And look, it would be bad! Prior to the New Deal Settlement legislatures were free to regulate speech in all kinds of ways antithetical to modern, civil libertarian common sense. Traditionalism risks resuscitating those practices, an especially troubling prospect in our current moment.

not sure you can "quietly" comply with releasing him, it's going to be (rightly) quite loud, but thereports from the MJ hearing didn't look like they weren't complying

concur that parli is especially bad, but imo all competitive debate (at least in practice) inculcates a lot of bad mental habits.

why should the govt respect district court decisions in criminal cases? The judge excluded this evidence but SCOTUS hasn't weighed in on the objection so we're going to present it anyway. We don't think district courts should be determine prosecutorial policy. It's a core executive function!

this is to say nothing, of course, of the more fundamental and obvious point that the Court is picking and choosing what gets "left to the democratic process" and when in ways that partisan political explanations would predict with almost 100% accuracy.

In the Tennessee state house, democrats received 31.4% of the vote and hold only 24/99 seats. Notably, democrats increased their vote share by 5% from 2022 and did not win a new seat.

For instance, in 2024, Democrats received 33% of Tennessee's US House votes and won only 1 of its 9 seats. This was after a federal panel, following SCOTUS's lead, concluded that the gerrymander was okay.

It is flat-out wrong, as a matter of law, to think that ICE cannot arrest you if (1) you are a citizen and (2) ICE does not have a warrant. People should know that.

In retrospect, we should have figured out a way to fund journalism that wasn't classified ads.

been annoyed about this all day. It's just so outrageous to demand that left voters and candidates funnel themselves into Democratic primaries, accept when they lose, and hold their nose and vote for moderates as the "lesser evil" and then refuse to abide by the same principles

I know it's subject-matter agnostic within con law, but any sense of what kind of papers they tend to look for?
