This is JD Vance, graduate of Yale Law, saying that if he'd been VP, he would have tried to exercise power he didn't have under the Constitution, and would have unconstitutionally ordered states to certify Trump electors along with Biden's, even though Trump did not win.

Nicholas Serafin nickserafin.bsky.social Santa Clara Law This Article demonstrates that the Court has recognized that minor children deserve heightened protection from laws that impair their ability to view themselves, their peers, and their families as equal members of the community.

Horrifying. Has everyone lost the plot? So little attention either to the actual war in Gaza or all this? Some students being foolish seems minor compared to a nationwide crackdown on protest—in red states but not just. What rights will people miss under a Trump presidency?

See his thread for that shocking video.😢 Instead, now showing up in militarized gear for what’s being widely reported as bunch of students in tents, seemingly for violating an administrative rule just changed so that they could be found in violation of it. 📷 Olivia Paschal

incredible that this country fights tooth and nail when it comes to raising the minimum wage and building affordable housing. the police harasses the poor when they wander amongst us as citizens and now arrests ppl for sleeping in public. we punish others for our own failings.

It's heartening to see courts striking down laws targeting LGBTQ+ youth as violations of equal protection & parental rights. I set out a framework for making these arguments in my recent UC Law Journal article "Born to Equality" ➡️ shorturl.at/vyNFD reuters.com/legal/us-judge…

Yale Law School should be embarrassed. It's now given us JD Vance, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, John Yoo, and Alan Dershowitz.

I repeat: A party that cannot — or will not — course correct in the face of this will have a hard time justifying its existence

Kamala Harris won't be the perfect or ideal candidate. She won't appeal to everyone. She'll make gaffes. But she'll be a history-making candidate. She'll get a poll bump - & I hope she'll aggressively prosecute the case against Trump as I know she can do - & Biden can't seem to.

I think most of my friends in academia haven't really wrapped their head around what is coming down the pike if Trump gets a second term. A brief 🧵

7/ People like Vance and all the other members of the gun cult use this language about "soft" and "hardened targets" as a kind of commando chic, as though ordinary civil spaces are inherently war zones. But they're not. They did that. What's lost on even ...

I made a personal commitment years ago to discuss every single mass shooting that takes place in class while I'm teaching constitutional law. This includes observing that this phenomenon is unique to the US, isn't justified by the Second Amendment, and must never be normalized.
