Law school exams would prepare you so much better for practice if, just 20 minutes before the exam's end, the professor comes in and adds a fact pattern or confesses they lied about something or hid some unfavorable evidence. But now, they need you to incorporate it in your analysis too.

Two of Trump's weekend golf trips cost the same as this program. Two. He traded two golf weekends for multiple generations of women's health research.

There's something extra evil about people refusing to take vaccines but wanting to see newborn babies anyway. "I've weighed the risk to myself and the baby and found my ouchie arm worse than RSV, whooping cough, COVID, flu, measles to the baby." Guys, i'll fight your MAGA aunt for you.

Alito literally lived through the Civil Rights Era, and all he learned was that he's the victim.

Crazy that lawyers leaking private litigation details about a case are held to a higher standard of confidentiality than the Secretary of Defense leaking literal war plans (twice) to a group of random people.

I hope Alito spends an enternity writing and a treatise about the difference between rights and privileges in a library with florescent lighting, a broken thermostat, and horribly wobbly desks. May his pen roll off the desk every fourteen minutes.

Fun Appellate tidbits: The "tipsy coachman" doctrine allows an appellate court to affirm a trial court that 'reaches the right result, but for the wrong reasons' so long as 'there is any basis which would support the judgment in the record.'

That "study" connecting the MMR vaccine to autism (Wakefield study) was funded by lawyers trying to win a case. As a lawyer, I think about that often.

Trump ran on protecting women from trans people. But protecting women against a real threat -- domestic violence? Nope. That's actually fine with them.

3L, in 2025: "I just got an offer from Paul Weiss. So prestigious! This will all blow over." 2045, now a lawyer: " . . . and then other lawyers greeted me with something between a sneer and a Kubrick stare for my entire career. I have no idea why . . ."

If SCOTUS says factual innocence won't save you from the death penalty, then why would you ever think that SCOTUS would think it should save you from being sent to a foreign torture camp?

Trump saying he wants to ship "criminals" to a foreign concentration camp really makes you think about how sitting in the front section of a bus made Rosa Parks a criminal. Voting made Susan B. Anthony a criminal. MLK was arrested 29 times. Muhammad Ali refusing the draft made him a criminal.

Any success America has had is a love letter to libraries. Where any poor kid could go and dream, learn, and explore the world for free. Libraries are a threat and a target now for that very reason.
