An interesting error in Justice Thomas’s opinion in today’s T.M. decision. Thomas writes, “The Articles of Confederation gave the Confederation Congress authority to create courts with appellate power . . . to be exercised in revising the decisions of state tribunals in cases of captures. (1/7)

Absolutely horrible news. I didn't know him well, but he encouraged me to expand one of my law review articles into a book, which became The Trials of Allegiance: Treason, Juries, and the American Revolution. I don't know if I would have had the gumption to tackle a book without his support.

Having trouble getting a loud wood-chipping operation scheduled outside your office? Just schedule a podcast recording for the time you would like them to appear. Works every time.

We've become numb to this stuff, but a president accusing a journalist of treason -- a capital crime -- for reporting on an ongoing war is not normal, and we should never accept it as normal.

It's a bit more complicated. There were a handful of Americans executed for treason during the Revolution. And the first person executed by federal authority was a Mexican citizen, Hipolito Salazar, during the Mexican-American War. On Salazar, see: www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/trea...

Treason, the Death Penalty, and American Identity

The only capital sentence for treason carried out under United States law shows the way that racism is embedded in the idea of national belonging.

Here’s how a guy who wrote a book on the subject explained treason when we spoke in 2019. The definition is not “made the president mad for vague reasons.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/201...

Alan Dershowitz’s acknowledgments in his 2003 book on the Declaration of Independence, thanking Jeffrey Epstein for his “warm support and inspired suggestions.”

Looked up the original of Holmes's Path of the Law speech. A bit jarring to compare the end of the speech with the item that immediately follows it.

The entire point of good reporting or good scholarship is to tell us something we didn’t already know and the idea that they could ever be replaced by AI tools that rely on scraping the internet database of what we *do* know is just ludicrous.

It wouldn't be the biggest thing or the thing with the worst consequences, but I'm not sure there would be a purer distillation of the constitutional failure we're experiencing than the confirmation of Emil Bove to a lifetime seat on the federal bench.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.
