Fortunately, there are a few decent lawyers on faculty there. I like David Cole’s chances against Ed Martin bsky.app/profile/joshch…

This is wildly wrong and unconstitutional. The US Attorney in DC is trying to dictate the curriculum of a private religious college.

Ironically, the "common law judging approach" is actually what the people who wrote the Constitution thought judges were supposed to do. That orgininalism as a judicial methodology is itself anti-originalist drives me insane. reason.com/volokh/2024/06…

@ProfSamKamin Some solid amicus briefs though, so maybe that tempers the shame

@LeahLitman I particularly liked: “You’re saying that it was clear error … to credit those experts over your nothing!?”

#USWNT played their best game today, plenty good enough to win. Poor use of substitutes is worth criticizing but the catastrophizing of dim witted Fox analysts is wrong and exhausting. #StayUpWithUs

A reminder that Emmett Till would have turned 82 this summer. This is not ancient history. And yes: We should all learn about it.

Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman whose accusation set off the lynching of Emmett Till nearly 70 years ago, has died. She was 88. wjtv.com/news/state/wom…

Pickens County’s removal of @DrIbram and @JasonReynolds83 “Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You” from its school libraries is cowardly, thought-stifling political censorship. It also violates the First Amendment. aclusc.org/en/press-relea…

In celebration of National Library Week, we filed a lawsuit today challenging a school district’s removal of Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You. More to come soon #freedomtoread @ACLU_SC
