One more thought: I won't say existing scholarship is in vain, but short of proposing transformational reform, it works within a legal architecture that surely is no longer sustainable and must be reconsidered, if not discarded. New work must be bedrock foundational, not cosmetic window dressing.
Not to diminish law review articles & law school committee work, but right now law professors should be working collectively on an intellectual & service project of immense, existential importance: building consensus around a revolutionary constitutional framework-of a Reconstruction 2.0 magnitude.

Is education a lost cause?
No, it's THE cause, the pièce de résistance of democratic living.
Give up on it, you give in to the banality and brutality of evil.

The Speaker should not have unilateral authority to keep the House in recess. Add this to the growing list of antidemocratic rules that must be changed when democratic power is restored.

Let's be honest, when it comes to schooling, progressive elites want excellence for their own children and some more modest measure of equity for other people's children.
That's better than not caring about equity at all, but it's a far cry from equity for all.
