Chief Justice Roberts's HEROIC actions today must be met with the unquestioning praise they deserve! Chalk up another win for centrism and bipartisanship--don't forget, he was W.'s appointee! #SCOTUS #DACA

We've seen so many people "dunk" on this worldwide metro system--but the free market is, historically, the greatest driver of social justice for ALL people, and if the market decides it wants one metro line in the entire continent of Africa, well, we should listen.

It’s #ModerateMonday, so here’s a quick lesson in sane centrist politics! The political continuum is like a horseshoe—the far right and far left are closer to each other than to the center. (And like horseshoes, politics can be a fun, easy game to play at those summer BBQs!)

#Biden2020Landslide is trending, but we believe the most equitable outcome in November would be a closely contested race won by just a few electoral votes. If it requires a recount, so be it! Democracy depends on balance.

As we consider Chief Justice Roberts' pivotal role on the Court, it strikes us that this may be exactly what the Founders, wise beyond their times, wanted: One man, with an impenetrable mind, determining the fate of millions with the stroke of a pen. In other words: Democracy.

We, the Columbia Law Centrists, have decided our formal position on all TRO motions: They are bad, because they can change the status quo, but also good, because they can restore the status quo. Merits are irrelevant. We will not be taking questions at this time.

Ideally, every law would be struck down at least once (and ruled non-severable). It should be a rite of passage, like high school. If our country's kids have to prove their mettle by weathering puberty and lunchroom taunts--well, our laws should, too.

Maybe MOST exciting about this morning's decisions is CJ Roberts's Hamilton/Burr duel reference in Vance! Almost makes us happy we had to #WaitForIt!

We are pleased to share a campus with excellent student leaders—no matter what kind of organization they lead or what sort of hypocrisy or unwarranted career advancement they stand for!

This is ESPECIALLY important if you live in a state suppressing voting rights! If you want to regain the right to vote––you know who to vote for!

The Columbia Law Centrists for the Status Quo wholeheartedly endorse Joe Biden in the proposition that if Donald Trump has done a thing, we should be able to do it, too.

Spiritually, you never say “I’m getting back to my left” or “I’m getting back to my right.” You say “I’m getting back to my center.” We think this applies to law just as well.
