if your strategic advisors were unable to determine that the President who repeatedly called affordability a "hoax" and a "conjob" was not going to focus on affordability, then your strategic advisors are not worth what they're being paid

it is! I believe it's on the second floor of the law school

Of course, I *should've* known about it because there's a book about the work and everything, and @profferguson.bsky.social wrote a chapter about the Jardines painting!

Florida v. Jardines, as painted by Xavier Cortada

When visiting FIU last week for a workshop (shoutout to @vanessamiller.bsky.social), I saw Xavier Cortada's "May It Please the Court" series of paintings of Florida-related U.S. Supreme Court cases, which I didn't know about. His depiction of Jardines is quite striking.

the SNL parody of Fox and Friends is now quite dated, but still holds up even with different hosts

Giving dissatisfied pro se litigants a grievance machine produces predictable results

Had to doublecheck the date on this

Colorado Democrats blast Gov. Jared Polis as he again hints at intervening in Tina Peters’ prison sentence Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has again signaled that he thinks Tina Peters’ prison sentence was too harsh as he considers granting some form of clemency — though not a full pardon, his off…

Seems like the Colorado House Speaker could (and should) preempt this with an impeachment threat. www.denverpost.com/2026/03/04/j...

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

I took great pleasure in spring of 2022 in playing the "how early can I go to bed and get up" game

NO SUCH THING

I'm proud to be running for the Georgia Court of Appeals. Let’s get to work.

I hope you know you're always welcome (nay, encouraged) to send your work to me!!

"How to Run a Law Review Symposium," forthcoming in the Duquesne Law Review, now on SSRN (and I didn't even have to pester them about it!)

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

"yeah I rigged my race, fuck you" is a fascinating message to go with

oh hmmm I don't think I recall that specific thing

I have no idea what that is 😬

nearly fully ChatGPT-written articles!

I've read some of these pieces, which some law reviews have published. They are indeed as bad as you describe.

Jerry, if you can believe it, some people not only write their articles with/via ChatGPT, but they do so PROUDLY and even publish "best practices" pieces (written with/via ChatGPT) for writing law review articles with/via ChatGPT

you know how I love that

yes, that's what has happened this cycle and also was true in the February cycle before. oddly (to me, anyway) the past few August cycles have been going better.

finally, a use for "A Response to SSRN’s Removal of Jerry Edwards's 'The Originalist Case for the President’s Power to Pardon State Offenses'"

Run University of Montana President Seth Bednar as an independent given the poor perception of the Democratic brand in Montana. It would require the eventual Democratic nominee to stand down.

Montana Dems need to stop fucking around and get on board with Tester’s plan
