Randy Barnett, whom I once admired, has fully made the descent from provocateur to curmudgeonly asshole to Trump flack to unbalanced lunatic.

Two weeks after my @ouraring 1 year warranty expired, the thing has become worthless. Won’t sync, gives wildly inconsistent battery readings. Don’t buy this.

.@ishapiro spoke at my law school 2 yrs ago and wasn’t canceled. I went, listened, and concluded *he* has lived in echo chambers and has no ability to speak to anyone who isn’t predisposed to applaud sweeping overstatements and cherry-picked facts. open.substack.com/pub/ilyashapir…

Happy to see the faculty report I wrote quoted here, and happy to see the trustees emphasize the Chicago Principles "reaffirm the conditions that allow teaching, research and discovery to flourish.” news.iu.edu/live/news/4905…

Quoted in this story about a law school that withdrew an offer to a new dean because a few legislators who don't understand academic freedom disagreed with stances she's taken as a scholar. arkansasonline.com/news/2026/jan/…

It’s still reliably an overflowing MAGA toilet, so I don’t know what the problem might be.

@CelebrityCruise Why do you hate solo cruisers and give less desirable room options than if I'm booking for two?

@Uber_Support @Uber I need support on a payment issue and you make it impossible to send any message on the app. so I can explain what I need.

I have this op-ed in today's Indy Star. (I didn't write the headline and subheads, and they're hotter and more definitive than I intended the article to be.) indystar.com/story/opinion/…

Cases like this depend on facts found by a court, so it’s early, but right now I’d predict ⁦@BallState ⁦will get spanked. The precedent they relied on is not a good fit to this situation. ⁦@PresidentMearns⁩, a lawyer, should have known better. indystar.com/story/news/edu…

Quoted by Indy TV on whether you can lose your job if your private-sector employer doesn’t like your political speech. The answer is yes. 21alivenews.com/2025/09/17/iu-…

2/2 Ball State recites this rule, but it's not immediately clear why someone whose job was "health promotion" and who makes pointed comments about Kirk necessarily disrupts the university's business. The fact some people might be upset is not enough. indystar.com/story/news/edu…

1/2 Under the First Amendment, government employees are allowed to speak freely on public matters unless their employer can demonstrate that the speech significantly interferes with their ability to carry out their functions. indystar.com/story/news/edu…

.@IUMaurerLaw hosted a terrific conversation for Constitution Day between Brad Jacob of Regent U School of Law and Alan Trammell of Washington & Lee. It was a great example of @acslaw and @FedSoc chapters joining together to sponsor a program for the whole community.

There is no serious theory under federal law that would allow prosecution of the store or the employee. This looks like pure intimidation of people who will believe this sort of power exists. msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-…

Join us at @IUMaurerLaw tomorrow for this event honoring Constitution Day. If you can't make it, though, it will be livestreamed here (iu.zoom.us/j/87695274690) and will the recorded and archived on the law school's Youtube page.

Quoted by IU Newsnet about IU's free-speech ranking from FIRE. My brief comments (at 3:50) express caution about placing too much weight on a non-scientific ranking based on high-profile events and self reports. facebook.com/reel/367306613…
