I've had 3 different people apologise to me fairly recently about negative comments directed towards me on this platform, and in each case I had zero recollection of what was said. I highly recommend having a selective memory for negative social stimuli 😂

For those despairing over the state of our democracy, you might find heart in the thing on which Americans are most united: the president must respect Supreme Court orders. A mere 6% thought it was okay for the president to ignore the Court. nytimes.com/2025/04/25/us/…

The Trump administration out here doing America a huge favor by demonstrating exactly why due process is so important. As this case shows, we can’t trust the government to make unilateral decisions about legal rights.

Here, WilmerHale's lawyer, former Solicitor General Paul Clement responds to DOJ's warnings not to tie the executive's hands. "There are some subjects where the executive's hands *should* be tied." /3 lawfaremedia.org/article/our-re…

The subtext of much of the "community engagement" discourse in contemporary academia has always been that every work of scholarship, and its significance, should be immediately accessible to the layperson, or else dismissed as a worthless boondoggle.

Donald Trump’s nastiness toward Canada didn’t produce conservative dominance there. J.D. Vance’s nastiness in Europe is producing the same result there. We can debate why nastiness seemed to have worked here in 2024 but it doesn’t travel well.

That’s outrageous

One important lesson from the second Trump administration is that we should all be far more skeptical of allowing important decisions to be left to government discretion.

Sen. Tillis just told reporters that as of now he’s not comfortable voting for Ed Martin for U.S. attorney for D.C., citing among other things Martin’s Jan 6 comments. Tillis is on the Judiciary Committee

Wild that district court judges perceive (correctly, I think) that they need to include explanations of how the separation of powers work and a district judge's role in that structure when they issues orders involving the Trump administration.

Seems like a good time to remind people that, when Congress tried to strip the federal courts of the power to hear cases from foreign nationals being detained at Guantánamo Bay, the U.S. Supreme Court said that was unconstitutional. The case is called Boumediene v. Bush.

Here's your reminder that the U.S. is still jailing Rumeysa Ozturk—over an op-ed. The State Dept admittedly found no evidence she’s antisemitic or supports Hamas. And yet she’s behind bars for speech. In America. Absolutely deranged.

As is the case in other areas, good crime news gets a fraction of the attention that bad news receives, especially on this site. “Thus far in 2025, Baltimore has seen the lowest number of homicides to start a year in recorded history.”

Ernesto Miranda was not a good dude. Even after the Supreme Court case, which gave us all the protections of the "Miranda Warning," he was convicted of kidnapping and rape on retrial without the confession Because Miranda got his day in court your 5th amendment rights are secure

New True Bill Talk episode is out discussing the recent executive order that targets prosecutors. Highly relevant given DOJ's recent investigation into the Hennepin County Attorney's Office. Thank you Carissa Byrne Hessick and brennerfissell for joining me! open.spotify.com/episode/2fq5jB…
