Heard on Strict Scrutiny this morning, my new favorite descriptor for gun nuts: Ammosexual I love this pod so so much #podcast #scotus @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

NEW: We preview this week's oral arguments & also discuss an array of legal news - Marty Lederman @martylederman.bsky.social joins us to debunk the admin's "legal" justifications for Venezuela & explain how he convinced SCOTUS to say to the National Guard. AND MORE! crooked.com/podcast/debu...

My favorite podcast is @strictscrutiny.bsky.social because of how they break down complex legal jargon going on in America for the everyday person!

Next week, SCOTUS hears oral argument in Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s challenge to Donald Trump’s attempt to fire her. Trump claimed he had “cause” to do so based on allegations of mortgage fraud. Will be interesting to see if Trump’s latest effort to manufacture cause colors Cook’s case.

For today’s silent vigil - sparked by @strictscrutiny.bsky.social comment from a recent episode; in the words of Bruce Lee: “Simplicity is the key to brilliance.” #protestposter #inmemoriam #usconstitution

Starting around min 23, this is a stark warning about our SCOTUS and republicans leading us straight into authoritarianism. We are rapidly becoming Hungry. This is a must listen. #scotus #trump #constitution #democracy @strictscrutiny.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social

GREAT JOB ALERT: The Appellate Immersion Clinic at Georgetown Law is accepting applications for fellows! This is an incredible opportunity to do great work with incredibly smart, good people. @immersionclinic.bsky.social @brianwolfman.bsky.social www.law.georgetown.edu/experiential...

NYT: Trump's appointees to the court of appeals vote for the Trump admin 92% of the time (113 for 12 against)-a much more lopsided split than judges appointed by other Republican Presidents (68% for 32% against) or Democratic Presidents (27% for 73% against). (& he's doing wildly illegal things)

Finally got to watch the episode yesterday. Especially appreciate having Democracy Forward on. Cheering them on as to their FOIA of FHFA and corrupt stooge Bill Pulte. Would be interesting if there are connections between him and groyper James Fishback. www.courtlistener.com/docket/71698...

An incredible episode of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

A great podcast with @kimlanelaw.bsky.social and the super intelligent gals at @strictscrutiny.bsky.social. youtu.be/aOp--kPyL3I?...

Highly recommend this episode, especially the interview with Kim Lane Scheppele!

Happy New Year! Bec Ingber explains the lawlessness of Venezuela strikes & rendition Kim Lane Scheppele tells us what to watch for in creeping authoritarianism (including in courts) Skye Perryman updates holiday legal rights + Josh Ortner on Trump lower court noms crooked.com/podcast/can-...

Watch this. It is a sober, and sobering, look at how the courts are working toward the autocratic project. @strictscrutiny.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social @leahlitman.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOp-...

SF and LA: Strict Scrutiny is coming to you LIVE this March! SF is almost sold out. Get your LA tickets (3/7) at crooked.com/events while you still can!

Science, not politics, should drive health care decisions. CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social joined @strictscrutiny.bsky.social to talk about our suit against the Trump-Vance admin for retaliatory grant cancellations against @ameracadpeds.bsky.social and its advocacy for evidence-based vaccine policy.

Our President Josh Orton joined @crooked.com @strictscrutiny.bsky.social to point out a dangerous pattern: Senate Dems are granting lifetime appointments to judicial nominees who refuse to affirm the truth about J6 and the 2020 election. crooked.com/podcast/can-...

My new favorite podcast @strictscrutiny.bsky.social is back for 2026, I’m so excited!!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

I finally received my final Christmas present from my favorite podcast host and professor @leahlitman.bsky.social of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social! And look at the note🤭🥲

This episode is essential listening. I was especially grateful for the decoder ring that @kimlanelaw.bsky.social gives us here--teaching us to separate what the court might do to nominally assert its independence, all while working steadily to further the entrenchment of authoritarianism in the US.

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social analyzing the legality, national and international, of the Maduro kidnapping

Love Strict Scrutiny!

Take a listen to our first episode of 2026!!

It’s never a good sign for world news when the @strictscrutiny.bsky.social gals ask me to join them but I was honored to return to the pod for an emergency hit on the Venezuela invasion: youtu.be/nrR8gdpS-c0?...

Wow. Totally mandatory listening.

Always so helpful in processing *the things* — give them a listen!

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social all along!

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social love the strict scrutiny guerrilla marketing at this Seattle gelateria

Keeping the anchor chair warm for @arimelber.bsky.social tonight on The Beat on @msnowreports.bsky.social. Tune in!

Big ups to Marty Lederman @martylederman.bsky.social who flagged this argument that SCOTUS relied on (that regular forces refer to military forces, not federal law enforcement).

In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt. He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”

I'm so proud of my dear spouse @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social for her appearance on the spectacular podcast @strictscrutiny.bsky.social‬ (starting at 57:16/1:17). Yay Ellen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_rR...

Thank you, @kateshaw.bsky.social, @profmmurray.bsky.social, & @leahlitman.bsky.social for having me on the pod (my bit starts at 57:16, if anyone is looking for it)! Good conversation with smart women is definitely one of my favorite things!

It's our FAVORITE THINGS Ep! Our delightful intern Jordan Thomas joins to talk faves (things to want, need, wear, & ead). Then the amazing Ellen Weintraub @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social chats about why agency independence & campaign finance should be everyone's faves! crooked.com/podcast/our-...

A phenomenal piece by Adam Serwer @adamserwer.bsky.social in The Atlantic @theatlantic.com that explains the racial and class hierarchies that are part of the Republican Party, including the Supreme Court's, vision for the Constitution. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

A fantastic NYT report: Donors to Trump get pardons, jobs, & access - and benefited from regulatory decisions the Trump admin has made. SUPER timely as SCOTUS is about to kill agency independence & give POTUS more control over agencies (likely to donors' benefit) www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Oh that typo harmed me soul @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

Listen to this discussion. Would Congress have created any agency if they'd known a deteriorating creep would be able to replace independent leaders with hacks, cranks and puppets? Isn't that an actual issue for the proper relief if the six MAGAs decide to overrule Humphrey's Executor?

The episode in which Kate, Leah, and Melissa learn to speak fluent Fed Soc.

NEW: we recap the last oral arguments of the year, including decoding the WOLF references. tl;dr - SCOTUS is going to give Trump more power & control over independent agencies. We also chat the campaign finance case & other legal news crooked.com/podcast/scot...

The Supreme Court is hearing a case on Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. I chatted with @leahlitman.bsky.social about what’s at stake.

I got to join @democracyprof.bsky.social & @johnfugelsang.bsky.social on The Oath & The Office to talk about the Supreme Court case that will hand Trump a bunch of power over what have, to date, been independent agencies. And about a bunch of other things too!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

From @strictscrutiny.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/Swr1n...

@profmmurray.bsky.social, @strictscrutiny.bsky.social: Thank you for including Trump's disgusting racist rant in your 12/5 special episode. His racism is of a piece with SCOTUS's "just the tip" jurisprudence, both in the TX redistricting case—validating Judge Smith's vile dissent—and more broadly.

Happening soon - 5 PM ET!!

Honored to join the @strictscrutiny.bsky.social hosts to talk about summary executions at sea
