On this week's @strictscrutiny.bsky.social episode, @leahlitman.bsky.social, @kateshaw.bsky.social, and I discussed the new Heritage Foundation plan to return women to home and hearth. Apparently, this guy is all in on it.

America, If You’re Listening: Denmark’s Example for Fixing Liberal Democracy Talking to Michael Bang Peterson on Denmark's recurring process of self-examination.

American democracy is facing its most serious crisis since the Civil War, but we have no coherent effort to even to try to figure out what's wrong, in order to start fixing things. But Denmark is doing just that with a model it's used before. 1/9

On the blog @espinsegall.bsky.social previews the next SCOTUS 2nd Amendment case, US v Hemani, which, he says, can be resolved by narrowly construing the relevant statute to avoid vagueness rather than applying the ridiculous history-and-tradition test its recent 2d Amendment cases have developed. 👇

Yes

The Supreme Court’s next big 2nd Amendment case should not be a 2nd Amendment case at all. www.dorfonlaw.org?m=1

Maybe we should have skipped President’s day this year.

Watching Nuremberg and feel strongly these Nazis had an ineffective assistance of counsel claim against their lawyers, who never once noted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average was over 50,000 dollars.

This, among many other fine attributes, is what makes Anthony an excellent scholar. He is always willing to ask "why" when considering issues, following the answers wherever they might go.

This is somehow real.

Lawmakers renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, which would block millions of Americans from voting. It failed before — and it must fail again. Tell Congress to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4tmVIor

Opinion | Gender studies courses are shutting down across the US. The Epstein files reveal why — Guardian US Texas A&M University is the latest school to end women’s and gender studies programs and teaching race. We know why

“abolition of gender studies is a way of further guaranteeing impunity to the elite men whose contempt for and exploitation of women and girls apparently knew no bounds, whether they actually slept with the women on offer or simply shared Epstein’s fantasies in order to gain influence or funding”

Oh I LOVE that Georgetown Law just issued a gigantic fuck-you to the forces of fascism by naming Liz Magill as their new dean.
