New article out in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social with @jonathanmking.bsky.social and @kstauffer.bsky.social!

Today in CJ Admin…

Student: can they search the trunk?

Me: Not without a warrant or probable cause. Please see JayZ’s hit song 99 Problems for helpful rules. My glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back, and I know my rights, so you’re going to need a warrant for that.

Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people.

Using our database, you can search for organizations and people that have paid the justices, reimbursed them for travel, given them gifts and more.
