The problem for the Justice Kagans of the world, who see a case like Chiles as presenting interesting and nuanced speech issues, is that you cannot have a reasonable argument about those issues with people who are as disdainful of sexual and gender minorities as Sam Alito and Amy Barrett.

I think it’s finally time for me to delete social media because I’m all out of non-actionable things to say about this administration and its supporters.

Maybe allowing law professors to engage with each other on social media was a bad thing

That would explain it! Thanks!

This might be a dumb question, and it might backfire anyway, but why don’t the liberal justices stop referring applications to the full court when they have the choice?

Charli didn’t bully her hard enough

It’s almost like…wait for it…ACAB

Got to argue in the historic Fifth District of the Illinois Appellate Court today. Abraham Lincoln once argued here when it was one of the Illinois Supreme Court’s courthouses! #AppellatePlaces

My parents know I don’t answer my phone what on earth makes them think I’m picking up a FaceTime call be so for real

Lol yeah, as if I’m actually going to be able to focus on oral argument prep while the Temu Gestapo runs around Chicago

Bruen is a monstrosity, but accepting it as the law, Clarence Thomas is the only judge in the country to faithfully and correctly apply it.

Every state employee travel form should have a box to check that’s just “willing to accept absolute bare minimum reimbursements just please for the love of god let me travel how I want and stay where I want.”

Yeah James Dobson may have poisoned an entire generation of evangelical theology so, like, bye diva! But real ones know this slapped:

The Cracker Barrel is woke thing is hilarious to me personally because when I worked at one in college…in Waco, Texas…my coworkers there were the only ones who made me feel safe to be an out queer kid. And I was in the marching band fraternity.

Has anyone else noticed a pervasive drop in the use of the infinitive “to be”? I just heard someone say their deck “needs repaired” instead of “needs to be repaired.” I’ve heard this so often lately and it fills me with incandescent rage.

I’m 35, so yes I ~am~ testing out therapeutic shoe inserts before I go to the board game convention this weekend.

My policy is: if it's not important enough to leave a voicemail, it wasn't important enough to call me in the first place lol

Wait you people are out here actually answering your phones? Couldn't be me.

Gotta love filing early. Just had a filing bounced for technical reasons which means I got to resubmit after correcting the post-filing typo that I had noticed!

School districts that weren’t parties in Mahmoud have the opportunity to do the funniest thing

Assigning Mahmoud to Alito is a double slap in the face.

I know that a certain SCOTUS is busy dismantling democracy today, but the Illinois Supreme Court also took its first substantive swing at Bruen and whiffed by treating footnote 9 as a holding that all purportedly shall-issue licensing schemes satisfy the Second Amendment, no analysis required.

Who would’ve guessed that the only bomb we needed to drop to stop WWIII was the f-bomb.

Didn’t Justice Alito *just* pen a screed about not giving District Courts enough respect?

“De jury” discrimination. What does he have against juries?

Solidarity with trans people today, and always.

May Skrmetti be the Bowers of our time.

I take it back! I take it back!
