“War has been well defined to be, ‘That state in which a nation prosecutes its right by force.’”

Spring is in the air.

The Historic Case for Birthright Citizenship The Trump administration’s efforts to narrow the scope of the 14th Amendment are based on revisionist history.

My latest on birthright citizenship in The Dispatch @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social
thedispatch.com/article/birt...

One of the more frustrating parts of this birthright citizenship and the common law stuff is that the principles people want to talk about span multiple countries and centuries and it’s hard to respond to that.

I’m a Tar Heel!

It’s just all over the place. I think my piece will do a better job methodically laying it all out.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

I am talking about an early modern common law rule grounded in ideas of late medieval origin. You’re not telling me anything I do not know. You have contributed nothing to this conversation.

Coke’s own articulation only ever accounts for taken forts as an exception to the rule, not occupied territory, which makes both side in terms of general warfare tactics before that time and the fact nobody is conceding authority over territory like that.

No parent should ever send their child to Duke or Florida. It’s abuse.

We’re gonna need a bigger reconstruction.

It is an island nation. But I’m happy to block you if you’re gonna be annoying.

Journal of What The Actual Fuck

I really like JOTWELL and think it represents the best of our profession.

But we need a website just for beef. A place where academics do nothing but hold up bad work to be mocked and ridiculed. I would really love to read more Family Law or Contracts professors going at it. JOTWEHL? JOTWEDLL?

I mean, Evan. Have you considered whether a foreign flag was displayed in the hospital room? Have you? You just don’t know what you don’t know.

The only reason why this argument doesn’t make sense to Ilan is because he’s— again— shown himself to be wholly ignorant of basic history.

Medieval warfare in England was much more concerned with “Quelle surprise! We have taken your fort!” than some kind of roving foreign occupation of the shires.
