I'm aware there's breaking news--some of it, like the SCOTUS ruling in the National Guard case, even good--but I'm on break, so I've posted a classic about the "War on Christmas." The Intro contains new bonus content about how the culture war is going (spoiler: not so well but could be worse). 👇

Yes (and) beware the suggestion that Trump can use the regular military to intervene. Kavanaugh says it and majority implies it.

Court denies stay of lower court ruling that Trump can’t federalize national guard in Illinois. Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas dissent.

I told a 19 year old about being in high school during that era and mentioned that we debated gay marriage and he was flabbergasted like “what do you mean you “debated” gay marriage???”

So all those people who said same-sex marriage would somehow hurt “traditional marriage.”
Yeah. No. One of the stupidest arguments in con law history.

One of those reasons is the chance that SCOTUS will invalidate Trump's tariffs after rebate check go out, creating a fiscal gap. In an accompanying blog post, I discuss a remedial problem in the removal power case and offer delayed invalidation as a possible solution. 👇

In my latest column for @justiaverdict.bsky.social, I explain that Trump's "warrior dividend" has no legal connection to tariff revenues and that his other plan to rebate tariff revenues is unlawful absent new legislation and, in any event, a bad idea for multiple reasons. 👇

'Overall, the evidence presented by the article backs the general idea that de-politicization and increased technocratic qualities of constitutional courts would help them gain social trust.'

Highly recommended, and particularly timely for our US friends
