Local news coming in strong with the least proud way possible to describe Charlotte Pride
Headline from WSOC reading "Charlotte's largest street festival and parade returns to the city" because apparently they're afraid to say Pride

So, this is bad. It's just a cert petition at this point. But they're not just teeing up overturning Obergefell. Davis would have the Court overrule all of its substantive due process jurisprudence.

Which, if they did, would be... very bad.
(3) Whether Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644 (2015), and the legal fiction of substantive due process, should be overturned

But see Trump vs. United States, 603 U.S. __ (2024) (Roberts, C.J.).
Congress cannot act on, and courts cannot examine, the President’s actions on subjects within his “conclusive and preclusive” constitutional authority. It follows that an Act of Congress—either a specific one targeted at the President or a generally applicable one—may not criminalize the President’s actions within his exclusive constitutional power. Neither may the courts adjudicate a criminal prosecution that examines such Presidential actions. We thus conclude that the President is absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for conduct within his exclusive sphere of constitutional authority.

Um. What the fuck?
"I find that that's assumed by a number of my colleagues in related cases that deal with free speech in the lower courts, but I'm not clear that noncitizens have, I will call them, the full rights to free speech that a citizen has," the Reagan-appointed judge said. "I'm hopeful we don't get to it in this case, but I don't see how that will work if a noncitizen has the same rights as a citizen to speak about these matters," the judge said, suggesting the question should be answered by the Supreme Court.

But he's a leader in the use of Generative AI in legal practice!

I have thoughts about the "Understanding Conservative Legal Thought" seminar.
John Greil is a Clinical Professor at the University of Texas School of Law, where he directs the Law and Religion Clinic. He is a leader in the use of Generative AI in legal practice, having secured grant funding to support its integration and trained practicing attorneys and professors on both the capabilities and limitations of large language models. Greil has published scholarship on competition law, originalism, and property rights in leading law journals. He also serves as faculty advisor to the Texas Review of Law & Politics and teaches a seminar on Understanding Conservative Legal Thought

20 years ago, Lipstadt opposed an Austrian prison sentence for David Irving, a known Holocaust denier, saying she was uncomfortable with the idea of imprisoning someone for their speech.
Yet Lipstadt, arguably the best-known warrior against Holocaust denial, believes that the best outcome would be for Irving to be let go. "I would not want to see him spend more time in jail," she says. "I am uncomfortable with imprisoning people for speech. Let him go and let him fade from everyone's radar screens."

Justice Jackson in dissent with one of the most searing indictments of the Court's shadow docket practices that I think I have ever read. Wow.
At least when the Court went off base in the past, it left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See, e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With more and more of our most significant rulings taking place in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it.
