AG Sauer keeps leaning on Lyman Trumbull to argue that "subject to jurisdiction," means something more than mere regulatory authority, but completely ignores many of Trumbull's statements from the 14A debates that completely undermine his claim. 1/

"Outsourcing our flagship state university’s future to drop-in budget consultants is not the way forward" -- Jeffrey Dudas, President of UConn AAUP @uconnaaup.bsky.social
ctmirror.org
Opinion: UConn's administration should consult its own experts
Genuine collaboration and shared governance - not outside consultants - should guide the decisions of a major university.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM
“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

Kirsten Sword's book is great on this point--so much of the Commentaries was Blackstone trying futilely to impose order on a rapidly changing world, a snapshot of bygones, and we are far too quick to read static and settled law in his interpretations.

My article on the destabilization of the British Empire in the eighteenth century has been published open access in the @historicaljnl.bsky.social. It brings one of the major arguments of my PhD to print: we need to think about the imperial transformations of the public sphere. bit.ly/3XXW86z
