Noah Feldman declares from within his ivory tower that things are going just fine, actually.

He is wrong. We’re in a constitutional crisis. Harvard Law professors can deny what we can all see—what we’re all experiencing—but it doesn’t make them right.

Harvard Law is turning out people like Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz, so forgive us if we are unimpressed by what their “scholars” “think” in the face of what all of us can see.

Feldman sounds like an aspiring Baghdad Bob of the legal profession.

This should be copy/pasted to subvert the paywall.
Vichy academia deserves what's coming.

It's literally in denial—he says things aren't bad because X isn't happening and it's happening. This is like a stress test—but not doctor is on hand to make sure you don't go into cardiac arrest.

What balls it takes to even suggest that headline. I’m pretty fucking tired of being gaslit by crypto reactionaries and fascists.

Getting a bit tired of privileged, complacent people telling me everything is ok as my material circumstances say otherwise. It’s becoming gaslighting, “don’t believe your lying eyes.”

The velociraptors keep testing the fence for weak points. So far so good!

Every day is Opposite Day for Ivy league law professors.

Noah Feldman is an idiot, or worse, bought and paid for.

The xenomorphs are attempting to breach our defenses. That is how it's supposed to work.

Bullshit. He shouldn't be in the office to begin with. The constitution has been broken.

ffs sake man. Embarrassing.

I have a circle of friends whom I basically only text when he writes something, and we all read it, and have a good laugh

I assume this also includes instances in which he’s profiled in the NYT.

Right, tell this to the USAID staffers who have been fired, shut out of systems, and prevented from doing their jobs, meanwhile all programming abroad is paused and people are dying. They dismantled a congressionally-created agency de facto.

In retrospect, it was a clue when The Paper Chase presented a white guy being asked to show up prepared for work on day one as some outlandish demand

mollycoleman.bsky.social•22 days ago

I’m dying, this is so funny and true.
