I was a one-Tweet wonder. I write about juvenile law, periodically re-read Nathan Hill’s The Nix, and help prepare meals that are vegan, gluten-free, and corn-free.

This is Centaur. He was given his very own pool. Still prefers sitting in an old metal bucket. 13/10

a black and white cattle dog fits all four of his paws into a small metal bucket. though it looks extremely uncomfortable, he seems very determined and content.

Centaur the shelter dog has once again fit all of his paws into his trusty metal bucket. right behind him is a spacious bone-shaped pool for him to use, but he has decided this bucket is all he needs.

When I was in grad school in the 1990s, constitutional history was out of fashion and legal history was taking off. Much of the scholarship that Lepore synthesizes in the early chapters was published after 1996, including brilliant work on women, African Americans, and Indigenous peoples.

Thinking about how the field of legal history has changed from the publication of Jack Rakove’s Original Meanings to Jill Lepore’s We the People.

Brilliant from @adamserwer.bsky.social: the Roberts Court's attack on the Reconstruction Amendments are "consistent with the Antebellum Constitution’s narrow definition of who “We the People” are."

Here are some legal historians exploring the Antebellum Const.

Rubio was photographed pacing around the Oval today and then Trump tweaked out on camera for 20 minutes tonight. I wonder what speech Trump planned to give when he announced it yesterday and if plans changed.

Here's some legislation I'm almost surprised not to have heard any member of Congress propose yet:

Citizen Kavanaugh Stop Compensation Act:

For every hour or part thereof, beyond the first 30 mins, that a U.S. citizen is detained by ICE, that citizen is paid $500. Paid from the ICE budget.
