There is also an AI (both as a tool and as an investment) pump and dump scheme.

Reminds me of some other technology that is currently overhyped…what was that again…

Yes a “kill switch!” That will solve the problem. Give it to Congress! They can stop the AI with a roll call vote but with all the “kill switches.” Ugh.

So, the US signed a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia to give them our technology, while going to war with Iran allegedly because of their nuclear program. Next things you’ll tell me is that the US put up a blockade to stop Iran from putting up a blockade.

I agree and I think it is a shame. This is important and necessary legal analysis. If we do not do this work as legal academics, who else will do it? It’s also why we should celebrate your contribution that much more.

We need to take these steps more often. Dissecting the factual and legal errors in these cases. Maintaining an accurate contemporary analysis of the Court’s egregious misstatements. Thank you for your work.

5 second rule? I am going to assume you are not putting it in your mouth or have open wounds, so I say you’re probably good. I would go for it.

Remember when grift like this was illegal. Remember when Whitewater required a 3 year investigation by Ken Starr. Now, Trump just does it in the open, with impunity, without consequence and the @washingtonpost.com reports on it like it’s another Thursday.

You can go to an unlimited number of grand juries to seek an indictment and grand juries have wide latitude to take action, including using inadmissible evidence to issue an indictment. Despite all of that, they still had to rig the grand jury and engage in impermissible conduct? Wow!

Whoa! Grand jury misconduct! My Criminal Procedure II students would love to know more. This really is something very unusual.

Same for Gillis. Tires is unwatchable. It is tired, offensive, and deeply unfunny. It’s the equivalent of taking the worst of 90s sitcoms and removing all the heart and humor.

The Tennessee legislature proclaiming that they are being colorblind as they intentionally break up the only majority black congressional district in Tennessee is rich. Racists are going to racist, and the Court is giving the racists a green light.

We need to stop legal-washing the Court’s opinions. The last three weeks have made clear the partisan outcome driven decision making that is at the heart of the Roberts Court.

Absolutely!

The NYTimes expose made this clear, the court is interested in advancing outcomes over law. We cannot continue to provide legal rationale and cover to an outcome driven “super legislature.” We need to critically dismantle the alleged reasoning that upholds partisan decision making.

Let’s set aside the content, the writing is unclear at best. I am administering a 1L exam tomorrow and if my students wrote like this on the exam, they would not do well. I would have serious concerns about their legal writing and reasoning.

The memo and policy are simply incomprehensible. I don’t just mean mortifying as policy. But also inscrutable both in language and content. It is written by someone who doesn’t understand sex, gender, medicine, science, history, teaching, research, academics, academia, etc.

Yes, the leaker is the problem. Not an openly partisan court taking unprecedented action.

Happy birthday! And thank you for all you do! Star Trek from the beginning represented a future that we could work on. As a child immigrant, who lived through war and persecution. You represented possibility and hope.

“The 2016 case was a collision between the principles and personalities of Mr. Obama and Chief Justice Roberts.” - He operates as a partisan politician, not the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. It’s a mockery of the rule of law.

Chief Justice Roberts has long criticized the Lochner era. His own memos, indicate the Roberts court is likely worse. Openly and unequivocally partisan and driven by preferred outcomes and not the law. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Elon has openly spent tremendous sums to influence US and international elections. He brags about doing so. The irony is thick on this criticism and from him can only be explained as purely anti-Semitic.

When I wrote my dissertation, two of my committee members said, “Why do you have so many citations?!?!?!? What is going on here?!?!?”

This is particularly true in legal scholarship where we cite everything.

F-15s were shot down (allegedly by friendly fire), an F-35 was shot down, the bunker buster bomb (if Trump’s claim about Iran’s continued nuclear program is correct) was not effective, etc. Trump has reduced effective US deterrence.

There are so many issues, but just waiving off the causation issue of correlation by waiving your hands and pointing to correlational evidence is pretty low. Then dragging in Edmund Burke just to make a claim that you’re a theorist, is some lazy work.
