He was such an incredible talent. And he always seemed to exude such unalloyed joy. We are none of us better for him leaving us far, far too soon.
Thanks for sharing this, Chris.

Fun to note that the last pope named Leo condemned the heresy of Americanism (though what he condemned isn’t usually what people think of when they think about the American church’s bad behavior).
Maybe this Leo will condemn “New Americanism.”

I need to figure out how to make this the notification when I get text messages. It might be the platonic form of a bork!

If the head of OLC at the time of writing is the current office holder, the former SG of Ohio, he was already well on his way to the judgeship. Judging by the way he argued in front of the Ohio Supreme Court, he’s got the insufferable thing down pat.

I’m feeling slightly ashamed that my brain recognized “woah” as incorrect, but took a really long time to click about why it was incorrect. The more I teach the dumber I get?

Not that my opinion means much of anything. But these are my two favorite Discworld books, too. And in that order!

I cannot quite express why (and maybe it’s as simple as how you’ve put it), but this appointment is quite exciting. Something about it “feels right.”

As a dog person whose life doesn’t afford him the opportunity to have a dog, seeing your gang’s exploits is a real gift.

That’s St. Francis of Assisi!! It’s where I go to confession and mass when I’m in Manhattan (which admittedly isn’t often!) It is the church that Fr. Judge was buried out of following his death on 9/11.
It’s beautiful inside and out.

Short of one of them coming to my writing class and explaining why it’s ok for them overturn lower court decisions or overrule precedent with less analysis than required for a passing grade in my course, I can’t accept the claims that they’re operating in good faith or as principled jurists.

What drives me nuts is the platforms the justices are given to do this scolding. And I’d like to think my beef is “bipartisan.” They show up at these events where all they simply answer pre-approved questions offered by a sympathetic interlocutor.

It’s been fun trying to explain to 1Ls in our legal analysis and writing classes that, yes, precedent and stare decisis really do matter.

This sounds a bit like the article I want to write arguing that John Roberts isn’t actually a good legal writer because he uses seemingly profound prose to mask really bad analysis. (Or maybe this makes him the best legal writer!?!? 🤔)
