Very much agree with this prediction. Not saying it's inevitable, but it's hard to think of a modern case better situated to be viewed retrospectively as another Plessy, Buck v. Bell, etc. Wish the dissenters had gone there! wustllawreview.org/2023/09/25/j...

Striving to canonize Geduldig is... a choice. My impression is that today's law students—even those who support Dobbs—overwhelmingly find Geduldig's reasoning to be indefensible (whether logically, morally, or both).

Sometimes you feel like you need to decide a case a certain way because the law requires it even if it harms people. Fine. But writing separately to say how much more you would harm people if you had the votes seems to me something one can and should avoid.

Really love being back in North Carolina. The classic Arkansas → North Carolina → DC → North Carolina → Arkansas → North Carolina path!

/1 Just realized that my latest article with @yalelawjournal.bsky.social just dropped! This is obviously a huge honor. I really appreciate the editors taking a chance on a young, no-name scholar with an idiosyncratic story to tell. www.yalelawjournal.org/article/resu...

“The Fed is different” is right up there with “only sec. 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment requires implementing legislation” in statements that really strain the notion that legal plausibility is any sort of constraint on the justices.

The craziest thing that's happened to me in a long time. Nearly fell through the ceiling while trying to move a heavy rowing machine in the attic. Only a well-placed 2x4 stopped that from happening. (Let's just say I couldn't sit for a couple days.) Grateful not to have been seriously injured!

New paper from me and @leahlitman.bsky.social, entitled "Legalistic Noncompliance," taking stock of the second Trump administration's emerging practice with respect to judicial orders. It's on the "draft-y" side -- comments welcomed! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Realizing that I'll have some colorful titles on my home shelves when we take Zillow pics. "Slave Patrols," "Hitler's American Model," "How to Become a Federal Criminal," "Lust on Trial," "From Slave Abuse to Hate Crime," "Civilizing Torture," "The Chinese Must Go," etc. Should I censor or no?

Tomorrow's SCOTUS arguments address whether the Constitution allows church-run charter schools and whether states can refuse them. The Court may also answer a vital Indian law question:whether it will use the US's treatment of Natives as "history and tradition" to set constitutional rules elsewhere.

New piece in the Maryland Law Review on an under appreciated provision of the Constitution, the Corruption of Blood clause of Art 3 S3. The history of this clause is fascinating and touches on questions of race, disability, eugenics, immigration, sex, and much more...

Trump & his lawyers rely on the 14th Amendment's treatment of Native people to redefine birthright citizenship. In our Essay coming out in the NYU Law Review Online, Greg Ablavsky & I show how wrong that argument is. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
