From an avowed anti-Originalist. Don’t go back 250 years go back thousands!
He’s so lost his way.
Sad.

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). 👇

A week and a half ago the Thunder were on pace for the best season in NBA history and now the Spurs are three games behind them in the loss column.

That’s not how GDP works. But it is how propaganda works.

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???”

Eric Segall @espinsegall.bsky.social · 6d

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.

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. 👇
