Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Today Ross Douthat platforms a powerful German man on a quest to "maximize" humans. And doesn't see, or doesn't ask about, the obvious precedent. We've seen this film. It doesn't end well. #historysky #skystorians 061
Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Big announcement about the "civil discourse" program here at #UNC - corrected for accuracy. #academicsky #academia 074

Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Interested in how an influential amicus curiae brief comes together? Joining me in this webinar are Rachel Grossman and John Nakahata from the firm that represented me & Larry Oda, whose personal story of birthright citizenship the brief narrates. apiavote.org/birthright-w... #lawsky #academicsky 072

Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Enjoyable to watch? Absolutely! Courageous? For sure! Unprecedented? Hardly! The stuff of "awe?" Depends on your perspective. Awe was what I felt watching this as a kid. What I felt this time was "nostalgia," or maybe "deja vu." 040

Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 07/04/2026My university is too scared of its shadow to publicize the impact of my amicus brief in the birthright citizenship case, so I am grateful to my former dean Gene Nichol for this shout-out. #lawsky #academicsky www.newsobserver.com/opinion/arti... 1245
Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 07/04/2026This administration's stupidity is unbounded. We circled the moon in 1968, seven months *before* landing on it. 1236
Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Like most everyone else, I see the government losing in today's #birthright #citizenship case. And it's braggy to note this, but this is such a rare thing that I'm going to do it anyway: My amicus curiae brief got *two* call-outs in the courtroom this morning. Kind of a dream come true. 2346529
Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 19/03/2026I can say only that the right place for this obscenity of a planning session was a space called the Indian Treaty Room. #skystorians 051

Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 03/03/2026The history of Japanese American incarceration is not a morality play about bad men thwarting good ones. It is a story of ordinary officials—some better, some worse—operating within institutions that rewarded racism, fear, ambition, and deference to military authority. 040

Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I'm thrilled this morning to see my amicus curiae brief about birthright citizenship as one of just 2 (out of 43 filed!) singled out by @stevevladeck.bsky.social in his newsletter "One First." The brief is here: tinyurl.com/3hy76638 Please help spread the word! #lawsky 0122
Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Yesterday I filed an #AmicusCuriae brief at #SCOTUS in the birthright citizenship case. It presents stories of 3 families of Japanese ancestry--w/o legal allegiance to the USA--to show citizenship derives from birth on US soil, not parental loyalties. #lawsky #skystorians tinyurl.com/3hy76638 220362

Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 27/01/2026It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Of all the photos from this era I've seen - and I've seen a lot - this one is the most arresting. March 1944, deportation of the Jews of Ioannina, Greece. A young woman sees a loved one taken away. #Holocaust #skystorians 240

Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 21/01/2026If you're looking for more reasons to detest the #Greenland move, consider this: 90% of inhabitants are indigenous. A repeat of the 1867 Alaska Purchase, a transaction between U.S. & Russia that ignored native (Tlingit, Inupiat, Yupik) sovereignty entirely. We're redoing the 19th century, folks. 082
Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 20/01/2026This "height of irony" is what Alito and company rely on to conclude that rights to (for example) privacy and bodily autonomy don't exist: X was forbidden in the past, so this shows there's no right to X. Isn't that the height of irony? #lawsky #guns #SecondAmendment 030
Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 15/01/2026I can recall a time when I would've gotten a screen saying the National Archives' website was down and thought, "huh, guess it's just a technical glitch," and moved on. #acacemicsky #skystorians 070

Eric Muller @elmunc.bsky.social · 12/01/2026Book recommendation: "The Worst Trickster Story Ever Told" by Keith Richotte, Jr. This is a wonderful and *highly* entertaining account of the development of Indian law. I learned a lot!!! #indianlaw #law #constitution @skystorians @lawsky 0167
