And here I am feeling stressed out that I only have 5 years and 3 months left with my kid who is in the highest grade.

Ironically, for me it’s constitutional. I know how it’s spelled and immediately identify the way I typed it as incorrect. But every time nonetheless. Literally I typed it incorrectly above and then had to fix it.

Can we give Sophia Diaz a single bar release for 2027? I feel like that’s what missing to bring her bars scores to the next level. She is so clean and consistent.

It's always kind of bothered me that the Apostles' Creed doesn't follow FRCP 6/FRAP 26 in calculating time ("On the third day, he rose again ...").

I remember when he got argument time as an amicus in Texas v. United States and EK didn’t ask him a single question, and it was the biggest flex I could possibly imagine.

Yes! Once I got antibiotics and steroids I was like new within 5 days. So don’t delay going to the doctor!

I thought I was being a wimp and man-colding and after 3.5 weeks went to the doctor—it was pneumonia and bronchitis.

“Mother you’re amazing, but so hard-headed sometimes!” Best sentence ever to hear from a kid, especially after a fight about dictionaries.

I’m so incredibly grateful for the work of the @aclu.org , ACLU of Ohio, and @goodwinlaw.bsky.social for their commitment to transgender children and their families at a time when these children (children!) are vilified in unimaginable ways.

Jordan is a generational appellate talent and she was absolutely phenomenon here. She made me proud as the chair of the appellate practice, but even more proud as the parent of a trans child.

Jaime Santos @jaimesantos.bsky.social · 25/03/2026
In addition to being proud of my friends arguing in the Supreme Court today, I could not be more proud of my colleague Jordan Bock, who fiercely advocated for trans kids and their parent before the Ohio Supreme Court: ohiochannel.org/programs/sup...

The Amari Drayton second step was 100% the vault coaches fault. He started celebrating too early and stopped holding the mat!

Ahh this is super helpful, thank you! There are some similar rules in gymnastics (max number of releases on uneven bars with a particular root skill, for example). I kinda figured it could not simply be that skaters are bad at improvising.
130
Jaime Santos @jaimesantos.bsky.social · 18/02/2026
This is probably a dumb question but here it is anyway: when a skater misses a necessary element (like popping a triple into a double), why can’t/don’t they improvise and toss in another triple right before the end?

Curling is super cool. But it should probably not be an Olympic sport any more than cornhole should be an Olympic sport.

Are you a recent college grad who is interested in learning about the work of the Supreme Court but maybe not quite ready to go to law school yet? Come work with us, learn about the Court, help us craft presentations and plan events about the Court, maintain data about the Court, and more!

Ok but I bet the judge is going to be super annoyed at the “February 31st” typo.

Also the judge who made comments during law firm EO hearings in the Wilmerhale case the EOs were clearly retaliatory (and he was pretty surly about it).

That type of clerkship-esque dynamic is one of the parts about our appellate group I love most. Every member of our group is always willing to have ideas bounced off of them, even on cases they're not working on. (I did this with Willy Jay this very afternoon, in fact!)

Jaime Santos @jaimesantos.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
I had the chance to work with John on the very first Supreme Court case I ever worked on, Teva v. Sandoz. He was inclined to ponder things deeply, roam the halls, and drop by without notice to ask for your thoughts on the issue he was wondering.

I get to write another "new appellate person joining our team" post! I'm incredibly excited that John Englander, who just retired as a Justice on the Massachusetts Appeals Court, will be rejoining Goodwin as Of Counsel in our Appellate and Supreme Court practice. www.goodwinlaw.com/en/news-and-...

So it’s like my first word each day on Wordle: the chaos approach.

Jaime Santos @jaimesantos.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
Yes, @andrewkim.bsky.social noticed the change in the panel orders as well. Would be interesting to know what, exactly, is the new format. Is it “motions panel for 4 motions, then switch”? Or “motions panel for 2 weeks”? Or “random motions panels set by the Chief Judge each day”?

Jaime Santos @jaimesantos.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
Thanks Marin! I had not yet seen this, and agree it is a very good change.

The only thing saving my family is that I came down on NYE with some horrible bug that seems to have hit its apex today, so all I can do is half-heartedly admonition others to clean up while feeling exasperated and helpless.

FOIA is such a critical tool for historians, political scientists, and national security scholars. Proud to help out, though Andrew most definitely did the legwork on this one!

The National Security Archive was originally told that simply completing declassification review would take 12 YEARS. (That is ... longer than FOIA contemplates, to put it mildly.)
