Ever since the American Political Science Association annual convention main hotel in 2014 was evacuated at 2AM because of a fire, now when I buy new pajamas, I think about whether it would be appropriate to greet the public in the outfit. An arsonist was setting small fires in the hotel stairwells

Helpful review of past fed Indian law cases. "The Supreme Court, becoming known as a tribunal willing to overturn some of its major decisions, could only muster two votes on Monday to reconsider one of the most fiercely condemned rulings on the law governing America’s Indian tribes."
One of the most reviled decisions by SCt on Indian law, the 1886 decision in US v. Kagama, withstands a challenge today. Only 2 JJ voted to hear it. SCt also refused to reconsider same-sex marriage precedent. Details at:

I feel silly publicizing a book in these times BUT my book describes how constitutional structures allowed the accumulation of generational wealth + rights for settlers and white people. These are the same advantages MAGA is trying to preserve today. Pre-order page:

Meanwhile, people unconstitutionally seized or brutalized by ICE agents can’t sue them because there’s no private right of action for them to do that.
Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.
