Solidarity with all the newbee Admin Law profs.

Yesterday, I drove around the city looking for burlap sacks for our sandbags. I couldn't locate any sacks but did manage to find... the year 2002.

Dean Tolson is 100% right
Screen shot of Dean Tolson on Twitter responding to those effusively celebrating the Moore decision. “The Court rejected an extreme rule that would be terrible for American democracy, but that is what they are supposed to do. Moore is a status quo decision that still invites a level of mischief, the extent of which remains to be seen.  It is not Baker or Reynolds. It’s…fine”

Just a beautiful tribute to Daniel Ellsberg by David Shribman pge.libercus.net//.pf/showstory/202…
Screenshot highlighting a passage from David Shribman's obituary of Daniel Ellsberg. The highlighted passage reads: "The Pentagon Papers were America’s version of the Gilgamesh epic and Middlemarch, works seldom read but carrying vast implications anyway. Perhaps a better example is Don Quixote, for Mr. Ellsberg was tilting at the greatest windmills of modern civilization: the American presidency and the Pentagon. He was Cervantes with a relentless sense of certainty."
