As the son of naturalized immigrants, born in the US after both were naturalized, who has been practicing law since September 25, 2001, I'm so pleased that 9 people who combined have tried fewer trials than me will decide if but for an arbitrary limit in an executive order I might not be a citizen.

It is simultaneously gratifying and horrifying that the NFL doesn't feel like it has to knuckle under to Trump about Bad Bunny, but FIFA fellates him when he literally has no power over them.

Never in 45+ years of having my surname mispronounced (and in the last 20 years, most of the time by 15th Circuit Court [Mississippi] Judge Prentiss Harrell) has anyone ever accused me of being adjacent to Bodacius (although I get Ignatius all the time). I am insulted.

this is an issue on which i have had a legitimate change in my views in recent years.
billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.
They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.
