"A new Marquette Law School Poll national survey finds strong support for federal courts when they rule against the president on legal matters. When asked whether a president must obey a ruling by a federal court, 79% say the president must obey and 21% say the president can ignore the ruling."

Some thoughts on "white genocide" in South Africa, as a scholar of both South Africa and genocide. The idea of a "white genocide" has been floating around for well over a decade. To assess the claims, requires looking both at the treatment of whites in South Africa and the definition of genocide.

When the White House was asked about Vought's promise to traumatize employees, they responded with "what about the J6ers?" Perfect distillation of an ethos where those serving the government are viewed as less worthy than those seeking to destroy it. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...
Asked to comment on Vought's quote, the White House sent a statement from an unnamed senior administration official: "What about the January 6 defendants and political prisoners who suffered real trauma and committed suicide over the harassment, bullying and imprisonment by bureaucrats who weaponized the government against them?"

My own view is that law school classes for the most part teach the basic concepts in a field -- the "instincts" you mention in the first paragraph. The time limit is not so much to mimic some real-world exercise, but to see if the students have absorbed the essential framework that precedes research

BREAKING: Second Circuit panel, one day after arguments, unanimously rejects government's arguments and orders that Rumeysa Ozturk be transferred to Vermont no later than May 14. ww3.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/is...
For the reasons stated above, the government's motion for a stay of the
transfer order requiring Öztürk's transportation from immigration custody in
Louisiana to immigration custody in the District of Vermont is DENIED. The
government's request for a writ of mandamus is also DENIED. The administrative stay entered by this Court is hereby VACATED. Recognizing both
that the district court's original transfer deadline has passed, along with the practical and legal consequences of our decision for the parties, the government is hereby ORDERED to comply with the district court's transfer order within one week of the date of this opinion. Accordingly, the district court's April 18, 2025
Order is hereby amended as follows: "To support the Court's resolution of these issues, the Court orders that Ms. Öztürk be physically transferred to ICE custody within the District of Vermont no later than May 14, 2025." The district court may
amend its hearing schedule as it deems necessary in light of this order.

This is one of the most-shared posts on Bluesky in the past day and it's just completely false. You might think ChatGPT is a *bad* search engine, or prefer another search engine. But it has had integrated web search since last year.
Skeet from Ann Leckie reading: "Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again."

I've known Judge Dugan for a long time. We have overlapping social circles and she's come to Pi Day. Before she became a judge, she was a legal aid attorney and a referee for lawyer discipline cases. Absolutely, we butted heads on the latter. This is pure unmitigated authoritarian bullshit.
