I am delighted to announce that I have signed a contract with Cambridge University Press to publish my new book, “One Nation Under Law: The Meaning of the Declaration of Independence.” Look for it in 2026, for the 250th anniversary!

Here’s how a guy who wrote a book on the subject explained treason when we spoke in 2019. The definition is not “made the president mad for vague reasons.”

Looked up the original of Holmes's Path of the Law speech. A bit jarring to compare the end of the speech with the item that immediately follows it.

The entire point of good reporting or good scholarship is to tell us something we didn’t already know and the idea that they could ever be replaced by AI tools that rely on scraping the internet database of what we *do* know is just ludicrous.
it really is both insanely inaccurate and also wildly offensive to assume that scientists and reporters can be readily replaced with passive sensors
This is what popped into my head immediately upon reading that, like, okay, so all those field scientists... we can just replace them with Waymos, got it, can't wait to see how a Waymo creeps through a bush for 7 weeks just to take a photograph of a bird that nobody has ever photographed before

It wouldn't be the biggest thing or the thing with the worst consequences, but I'm not sure there would be a purer distillation of the constitutional failure we're experiencing than the confirmation of Emil Bove to a lifetime seat on the federal bench.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.
