Me drinking five cans of Coke Zero per day is perfectly fine, actually, and also none of your business.

Unfortunately, in the noble tradition of OLC's torture memo, everyone involved with the boat bombings will subsequently rocket to the highest echelons of the legal profession.

Editing down 303 for inclusion in the new edition of my casebook takes forever when it’s the two most unnecessarily long-winded current justices writing the opinions.

I’m a tough critic but I say without reservation that Jason Riley has consistently been the best legal reporter in Louisville for many years. This is a big loss for local media. Best of luck Jason in whatever is next!

Recently, I have been wrestling, accompanied by Maureen Junker-Kenny’s work (especially Approaches to Theological Ethics: Sources, Traditions, Visions), with the ways in which Scripture is used in ethics. Sharing MJK’s insights below, just in case others find them useful: βš“

If your goal was to ensure that Republicans held both Kentucky senate seats forever, what would you do differently than pour money into another McGrath campaign?

Joe I just received my first new McGrath text message and I blame you personally for this.

If you're building a new library and the plans do not include a reading room with a very high ceiling (preferably domed or vaulted), please revise your plans.

What if SCOTUS just took a sabbatical this term and let the lower courts handle everything for a while?

Folks dunking on the "much more than I expected" crowd but I think I'd like to talk to the "much less" and "less" folks to see what exactly it was THEY expected.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine
