I am very angry. Which is weird for me because I don't usually get angry. (Depressed is more my speed). But I am very angry at the cowards, the betrayers of our oath, the colleagues who joined my profession but now abandon any pretense of pursuing the ideals of the rule of law.

The US Attorney in Washington DC is investigating Georgetown Law School, demanding that "if DEI is found in your courses or teaching in anyway [sic]," the law school should "move swiftly to remove it" Federal prosecutors don’t control the classroom. This is a dark abdication of the First Amendment.

Dear Sir,
As United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, I receive requests for information and clarification. I take these requests seriously and act on them with letters like this one you are receiving.
It has come to my attention reliably that Georgetown Law School continues to teach and promote DEl. This is unacceptable. I have begun an inquiry into this and would welcome your response to the following questions:
First, have you eliminated all DEl from your school and its curriculum?
Second, if DEl is found in your courses or teaching in anyway, will you move swiftly to remove it?
At this time, you should know that no applicant for our fellows program, our summer internship, or employment in our office who is a student or affiliated with a law school or university that continues to teach and utilize DEl will be considered.
I look forward to your cooperation with my letter of inquiry after request. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Please respond by Monday, February 24, 2025. Should you have further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call my office or schedule a time to meet in person.

Ed Martin’s “Operation Whirlwind” is a political stunt — and a dangerously unconstitutional one. @jtmorristx.bsky.social and I explain why. www.thefire.org/news/us-atto...

US Attorney Ed Martin’s bully tactics have no place in America

The U.S. attorney is defying the First Amendment by chasing after Americans for their protected speech.

Man, this is a super important win. Cheers to everyone involved. (Via IJ’s Short Circuit.) www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/2220…

Does the First Amendment protect the right to distribute government records relating to child abuse? Third Circuit: It certainly does if they’ve already been released to the public. Thus, Pennsylvania is enjoined from prosecuting a grandmother who wants to distribute previously released documents pertaining to the death of her 2-year-old grandchild to criticize the conduct of the York County Office of Children and Youth Services.
