Did any of the folks who like the US open and are shocked by Chrissie Everet’s commentary on Coco and Naomi (hard to put a finger on what connects them) migrate to BS?

Just lol to the worst people on earth using the most abusive power against each other and any pearl clutching. L Law enforcement is randomly deployed against people — poor people and people of color daily forever.

But it by no means follows that we should fold things up. Most law in the U.S. does not involve the Supreme Court, and every Supreme Court decision, every one, has wiggle room that antifascists should be as willing to find as fascists. So take it.

Near the end of the Biden years, Elizabeth Prelogar asked the Supreme Court to rein in nationwide injunctions in a low-stakes case where a Republican judge/Fifth Circuit blocked an act of Congress from applying to anyone anywhere.

They declined and took up Trump’s patently illegal order instead.

The examples in this oped are so stark. Obama and Biden— help kids and educate. Trump — van and terrorize. Anyway, hope dems are drafting so many laws right now.

One of the articles I'm most proud of is now out in the world as the lead article in the latest volume of the Minnesota Law Review thanks to its wonderful editors.

Co-authoring it w/ Rell Carter fundamentally altered how I think about the production of knowledge.

Research stab in the dark. Other than sexual offenses, does anyone know of proposals to extend or abolish criminal SOL for any crimes? Can be proposed by anyone, doesn't have to be a bill, advocates, activists, whoever.
