Rather than defend judges facing death threats, @ABAesq doubles down on "lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity." Which? Ones that require discrimination on the basis of race? I look forward to DOJ and DoE reviewing ABA/accreditation policies for illegal bias

Judges rushing to stop President Trump, DOGE, and the Treasury from running the executive, USDS, and Treasury should slow down--and likely stop. In the rush to grant relief they risk creating real administrative problems. (Beyond the major separation of powers issues.)
Coming around to the view that that TRO (read literally) was even more nuts than people originally suggested

@ProfNickStephan Professor Stephanopoulos, I know you are an opponent of partisan gerrymandering and in the past have weighed in in court with expertise highlighting problems with allegedly unfair maps. Have you filed an amicus re the efficiency gap or other measures of fairness in this case?

This weird order says that the President and Secretary of Treasury (among other political appointees at Treasury) cannot oversee other Treasury employees? I think the rush to act for some of these judges is getting in the way of basic common sense under our Constitution
SDNY judge purports to restrain even Cabinet officials from accessing Dept of Treasury information--perhaps he should re-read Article II of the Constitution, which this order violates in numerous ways @fedjudges @mrddmia

I know Georgetown takes a strong stance against speech and speakers that it disagrees with. So will Dean Treanor follow his own precedent and weigh in condemning bringing a convicted terrorist to campus? Or is such disgust only reserved for conservative law professors?

Don't sleep on the excellent writing from Barnett Harris here. Check out this young scholar's work exploring the fed courts jurisprudence of one of our nation's leading jurists (and greatest Americans)
I just submitted my article, "The Federal Courts Jurisprudence of Justice Clarence Thomas," which is in need of a good law review home. I explore the writings of Justice Thomas in several areas which make up federal courts/federal jurisdiction.

Heartened to see federal antidiscrimination law neutrally applied. I hope to see many other institutions of higher learning held accountable, too!
Wow! This judge in the Jewish students vs Cooper Union case is not holding back; CU's request for dismissal of the Title VI case was denied! READ THIS! "The Court is dismayed by Cooper Union’s suggestion that the Jewish students should have hidden upstairs or left the building, or that locking the library doors was enough to discharge its obligations under Title VI. These events took place in 2023—not 1943—and Title VI places responsibility on colleges and universities to protect their Jewish students from harassment, not on those students to hide themselves away in a proverbial attic or attempt to escape from a place they have a right to be. In sum, the physically threatening or humiliating conduct that the Complaint alleges Jewish students in the library experienced “is entirely outside the ambit of the free speech clause..."

Thank you General Rokita for standing on the front lines of law and order in supporting the Original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment
🚨We, along with 17 other states, are proud to have filed an amicus brief today in support of @realdonaldtrump's executive order regarding birthright citizenship. Removing the incentive for illegal aliens to give birth here will reduce illegal immigration and save our state a tremendous amount of money. Read the full brief here:
