It was an honor to be with other OT13 Supreme Court clerks to support our friend Sparkle Sooknanan at her investiture as a federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The country is better off because of Sparkle's service.

Erik Siebert, like Danielle Sassoon, is an excellent lawyer I know and respect--and now a former U.S. Attorney, after pursuing justice without fear or favor. He's a former police officer who has dedicated his life to public service. What a sad situation. (Gift link in next post.)

Hey Bluesky! Little late to the joining game, but excited to be here. I'm an appellate attorney with an interest in legal scholarship, and my writing focuses on state supreme courts, state constitutions, and judicial selection.

Hi! 👋 I'm excited to have a new draft article--"Ex Parte Young Redux"--that analyzes Young doctrine after CASA. I argue that in limited circumstances like the challenge to Texas's then-unconstitutional S.B. 8 abortion ban, people should be able to sue (gasp) states themselves ⬇️

Has an American judge ever been held in contempt of a legislature?

Yes, and in this thread I’ll give a short version of the story of Judge Platt Potter, held in contempt of the NY Assembly in 1870. The story is a bit zany, as Potter went to unusual lengths to publicize his side of it.
