Justice Kagan’s remarks last week at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Conference—excellent, thoughtful teaching about law, the Supreme Court, and judging. @CSPAN c-span.org/video/?537234-…

Lots to dislike in Bruen, but one of the biggest problems is requiring lower courts to conduct historical inquiries without any direction on how to do so. In Bruen, the Court cobbled together the supposedly relevant history from statements in the parties’ and the amici’s briefs.

What I am reading: Grey Bees by Ukrainian author @AKurkov, translated by @BorisDralyuk, and published by @DeepVellum. Also, Soul City by @HealyProf, a selection in the @NCHumanities state wide readalong.

@worstedskeins @AKurkov Agreed. As is the jacket design of Soul City by @jasonramirez!

And to give credit...Cover art on @AKurkov's book by Emily Mahon. Stunning.

Are free speech and racial equality at odds with one another? I explore that question in my review of a new book on the subject. (Short answer: No, but that doesn't mean we can't modify First Amendment doctrine to more fully realize the goal of racial equality.)
