Marc Lauritsen @marclauritsen.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Perhaps the whole voting suppression effort is just a diversion from the true plan, which is use billions in dark money and aggressive AI to ensure the plutocrats that the Outlaw in the Oval (ht Maureen Dowd) can continue unrestrained. 011

Marc Lauritsen @marclauritsen.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Is a law practice like a human body?

Marc Lauritsen @marclauritsen.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Many of us instinctively regard the past as less complex — and its leading thinkers/doers as less sophisticated — than now. Each time I read a Shakespeare poem, play a Mozart sonata, or watch a Hitchcock movie I'm reminded how untrue that is. 010

Marc Lauritsen @marclauritsen.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Encouraging, even given that "We law people—those of us who spend our careers within the legal industry and its systems—could have spent the last half century or more trying to answer these broader questions of law’s linkage to, obligation to, justice as a central norm." 021
