Democrats won't like hearing this, but the response to the kidnapping and deportation of immigrants and pro-Palestinian activists has been very muted by many Democratic leaders until this week. Why? Because they saw the polls & listened to consultants and thought it was bad politics to oppose it.

One issue is that while there are conservative people one can have interesting discussions with (some of my best friends and cetera) if you go to spaces dominated by the contemporary right they are unfathomably inane. Even other conservatives struggle with it! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

If law professors are unwilling to stand up for the rule of law and the most basic principles at the core of our constitutional order as sacrosanct, there is no point in teaching constitutionalism in law schools at all.

Imagine you spent the last decade building a career around being wrong abt the gravest threats to speech in America. When this becomes clear, you could a) either admit it, or b) relabel the threats to say that you were right all along. You'll never guess which route Thomas Chatterton Williams took!

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

Guess what the magnitude of threats is actually the main thing that matters about them! Getting struck by lightning and getting cancer are both ‘threats’ in some abstract way but in the real world you should care about one of them and not the other.

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

This isn’t doomerism. This is reality. This is the whole constitutional ballgame. I need y’all to understand that. For Bukele to say this while the president smirks knowingly should be the end of the Trump regime. Trump must be impeached and he must be expelled. This is bigger than everything else.
