Thirty years ago today, 5 alleged textualists on the Supreme Court held that the word “another” in the 11th Amendment meant the “same” and made up a bunch of history to strip Congress of its power to hold states liable when they violate federal law. #notacourt

By voting to keep Mississippi's social media age-verification law in place even though he believes that it *does* violate the First Amendment, Justice Kavanaugh's opinion last Thursday bespeaks a flatly inconsistent approach to how he is voting on emergency applications. Me in today's "One First":

173. Justice Kavanaugh and the Equities
Thursday's ruling in the NetChoice case appears to suggest that one of the key justices is either being inconsistent or completely hypocritical in how he is voting on emergency applications.
