When I picked up my phone and saw a message saying "Did.... Did Trump get shot or something?"

Just got a Facebook memory of a meme I made six years ago Still valid + I'm nothing if not consistent

Fuck John Roberts all my homies hate John Roberts www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/735353...

Reviews like this make me so happy. Accessible (and hopeful!) was what I aimed for, Badinomo People shouldn't need to be a lawyer to understand that the Supreme Court ain't shit and we can do things differently tinyurl.com/originalismtrap

Clearly I enjoyed myself at Monday's Supreme Court event at Georgetown Law (democracy is in crisis, and also, if you don't laugh you'll cry) To learn about where we are & where we can go from here, check out the full event, available now on CSPAN! www.c-span.org/video/?53668...

What happens to societies when all legitimate, peaceful means of political accountability are rendered impotent?

Could not have imagined when I was a research assistant for Michele Goodwin in law school that 11 years later she would be holding up my book and introducing me to facilitate a televised panel about the courts, originalism, and reproductive justice 😭 www.c-span.org/video/?53668...

Yikes SEC v Jarkesy is out. Court says 6-3 on party lines there needs to be a whole jury trial to impose civil penalties for securities fraud I covered oral argument for Balls & Strikes last year to explain why thats not great ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/sec-v... www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

Important career update? : My book has overtaken Stephen Breyer's book in Amazon's "Constitutions" category and I *think* that means I now get appointed to the Supreme Court tinyurl.com/originalismt...

I was so focused on Supreme Court coverage today that I missed a series of messages from The Fiancé alerting me to a fire outside our apartment (we're good, don't worry, but somebody's car is most definitely not)

Exercising my editorial judgment re the Court's decision today in Snyder v. US, in which the conservatives said I understand that bribes are illegal but what if gratuities aren't More to come from Balls and Strikes this afternoon

The DOJ just asked the Supreme Court to hear cases about the constitutionality of laws barring gun possession for people with felonies I'm laughing bc days ago the Court claimed to clarify its originalist standard and already the govt is like so...that didnt help at all tinyurl.com/originalismtrap

Two years ago today, the Supreme Court decided Dobbs and rescinded the right to abortion Today, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case about trans people's rights to gender-affirming care There's a key connection here, as I explain in The Originalism Trap tinyurl.com/originalismtrap

I can't read a headline like "Justice Samuel Alito absent from Supreme Court session for second day in a row" without thinking is he...you know...

In The Originalism Trap, I talk about the implications of the Fifth Circuit's decision in Rahimi, and speculate that the Court might twist itself into an originalist pretzel to avoid further damaging its reputation by affirming the lower court's horrific reasoning tinyurl.com/originalismt...

That outfit on the bottom right reminds me of the Fourth Doctor and that's not a criticism

Obsessed and frankly a little jealous about how well Labour's candidate in Clacton dresses.

At long last, The Originalism Trap--hailed by Professor Erwin Chemerinsky as “a magnificent book" that "offers a powerful alternative" to originalism and "provides a way forward to reclaim the Constitution and advance freedom and justice”--is available everywhere 😁 tinyurl.com/originalismt...
