Amon-Ra is probably a top 5 WR and I feel like he’s still underrated.

The president accuses Antifa of “obstruct[ing] the rule of law,” in an executive order which doesn’t even attempt to point to statutory authority authorizing the order. Think about that. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

“That whole violation of the First Amendment thing was a joke. Pretty funny, huh?”

I understand that Roberts et al are impatient to show that they and only they have The One True Understanding -- that the Framers, many Congresses, and their unanimous colleagues 90 yrs ago were clueless. But...what's the hurry, really? Why so eager to allow clear violations of statute *beforehand*?

I want to draw attention to the vehicle here: Trump fired the FTC Commissioner in violation of a federal statute. Wouldn’t the proper remedy would be to allow the commissioner to stay in office while litigation ensues, i.e., deny the stay?

Given the Supreme Court’s grant of a stay (which allows FTC member’s ouster) and its grant of certiorari on the remedies question as well as on the merits of Humprey’s Executor, this from Sam Bray is sure timely: @dividedargument.bsky.social

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show will return on Tuesday.

Very good piece by @chancephillips.bsky.social on @liberalcurrents.com today. www.liberalcurrents.com/trump-must-l...

The death knell to Humphrey's Executor.

Pieces like this are damaging because they obscure situations in which the justices *should* recuse themselves.

In my latest article for @liberalcurrents.com, I agree with @sohrabahmari.bsky.social that Trump is behaving like Andrew Jackson. I just go on to explain why that is so horrifying. Please read it if you’re also enthralled by 19th century political oratory! www.liberalcurrents.com/trump-must-l...

One of the coolest (early) birthday gifts I’ve ever received.

Remember when the Biden DOJ was criticized for prosecuting Trump for attempting to overturn an election?

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

The amount of corruption that will be uncovered is going to make our heads spin. This type of stuff is just the tip of the iceberg.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

In this post I explain why the suspension of Kimmel’s show looks like a blatant 1A violation, as all NINE members of SCOTUS last year made clear.... but also why courts may not be able to do much about it (and yet Kimmel should still sue!) blog.dividedargument.com/p/did-brenda...

Saw Bob Dylan tonight. He was incredible. 60 years later and he’s still got it.

Doesn’t this border on blasphemy?

How most presidents avoid upsetting the racial status quo—and why those who do pave the way for lawless, norm-violating successors. @juliaazari.bsky.social's Backlash Presidents publishes September 23 (18 November UK pub). Preorder yours: press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

They’re going to let Trump remove Cook on purely pretextual grounds. If they let him do that, for cause removal restrictions have zero meaning.

The ratings justification is nothing but pretext, but I’ll bite. The FCC was created in 1934 on the idea that some policy decisions should be made by experts, removed from political and popular pressures.

Ilya is one of those guys that makes you wonder: “how could such a stupid person get such a large audience?” No principles. No standards. Just “libertarianism,” which maybe never meant anything. But it *really* doesn’t mean anything now.

I think at this point, anyone who “both sideses” in the current moment has lost all credibility they might have had.

I need to read this. Leahy had an 87-11-9 record at Notre Dame. He won 4 national titles and coached 4 Heisman winners. Legend.

I'm thrilled to have been named the Howard and Caroline Cayne Distinguished Professor of law here at WashU Law! I'm very grateful to the Law School, the University, and my Dean for their support.

RIP to one of the all time greats.

This is now a fight between one side that believes in the Progressive idea of good government, and one that wants a neo-spoils system. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/u...

iOS 26 is definitely different, but the Liquid Glass feature is cool.

The DC Circuit rejected Trump's attempt to remove Lisa Cook from the Fed in a 2-1 vote. A key question: Do officers with "for cause" protections have a property interest? The majority says yes. 🧵 Here's originalist evidence supporting that conclusion. 1/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If Judge Katsas is correct that Trump can fire Cook “for cause” by lobbing unproven accusations of fraud without an iota of due process, then the Fed’s “for cause” removal protections are meaningless. This is a joke of a dissent.

The damage done by some of these shoddy scholarship on the Progressives from Hillsdale types is coming home to roost.

Ironic that a significant part of MAGA is built on anti-elitism and the VP (a graduate of Yale Law School) is just blatantly condescending to his base, who will eat it up like candy.

Vice President of the United States thinks Americans are idiots.

Nabers is that dude. Give him the ball and good things happen. He’s totally not on my fantasy team, either.

At least this guy has some shame.

Just terrible. Season’s over.

This team might drive me to drink.

What a win for Georgia Tech.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

So I haven’t been online much. Is the guy who killed Kirk a right wing nut?
