Kavanaugh's repeated use of the term "biological males" rather than "transgender girls and women" is gratuitous erasure. Meanwhile, his citation of the NCAA policy is disingenuous, as it was adopted under pressure from the Trump administration.

Congratulations to my colleague and friend @profsamkamin.bsky.social on his long overdue election to the @ali-org.bsky.social!

Great @smotus.bsky.social interview of @kylec.bsky.social. Watching the viral clips of Kyle moderating local political debates featured on John Oliver and Jimmy Kimmel's shows, it's pretty clear to me that he should moderate all future US Presidential debates!

The Trump administration has illegally but successfully weaponized the power to disburse funds appropriated by Congress to punish dissent and coerce obedience. On the blog and cross-posted on the @knightcolumbia.org website, I propose some disbursal mechanisms that bypass the federal executive. 👇

Great to hear @keithlaw.bsky.social on yesterday's R&B. Reminded me of the great @dvr.bsky.social & Law podcasts. Keith, I understand resistance to putting #s on present/future grades but curious what factors you consider in likely future value, which must affect rankings. @enosarris.bsky.social

If you guys aren’t watching Yankees-As, the top of the third is insane!! @enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social

It's been a bucket list item to see Springsteen live with my daughter, Hannah, a huge fan of the Boss. Especially meaningful to be able to do so on the Land of Hopes and Dreams/#NoKings tour!!

Scored one run in 18 innings and still managed a split. #GuardsBall

Great to hear a Ralphy Velazquez shout out on yesterday’s Rates & Barrels! @dvr.bsky.social @zackmeisel.bsky.social

Cavs won two on the road to take this series!! #destiny

NEW: The Supreme Court allowed Texas to kill a man the state earlier said it was not permitted to kill. Justice Jackson: "I cannot understand the Court’s rush to extinguish [life], much less in the circumstances of this case." Today, at Law Dork:

SCOTUS in 2022: Five months before Election Day is too late for Louisiana to redraw its GOP House map that harms Black voters. It must wait until 2024. SCOTUS in 2026: Louisiana may cancel its imminent primary—where >40,000 already voted—to enact basically the same old map that harms Black voters

"Purcell principle for thee, but not for me."

The latest claim that campus left-wing radicals are silencing right-wing speakers concerns a Fed Soc-hosted talk by the Homeland Security General Counsel at UCLA Law School. Unsurprisingly, the facts don't support the accusation, as UCLA Law Prof David Marcus details in a guest post on the blog. 👇

FBI’s probe of Kash Patel reporting by The Atlantic's @sfitz787.bsky.social shows utter disregard for the First Amendment. It also exposes Patel’s argument as nonsense. If The Atlantic had “sham sources,” what is there to investigate? Fake sources can’t leak. @trevortimm.bsky.social explains:

Let's go @uofdenver.bsky.social men's hockey!!!

The Twins got saves from 4 different pitchers over the last 4 days-Laweryson, Topa, Funderburk, and Orze. Has that ever happened before @slangsonsports.bsky.social ?

Don’t know if anyone has already posted this, but the Twins got saves from 4 different pitchers over the last 4 days-Laweryson, Topa, Funderburk, and Orze (which are clearly made up names😂)! @dvr.bsky.social @enosarris.bsky.social

In my home league, I spent a lot for Tatis & Chisholm. Tatis is hitting ball hard (xwOBA .345) but has .276 BABIP, so maybe some bad luck. Chisholm's more worrying w/ xwOBA of .221 & a .296 BABIP. Small samp sizes but any thoughts? @enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social @chadyoung.bsky.social

Congratulations to Jose Ramirez, who now holds the record for the most games played by a Cleveland baseball player in franchise history!! 🐐👏👏👏⚾️ #Guardians

Consecutive series wins against the Dodgers and Cubs. Go Guards!! #Guardians

Chase DeLauter with his 5th HR on the young season puts the Guardians up 4-1 on the Cubs!! #Guardians

My article, Factual Immunity, is forthcoming in the Minnesota Law Review. I argue that, alongside qualified immunity, some courts in constitutional tort suits employ what I call factual immunity by crediting officer testimony & discounting plaintiffs’ stories at summary judgment when QI is raised.

Huge early season series win for the Guardians on the road against the Dodgers!!

Beginning to regret getting hyped by @enosarris.bsky.social and making Caleb Durbin by starting 3B...

Sandy Alcantara throws the first Maddux of the 2026 season!!! Not an April Fool's joke. @jasonlukehart.bsky.social

Great write-up by @jayjaffe.bsky.social on Chase DeLauter's phenomenal debut for the Guardians!! Catch the Fever!!!

Most games played, Cleveland history: Terry Turner: 1,619 José Ramírez: 1,614 Nap Lajoie: 1,614 When he plays his 1,620th game, Ramírez will become the only active player to currently lead a franchise in games played

A 14-year-old girl knew her constitutional rights better than her teacher. She sat during the Pledge to protest the war in Gaza. Her teacher humiliated her, even saying "go back to your country." She sued. The district just paid up. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/palestinia...

What was … that @timstebbins.bsky.social ?

Chase DeLauter is the third player since at least 1900 with 3 home runs in his first two career regular season games , joining: 2016 Trevor Story 1954 Joe Cunningham

TSA pre check line at LaGuardia this morning. 43 minutes to get through. ICE agents were completely useless.

Love watching Logan Webb and Paul Skenes talking about pitching in the dugout.

John Smoltz as if on cue, trashing hitting the ball hard as an important skill. @enosarris.bsky.social @dvr.bsky.social

If Team Italy is able to hold on, they’re going to have to throw a bullpen game in the finals.

Are you a law student or recent graduate looking for clerkship opportunities? State Court Report is hosting a free virtual event on everything you need to know about clerking on a state supreme court. Judges from high courts across the country will share insights. RSVP today:

Happy for Team Italy, but I feel bad that the insurance issues substantially weakened Team Puerto Rico.

Fastest pitches, last 2 WBCs (tracking history): 3/13/26 Mason Miller: 102.4 mph 3/13/26 Mason Miller: 102.4 mph 3/13/26 Mason Miller: 102.4 mph 3/13/26 Mason Miller: 102.1 mph 3/13/26 Mason Miller: 102.1 mph 3/10/26 Mason Miller: 102.1 mph

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box. The Senate must reject this bill.

WBC Team Italy. Wow!! Just wow!!

When a judge orders a journalist not to publish a story, it's recognized as a prior restraint. But when the government raids a journalist's home and seizes their materials, like it did with @hannahnatanson.bsky.social, that’s seen as something different. It’s not.

In honor of the first day of the 2026 World Baseball Classic, here’s a game-by-game recap of the 2023 tournament…

Very helpful 🧵. Also check out @becingber.bsky.social's informative interview on this week's @strictscrutiny.bsky.social.
