Glad there can be no 1A claim for ‘’I hereby search you in retaliation for your protected speech, thereby dispelling any causal complexities!’’ That seems right.

More Congressional Material On-Line
[We are reproducing the following from In Custodia Legis, the blog of the Law Library of Congress, on the latest "migration" of Congressional materials from "Century of Lawmaking" to the digital site, Congress.gov. DRE]
We have been working on migrating content from Century of Lawmaking to Congress.gov over the last few years. We kicked this off with migrating 30,000 Bills and Resolutions from 1799-1873. Then, in February 2024, we added the Annals of Congress to Congress.gov. In November last year, we added the Senate Journal to our site. The House Journal was added in the following release. If you are interested in more information on the journals, we have help pages for both the House Journal and Senate Journal.
Earlier this year, in February, we added the Congressional Globe. The Debates of Congress (Congressional Globe, The Annals of Congress, and the Register of Debates) are all predecessors to the Congressional Record, which goes back to 1873 on Congress.gov. The Globe was followed by the Senate Executive Journal going live on Congress.gov in April.
With today’s release we are adding the last item from the Debates of Congress, the Register of Debates. This is also the last area of content to migrate from Century of Lawmaking to Congress.gov. You can see the Register of Debates starting with the 18th Congress of the Browse page and through the 25th Congress.

Civic duties aren't static artifacts; they've been created, altered, and destroyed in response to cultural pressures. Because individual liberty and social obligation are dialectically linked, it doesn't make sense to decide liberty claims in a purely time-bound way. (Cough, Dobbs.)

The article explores the (mostly) forgotten concept of duties owed to the state. For decades, judges would just say that certain legal compulsions rested on societal obligations, thereby negating associated liberty claims. And plenty of modern laws still function as a form of conscription.

this is a tacit admission that the administration is not confident in the legal arguments it would have to make in order to detain them, which should also cast into question the legality of the operation in the first place

Very glad to see that former SG Prelogar and her team are handling this one. Nothing other than summary reversal is warranted here, but I’d settle for a cert grant.

extra comma in the Dobbs majority opinion
This is not the most important part about Dobbs, but there’s (still) a typo on p. 6:

I am confident that, in performing this limited historical analysis, the Court will not analogize to the holdings of prior cases. Nor will it derive from those cases principles that seemingly encompass the present SDP claim.

If the Court eventually grants cert here, I look forward to its "careful analysis" of the relevant history. Was there, in fact, a positive-law right to obtain information from the government about the gender-identity choices of one's children?

The sequence appears to be: (1) "All flag burners should be incarcerated"; (2) EO prioritizing the prosecution of flag burners who cause noncommunicative harms (because doctrine); and (3) "No, I'm actually demanding that literally everyone who burns a flag be imprisoned."
