Good news, you guys! The SEC will definitely win the next game.

Ohio State’s Bo Jackson chose “Bo” because his name is “Lamar” and he didn’t want to be confused with a famous football player meaning Bo doesn’t know… LITERALLY BO.

Should happen… won’t happen. Because lawyers can’t have nice things.

With a senior DOJ official calling online influencers “hoes” [sic], a reminder that our top story this year involved the moment John Roberts realized he was a whore.

Is it that difficult to conceive of someone with actual ideological commitments, who supports unions not for transactional reasons but because they genuinely believe in workers' power? nymag.com/intelligence...

Occam’s Razor continues its 7 century undefeated streak

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich not to throw a huge embarrassing snit over not having his ego fluffed.

Explaining that Matt Taibbi used to be a really good journalist is like trying to explain rotary phones to kids.

OK, so. Two things to bear in mind before I observe something that should inspire Lash to take this draft down. 1. None of this was necessary. Even if everything in the draft were true, it wouldn't affect the birthright citizenship question. 2. This took me 10 minutes.

Speaking of typos, someone should direct Ms. Dhillon to U.S. v. Murphy, 406 F.3d 857, 859 n.1 (7th Cir. 2005), aka the greatest footnote in appellate court history. scholar.google.com/scholar_case...

Wrote about the State Department's made up censorial rationale for banning visas for some folks based on their speech. It's nonsense. www.ms.now/opinion/marc...

CNN with its finger on the pulse of geopolitics.

“Judges who ruled against Trump say harassment and threats have changed their lives” electionlawblog.org?p=153620

Turley has achieved peak self-parody.

There are so many good reasons to push back against how AI is being developed and deployed, but this is so very stupid.

How much does Oklahoma need to win by for the committee not to advance Alabama?

Federalist Society people say Mike Lee is a genius with straight face

Sigh

Whenever someone pitches how their “Agentic” AI works:

The US News rankings seem to be descending into junk bond status

NEW: Pardoned January 6 rioters have been advising Justice Department officials how to pursue – and perhaps prosecute – the very prosecutors who helped put them behind bars. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

Vanity Fair doesn’t get a Nuzzi pass because today feels fun

If Joe Biden said this, cable news would be on its ninth 25th Amendment explainer of the day.

Could you just Signal it to me and your boys?

Need a distraction from the horrid news? Try my constitutional law exam. It features tariffs, the nondelegation doctrine, rights of AI/dead-human hybrids, and two fake social media posts by Trump that are absurd--but less so than his real ones. 👇

NEW: 6th Cir upholds the fed law barring undocumented immigrants from having guns. What's shocking, though, is Judge Thapar's separate opinion arguing that noncitizens lack not only 2nd Am rights, but likely 1st, 4th & other const'l rights! 🧵 www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf...

Since 9/11, the FBI has spent a ton of resources effectively entrapping angry poor people into pretending they were engaging in a terrorist plot and then "stopping" the plot that never had any chance of being carried out. This is almost certainly another such case. www.techdirt.com/tag/own-plot/

I just want to once again congratulate every business and media outlet who tripped over their own dicks to take right-wing outrage in uncritical good faith and ruin peoples’ careers over extremely tame internet comments about Charlie Kirk 48 hours before immediately forgetting he ever existed.

If your state’s attorney general is on this list, know that they are wasting your tax dollars to audition for a better job.

ACA Health Care Premiums Are Spiking… Is Your Firm Doing Anything About It? https://abovethelaw.com/2025/12/aca-health-care-premiums-are-spiking-is-your-firm-doing-anything-about-it/

This meme yet again...

It is hard to overstate how shallow and embarrassing the Washington Post Editorial Board's analysis is whenver it tries to write about the law. They don't make arguments so much as they crank out half-assed jumbles of buzzwords that they hope will make Jeff Bezos happy. Don't care for it at all!

If this sort of thing continues, ham sandwiches everywhere will begin to believe they can act with impunity.

Bloomberg: The FIFA of the legal profession.

Really? We’re giving pro bono awards to the Trump deal firms now?

Here is the opinion ordering Kilmar Abrego Garcia's immediate release from ICE custody. Held: (1) DHS has not produced a removal order for KAG, and so cannot hold him pending removal. (2) Even if there were an order, detention violates due process. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I think an Ellison takeover of CNN would be disastrous for journalism in ways a Netflix purchase would not BUT if I’m Netflix hearing these regulatory threats, why not just promise to spin off CNN? (1/2)

Federal grand jury rejects another 'Midway Blitz' case, this time against Laugh Factory manager From @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

She knew none of her colleagues would care, but calling out cynical incompetence matters too.

We can’t send care packages now??

Reporters need to spend more interview prep time brainstorming possible bizarre admin claims. They're usually fairly predictable: a soybean deal was always going to end with something like "Trump invented soybeans" or "Joe Biden burned soybean fields just to prove he could still feel something"

Nothing makes a high school group seem cool like making it mandatory.

Hey folks: this morning we're launching a monthlong fundraiser for @techdirt.com. Over the last year, we've been steadfast in not self-censoring, not capitulating, not sanewashing bullshit. But that's come at a cost. And we need help: rtb.techdirt.com/products/fri...

Some legal AI developers weirdly think the goal of research is finding “the answer.” And if you start from that approach philosophically, products are going to do stuff like invent a false consensus standard

People on here wringing their hands over how Netflix might treat the Warner catalogue as if David Zaslav hasn’t spent the last several years shelving movies and erasing classics from streaming to claim write offs

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social
