Tomorrow in the Atlantic: How Giles Corey cancelled his cancelers in his mind.

The science of muddling through.

Charles II cancelled his cancelers by putting Oliver Cromwell’s head on a spike on top of Westminster Hall. Give me an Atlantic column. I am very smart.

Well, the answer to that is 2 pm London time. 😆

What a time to be headed to Warsaw to teach American law. www.politico.eu/article/pola...

This would make a hell of a dissertation/first book ...

I think I’m more left than the average Georgia Democrat!

This isn’t a university.

lol

A long way to go, but I am warming up to Geoff Duncan...

This will be fun! #c18th #c18 #18thc

Free markets and personal liberties!

I used to know Gangster's Paradise word-for-word. But alas. That talent has left my body.

I think if you polled Millennials about "Get Low," you'd get 50%+ easily.

The Top Five Backstreet Boys songs, ranked: (1) Everybody (2) Larger Than Life (3) I Want It That Way (4) We've Got It Goin' On (5) The Call Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Today in my 17th-century writing adventures: It is fall 1687. King James II decides he needs to ask every public official, from his deputy lord lieutenants to the London livery companies, whether they support his religious toleration agenda with three questions. Dissenters are about to be purged.

The Most Millennial Song?

got my outfit ready for tomorrow

On the blog, @espinsegall.bsky.social, who is a faculty member of a public university in a blue city in a purple state run by a Republican statewide government, wonders what is and is no longer permissible for him to say. 👇

“You can’t have a prosecution of this magnitude and not think that your behavior has be completely and entirely beyond reproach,” said Anthony Michael Kreis, a Georgia State University constitutional law professor. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Remember when he threw $80 of sushi away because a bartender gave him the finger?

Once after leaving a funeral my grandmother said, “I can’t believe they didn’t play On Eagles Wings” as if that invalidated the entire funeral Mass. I think about that a lot.

This is such a weird thing to say at a memorial for a self-identified Christian.

you’re saying the government has created a public forum?

Shadi be like "YOU HAVE NO PROOF THAT A RABBI AND PRIEST WALKED INTO THAT BAR".

I am sorry if I confused people into actually believing you have been walking around the Washington Post, sitting atop Megan McArdle, whilst wearing a trench coat, pretending to be the WaPo’s editorial board.

For more on this point, see this recent essay by my colleague, @noahchauvin.bsky.social: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Elizabeth Holmes wants folks to send her books in prison to read? Should I send her mine?

Well. Actually, that’s called tax evasion.

“They should accept it because they looked a little Mexican. It’s the price of a free society.” Kavanaugh, J., concurring.

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

I scheduled a faculty meeting on Tuesday just to rub it in everyone’s face who shows up.

I’m going to incorporate ventepølse in my everyday vernacular.

My doubts about the constitutionality of the California law as it exists aside, I think states have the authority to require anyone doing law enforcement activity to identify themselves to uniformed officers. But also this is hogwash. It’s entirely undemocratic to permit LEOs to act like the Stasi.

lol

wHY dOes EvReYoNE thINk they CAn dO poLitiCS? Stop funding authoritarianism. Stop thinking that you can negotiate with Trump. How about that?

My daily internal monologue.

I bought an England jersey because it was on sale, not realizing that Nike was literally sending it from the UK, and it was $42 in tariffs. Donald Trump ruins everything he touches.

I am convinced that the WaPo editorial board is just Shadi Hamid sitting on Megan McArdle’s shoulders under a trench coat.

The next person who complains about a constitutional law professor taking a public position on a constitutional question... ... how about I come down to your place of work and heckle you and see how you like it.

Perhaps you should not follow a constitutional law professor then.

Perhaps the the Senate minority leader should grow a spine in the budgetary process. We can start there.

Feckless.

I have repeatedly condemned it as wrong and anti-democratic. If you want to follow a law professor who doesn't care about law and will just tell you whatever you want to hear, I know a couple I can recommend you follow on Twitter.
