The most hilarious thing about the entire Bruen project is that arming literally everyone is so unpalatable to the Supreme Court that we're going to wind up right back at intermediate scrutiny.

It’s actually not part of your civic duty to watch a decrepit imbecile rant about his made-up personal grievances for two hours, y’all just hate yourselves.

If Justice Kagan ever thinks so little of your argument that she only deigns to respond in a footnote…gird your loins.

For the Cook County folks!

So I love that Bad Bunny will piss off all the right people, but I’m also very glad for the reminder, in these bullshit times, that the United States does not define what it means to be American.

I had a Chilean professor for one of my Spanish-language literature courses in college and he always told us that, when traveling in the Americas, we should never say “soy Americano/a” (I’m American) because so is the person we’re talking to. And it would be disrespectful to act like the US=America.

Football is a fall sport and should be over before Christmas I need you all to shut all the way up.

One of my favorite things about never having been in private practice is that I’ve never had to learn what Super Lawyers are.

Faithfully applying Bruen, Rahimi should have won and Hawaii should lose. But that fact only proves Bruen’s incoherence as a methodology.

Disappointed this is a solo dissent, but judicial economy is a hell of a drug.

What a day #appellateplaces

Distilling 170 pages of briefing down to an oral argument outline is NOT IT y’all!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I just mooted some students for this problem and it was so distracting. I don’t mind using a fictional universe to harvest *names* for fact patterns (the one for my current class uses names from Buffy). But *nothing else* about the facts has anything to do with that fictional universe.

Ok I now like one (1) thing about New York City! Y’all still put your trash on the sidewalk, though…grow up.

Learning how to file something in a court where you never file anything is NOT IT

The problem for the Justice Kagans of the world, who see a case like Chiles as presenting interesting and nuanced speech issues, is that you cannot have a reasonable argument about those issues with people who are as disdainful of sexual and gender minorities as Sam Alito and Amy Barrett.

I think it’s finally time for me to delete social media because I’m all out of non-actionable things to say about this administration and its supporters.

That would explain it! Thanks!

This might be a dumb question, and it might backfire anyway, but why don’t the liberal justices stop referring applications to the full court when they have the choice?

Charli didn’t bully her hard enough

Got to argue in the historic Fifth District of the Illinois Appellate Court today. Abraham Lincoln once argued here when it was one of the Illinois Supreme Court’s courthouses! #AppellatePlaces

My parents know I don’t answer my phone what on earth makes them think I’m picking up a FaceTime call be so for real

Lol yeah, as if I’m actually going to be able to focus on oral argument prep while the Temu Gestapo runs around Chicago

Bruen is a monstrosity, but accepting it as the law, Clarence Thomas is the only judge in the country to faithfully and correctly apply it.

Every state employee travel form should have a box to check that’s just “willing to accept absolute bare minimum reimbursements just please for the love of god let me travel how I want and stay where I want.”
