The president pardoned alleged co-conspirators for crimes related to the 2020 election. This emphasizes the importance of state prosecutions after failed presidential auto-coups in our constitutional system, which I argued here in the Wisconsin Law Review: repository.law.wisc.edu/s/uwlaw/item...

Josh Blackman: You can discriminate against politically unpopular groups without a constitutional problem, unless you cannot constitutionally discriminate against unpopular groups.
Glad we cleared that up.
Glad we cleared that up.
josh blackman contends that the equal protection clause allows discrimination against unpopular groups out of pure animus. I’ll just observe that the Court did not need Justice Kennedy to reach the opposite conclusion generations ago.
![The amendment, we held, was "divorced from any factual context from which we could discern a relationship to legitimate state interests," and "its sheer breadth [was] so discontinuous with the reasons offered for it" that the initiative seemed "inexplicable by
anything but animus." Romer v. Evans, 517
U. S. 620, 632, 635 (1996). In 2018, when Trump v. Hawaii was decided, the
Court needed Justice Kennedy's vote. That is no longer the case. I faulted Justice Barrett for citing this aspect of Trump v. Hawaii in her Skrmetti concurrence. And I will fault the per curiam Court
for citing Trump v. Hawaii in the passport case. This mode of constitutional adjudication should be jettisoned. We are no longer living in Justice Kennedy's shadow. Political majorities can disadvantage politically unpopular groups, unless
there is some a constitutional prohibition.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4d76fjna5nxqsy2fu6cgmp3/bafkreidqb4kjwq3sp7nzayuzvj67owatmcep34nndblnh7dm6bk5cjw6ri@jpeg)

Absolutely not. America’s greatest mistake was never bringing a single Confederate to justice other than Henry Wirz.
An 1866-style amnesty in the interest of bipartisanship.

Every time this stuff happens, my thought process begins to consider what kind of justice will be required in 3 years for these people.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota
