I haven't taken corporations yet— Is it a fiduciary duty of CEOs to make gold offerings to an insurrecting Nazis president?

Full disclosure: My class on equitable relief is this semester—I'm just chasing an intuition here—but it sounds like you're developing a kind of jurisprudence guiding equitable considerations & maybe equitable constructions of law

Could our traditions of equitable remedies assist here? Our fed courts being kind of hybrid b/t common law & equity courts, when c/a is a const'l question & relief a form of equitable relief, judges should balance equities by weighing basic interests "compatible with all who live under it"?

Amar has made the case for legitimacy of amending outside Art. V procedure but I don't think this is what he meant

The Originalist Case for Allowing the Federal Gov't to Erase Rather Than Merely Ignore Some Express Provisions of the Constitution

This has me thinking: Will there be an issue here on why judges, as agents w. institutional function, ought to interpret Const. this way? This interp. method might be appropriate for we the people as citizens, but what is a basis for judges construing constitutional provisions this way for parties?

I think Dems now have no choice really but to show daring & go all in for massive structural change to motivate people into showing up & rebuilding. A noble guarantee that GOP can't easily message around. Something seemingly impossible showing they recognize a deep deep need for reconstruction.

After I read 250 immigration Judge legal opinions on gender-based asylum for research, I've got a pretty clear idea of why people flee. They made brutal calculation that staying is worse than the dangers of going. But our bureaucracy rejects them. Read our NSF funded research here:

This sounds akin to my dislike of the phrase "It is what it is." Phrase is everywhere. I complain to my partner too much about it—

Two reasons, I think: 1) "what it is" can be different; 2) phrase is atomizing—"It is what it is" maybe for one person alone, but it may be different w. good community

Heat Waves, Wet Bulb Temps and Wildfires Extreme weather events put disabled lives at risk. We are generally more susceptible to temperature fluctuations, power outages, supply chain issues and more. How can we protect one another?

Wildfires are raging across Canada causing poor air quality for much of Canada and the north eastern US.

If wildfire smoke makes your chronic illness worse, I’ve got tips for you!

Managing bad air sometimes feels like a full time job, but improving indoor air can have major health benefits

You know what, I also believe we should send Duffy to the moon so he can build a reactor. Bless his heart let's send him to go try.

(I understand, when the words of democratic equality were declared, it was a historic lie. But I choose not to surrender those words, their promise & full human meaning.)

Yet in our civil society, twisted by the Roberts Court, guns get thick guarantees, reverence, normalization; voting, a thin, continually questioned anomaly. Conservatives see one way how the world was but ignore a world we aim(ed) to be—for this too is part of our historical tradition. 5/fin.

In civil society, voting should have the abundant presumptive rule, guns the minimum, strictly regulated exception. Our equal place in civil society is secured by full democratic participation; we only take up arms when civil society fails us or is imperiled. 4/

beginning somewhere in Hobbes/Locke envisions society as proceeding from state of nature to civil society, from a need for guns to use of peaceful deliberative alliance. Born from equal right to violence we've moved for equal right to democratic decision making. 3/

while enfeebled or lacking when it comes to any equal right of electoral participation.

Guns or voting: Two very different ways to jointly participate in the republic as We the People. (Amusing to me now how even Rand in one her essays recognized this problem with 2A.) The liberal tradition 2/

Still thinking about this today & want to ramble on how this dichotomy illustrates the intellectual poverty of conservative jurisprudence of the Robert’s Court: their historical/structural understanding of our republic is abundant & presumptive when it comes to an equal right of armed defense, 1/

this is how you flip your opposition's framing narrative against them
