Today 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

You mean 6 years. Germany invaded Poland in September 1939.

To be clear, what I hope he gets is the opprobrium of his colleagues and students. He should be treated like a pariah. But he should not be subjected to job action.

Interested 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

I said it was enjoyable. I enjoyed it. Being unable to imagine people can experience the same thing differently must be frustrating.

Enjoyable 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."

Dear Chief Justice Roberts, is threatening the death of a civilization within the scope of the President's Article II absolute immunity? Or just his presumptive immunity? Asking for a nation. #lawsky

My 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...

I started studying Japanese American imprisonment before 9/11, when it was "just history." Today it's anything but just history. I hate what's happening in our world, but am so glad to be able to make a little contribution.

Like 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.

I'm stunned. Rachel Maddow spent a full 3 minutes tonight detailing the arguments I make in my amicus curiae brief in the birthright citizenship case. Here's hoping Sam Alito and Neil Gorsuch are regular Maddow Show watchers! 😉 www.youtube.com/live/e5u_Dmb...

In my amicus curiae brief in the birthright citizenship case, I show that the U.S. recognized as citizens children born to (1) Japanese enemy aliens, (2) US citizenship renunciants, and even (3) people dragged to the US from Peru and held for deportation. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

What an odd take. I've been on college campuses since 1994. There have been countless events worthy of big protests over that time -- and almost no sizable protests. The question is the opposite of the one this piece asks: why has there been only one seize-the-campus-style protest in decades?
