Don't sleep on this August ballot measure in Kansas that would transform -- and deeply politicize -- judicial selection in the state. The Kansas Supreme Court has been a bulwark for many important rights so this is a very concerning development. statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

Kansas Vote Could Lead to Wisconsin-Level Spending in Judicial Elections
Kansans will decide in August on an amendment that would change how judges are selected, a vote that could bring a surge of special interest spending and unwanted political pressure on judges.

State Court Report @statecourtreport.org · 19/09/2025
NEW: When you think of constitution-making, you probably picture the founding fathers calmly deliberating on how to codify their Enlightenment principles into the US Constitution. But as @marcusagadson.bsky.social explains, the story of state constitutions involves violent crisis and failure.

Book Excerpt: Sedition: How America's Constitutional Order Emerged from Violent Crisis
Throughout history, state constitutional drafting has involved failure and violent crisis and has sometimes torn us apart rather than brought us together.

NEW: It's fascinating to me that most state constitutions explicitly refer to “natural” or “inherent” rights. How do you give teeth to these provisions? @ijsanders.bsky.social gives an overview of how state courts have applied these provisions to date. statecourtreport.org/our-work/ana...

Natural Rights in State Courts
State constitutional provisions broadly protecting “inherent rights” do real work.

America’s 21st-century political violence and constitutional crises look more like its own 19th-century past than like authoritarian regimes elsewhere—and this history offers important lessons for today, @marcusagadson.bsky.social‬ argues in @newlinesmag.bsky.social. newlinesmag.com/essays/the-1...
