@EWess92 This isn't meant as a gotcha! Rather, given the immediate historical context, I am _sure_ that this issue was raised and perhaps conclusively addressed already, either in the past or today.

@EWess92 But then, doesn't that, at a certain level of abstraction, describe the immediate and near-immediate descendants of those kidnapped and brought here in the slave trade? But surely those folks aren't denied birthright citizenship?

🔥HOT OFF THE PRESSES! Federal Second Circuit Judge Menashi writes: "[T]he government presented credible legal authorities to support its view that the qualifying language of the Citizenship Clause—'subject to the jurisdiction thereof'—reflects...

The final version of my birthright citizenship article is now out @HarvardJLPP, along with articles from Keith Whittington and Gerard Magliocca. The most interesting development is the introductory essay by Judge Steven Menashi of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. His essay states, among other things, "Despite what some commentators have suggested, the Supreme Court has yet to address whether the Citizenship Clause extends citizenship by birth to children of parents illegally or temporarily in the country." He also says, "We have long known that the Fourteenth Amendment does not confer birthright citizenship on the children of diplomats, foreign soldiers, or American Indians. These categories show that the status of a child follows that of the parents. But the Citizenship Clause does not reference these categories of parental status. The exclusion results from the application of a broader principle." He concludes, "the detailed consideration of the contributors to this Issue provides a solid foundation on which the debate can proceed." I think it's quite important that a Second Circuit judge recognizes the existence, nuance, and significance of the ongoing debate over these questions.

@aliciaandrz But I love sentences starting with coordinating conjunctions, perhaps especially in formal, precise writing! And, at least if we trust it, ChatGPT approves!

brought to you by me slapping an A on an interesting & distinct paper full of sentences that started with coordinating conjunctions, otherwise known as stylistic fragments. ChatGPT could never.
English
as an English professor, I’d go as far to say these days I’m excited to see typos & fragments & run on sentences & page-long paragraphs & awkward word choices & any imperfection that suggests a human being sat down to do the very hard thing of writing a college paper.

@messina_jp Many of the responses tacitly suggest that rising GPAs is a modern phenomenon. Looking at the chart, GPAs have been rising since _WWI_. Let's go, Brandon!!

influx of genius, for sure

How do people who think there’s a problem with education explain the fact that GPAs are rising?

@DaveKilloran I'm curious whether this means that students who 'predict' admissions chances will be overly optimistic, if they measure against prior years' LSAT 25/75s?
English
The new LSAT without Logic Games is top-loading scores at an alarming rate.
The following graph shows the percent increase in each scoring range compared to last year. The black line is the overall increase in applicants (20.3%):

@BenjiLTheory The Camden Jurisprudence Group read this paper just a few weeks ago (with Dennis right here in house!). I also thought that their reconstruction of the debate was very clear and helpful!

I'm excited to dig in!

@TheRigLib @alex_orlov_ @MushtaqBilalPhD Except he didn’t say that either. I haven’t read this thesis, but the wild misreadings of the abstract, of Marx, even of this modest defense are amazing.

Dr. Ally Louks's PhD thesis is set to be one of the most influential theses of 21st century. Puts forward an original argument with remarkable clarity.
Already has 85M+ views on X/Twitter.
Most people criticizing her don't understand her argument at all.
I have a PhD in literary studies, and in this thread, we'll do a close reading of her abstract to understand her argument in simple English.
