People need to ask the creators of the film SAPIRO V FORD why they're presenting the work as their own without crediting (or even mentioning!) the book on which the film is based by legal historian Victoria Woeste.
Kinda scandalous.

It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Of all the photos from this era I've seen - and I've seen a lot - this one is the most arresting.
March 1944, deportation of the Jews of Ioannina, Greece.

If you're looking for more reasons to detest the #Greenland move, consider this: 90% of inhabitants are indigenous.
A repeat of the 1867 Alaska Purchase, a transaction between U.S. & Russia that ignored native (Tlingit, Inupiat, Yupik) sovereignty entirely.
We're redoing the 19th century, folks.

This "height of irony" is what Alito and company rely on to conclude that rights to (for example) privacy and bodily autonomy don't exist: X was forbidden in the past, so this shows there's no right to X.
Isn't that the height of irony?

I've just posted a draft essay called "Tradition Without Text?" (forthcoming in Duke Law Journal Online). It critiques Dobbs for using crude positive-law proxies to identify "historical understandings of ordered liberty."

With the #Maduro regime now toppled, shouldn't the Venezuelans held under the Alien Enemies Act be entitled to immediate release?
A legal predicate for invoking that law was that the Tren de Aragua gang was an arm of the Maduro government.
If that was ever true, it surely can't be now.
