what’s most striking to me phenomenologically is how unruffled so many serious conservatives are about it.

I just genuinely don’t understand

I can inhabit a lot of viewpoints in teaching, and imo that’s pedagogically crucial

But man i struggle to channel the Roberts court’s dismissal of historical practice and cluelessness re founding. These guys think govt should work like X and they’re so sure that theyll constitutionalize it. 🤷‍♂️

what I’m going to super enjoy is teaching Slaughter

what is law? I can tell you what the court says the rules are! How much do we explore how they got there? love that journey can’t wait

these are not serious people

teaching Seila law tomorrow and I LOL during prep every time at the cheek of citing madison to summarize the Indecision of 1789

For the first time he thought I can do this. So good on Prof. Peters, who encouraged students as Grant Gilmore had encouraged her, despite the slings and arrows and humiliations. / End.

He came from an underprivileged background to Yale. He asked Prof. Peters in class how do you interpret this provision of the UCC. She said, well, what do you think? He said this changed his life.

Coda. I was talking with a very famous professor after I was appointed to a professorship in Peters' name at the University of Connecticut. He told me that she inspired him to become a professor. Why?

Prof. Peters teaching at Yale, she stands by a blackboard and is wearing pants and a blazer. She looks to be in her mid 40s but it is hard to say. Picture from Yale law school website obituary.

In honor of international Women's Day I am going to tell you a story about Ellen Ash Peters, the first female professor at Yale Law and the first female Justice on the Connecticut Supreme Court.

So much history. The most history. You’ll be tired of history.

I look forward to reading this. Greer is an excellent scholar and I'm sure this work is top notch. Just having researched personhood under criminal homicide laws, I know the history is a mess. But, the commonness of miscarriages strongly points against a historical belief in fetal personhood.

"An Originalist Critique of Fetal Personhood" w Chip Carter is officially online (& forthcoming in U. Penn. L. Rev.)! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers..... We scour 19th cen. dictionaries & the context in which the 14A was ratified to discover the original public & legal meaning of "person" in 1868.

hold that thought . . . i'm now being informed . . . .

CONDI RICE ISN'T WALKING THROUGH THAT . . . .

you can guess the contours, but you should still read this story

While the surge of federal agents in the Twin Cities grabbed much of the attention the past few months, stories of children hiding at home, crying in class and being detained have quietly gripped some Minnesota small towns since January.

line go up!

i hear that perspective. turns out it's a complicated question how we think about what constitutes private space, and what constitutes a burden on the sanctity of that space!

This is great stuff

And honestly just makes sense. The past is a foreign country. But it’s not Mars.
