If I came across Greg Bovino I would simply pick him up gently and put him in my pocket.

The Originalist Case for...

Classic

Thankful to the Times for finally answering the question.

There is no doubt in my mind that Ron DeSantis and James Uthmeier’s unlawful political campaign against Amendments 3 and 4 using millions of stolen taxpayer dollars cost the proposals the critical points they needed to get over the line. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/12/15/d...

Fucking originalists, man. So arrogant.

These judges are corrupt.

This isn’t true. They were members of Bush’s legal team.

DeSantis and his cronies stole tens of millions of taxpayer dollars for political campaigns.

Another case, in Florida, of apparent AI-hallucinated case citations. flcourts-media.flcourts.gov/content/down...

War on Catholics at Christmas.

Got my Hereditary ornaments. (Jewish, have no tree, whatever.)

Ate Honey Nut Cheerios out of the box while the baby rammed me with her activity walker.

No one told me about Patriot, which had a great cast, including the great Michael Dorman (who also was great in For All Mankind).

Mary Doria Russell's "The Sparrow" is two bucks on Amazon. It's an excellent, literary sci-fi novel. www.amazon.com/dp/B000SEIFG...

Okay, but what about that weird building on the island?

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

Easiest marks in the world.

What now?

High-budget, prestige TV adaptation of all Frank Herbert-written Dune novels and a real ending that is consistent with those books (not based on the absolute shit the son co-wrote).

Amazing. “My 21st Century Blues” is a phenomenal album.

Oral argument done, phew

Wonder if Trump starts defending himself as merely an ephebophile.

woooooooooo

On his birthday we'd like to remember Dr. Jack Griffin (AKA The Invisible Man) himself, Claude Rains.

These people are lunatics.

He looks so peaceful.

WTF

Platner’s handlers didn’t watch Lioness.

Demolition was also the post-Soviet Russian understanding of renovation: "A White House spokesman said that the 'entirety' of the East Wing would eventually be 'modernized and rebuilt.'"

This is the closest to outright-racist I’ve seen DeSantis get.

Fine, I’ll do some fucking work on a Sunday.

Ron DeSantis and his cronies (including his now chief of staff and the man he appointed our attorney general) turned the state government into a political operation to defeat Amendments 3 and 4, stealing tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.

Officially published: “Abortion, Originalism, and the Privacy Clause: What the Supreme Court of Florida Got Wrong in Planned Parenthood v. State,” Stetson LR. My comprehensive refutation of the major conclusions in the court’s opinion holding our Privacy Clause doesn’t protect abortion access.

Billie with wife.

Another failure of the legal profession, that this person passed the character and fitness evaluation for admission to the New York Bar.

Ah, one of my favorite activities: preparing for oral argument.

The Florida state government hires outside lawyers all the time, and they’re all politically connected.

Crimes against humanity. These monsters should face an international tribunal. apnews.com/article/myan...

Judges should not wear robes.

One of the biggest narcissists who ever lived.

Sleep paralysis demon.

Convenient!

An article I co-wrote on precedent (not crim law) was cited several times in the separate opinions!

@frankel.house.gov What the fuck message is this?

My least favorite appellate judge in Florida is now retired.
