“We have some principles articulated at a high level of abstraction, we’ve got no position taken on many specific things about how to apply those principles,” Tsai said. www.theusconstitution.org/news/cacs-gh...

“Southern Center for Human Rights lawyers called the judge ‘a rubber stamp racist,’ and shortly after he recused, the state folded and took the death penalty off the table.” bit.ly/4eJytxl

I have some nice things to say about Biden in an essay that will soon be published. But they’re about what he did in 1992.

Angry about the latest Supreme Court ruling? There’s more you can do to disagree or build an alternate vision of justice and order than you might think. Check out my latest essay for Time Magazine, which focuses on racial equality in the criminal justice system. #DemandTheImpossible bit.ly/4eJytxl

Frank M. Johnson, Jr., at the University of Alabama. He would go on to become a federal judge and issue important rulings desegregating society & addressing racism in the criminal justice system. Working on a piece now about the political brawl over his replacement—More soon.

What Monday’s going to look like

Things are going well when your employees liken you to a dead body.

Actual footage of a Heritage Foundation meeting

John Brown, A Declaration of Liberty by the Representatives of the Slave Population of the USA: “They have been Deaf to the voice of justice & Consanguinity. We must therefore acquiece in the necessity, which denounces their tyrany & unjust rule over us.”

If Trump invokes Commander in Chief authority and orders troops to shoot civilian protesters: Absolutely immune core power, presumptively immune non-core official act, or unofficial act that could be prosecuted?

If Trump gets elected again, killing protestors would be deemed an official act. Let that sink the fuck in.

Worried about the latest SCOTUS ruling expanding presidential immunity, issued along partisan lines? Tune in today 10 am PST/ 1 pm EST. tinyurl.com/4j552h3p

“Bryan Stevenson, who later founded Equal Justice Initiative, was then a young staff attorney at the Southern Center. Stevenson was ‘heartbroken’ about McCleskey ... But after talking to Executive Director Stephen Bright, Stevenson and the rest of the staff formulated a plan.” bit.ly/4eJytxl
