here. I'm an appellate attorney with an interest in legal scholarship, and my writing focuses on state supreme courts, state constitutions, and judicial selection.

Hi! 👋 I'm excited to have a new draft article--"Ex Parte Young Redux"--that analyzes Young doctrine after CASA. I argue that in limited circumstances like the challenge to Texas's then-unconstitutional S.B. 8 abortion ban, people should be able to sue (gasp) states themselves ⬇️

Has an American judge ever been held in contempt of a legislature? Yes, and in this thread I’ll give a short version of the story of Judge Platt Potter, held in contempt of the NY Assembly in 1870. The story is a bit zany, as Potter went to unusual lengths to publicize his side of it. ⚖️🗃️ 🧵

Last fall, the editors of the Harvard Law Review invited me to write the Foreword for this year's Supreme Court issue. My working draft is below, and comments are most welcome. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

I’m very sad about the death of Richard Fallon, an amazing scholar, teacher, and person. He was my fed courts prof—one of my favorite classes ever. An unsolicited email from him complimenting my harmless error piece is one of the academic honors of which I’m proudest. A big loss.

Rest in peace, Dolley 💜🐾 15-plus years, 14 as part of our family. You were such a good girl. (If I didn't have a human daughter, I'd say you were the best girl I've ever known.)

I'm excited to be chairing OU Law's faculty appointments committee this year. We are searching for an outstanding constitutional law professor to be the inaugural holder of the Puterbaugh Foundation Chair. Questions about the position or living in Norman? Contact me! apply.interfolio.com/168669

Dick Fallon's death is an awful loss for the legal academy. I had the great good fortune of hosting him for a lecture at Texas A&M Law in April--& of being able to tell him what he meant to me as a scholarly exemplar & interlocutor. Rest in peace, Professor. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
