Great visit to Charlottesville reminded me that I’ve been meaning to check out ⁦@CommonLawUVA, new podcast hosted by⁩ ⁦@lckendrick⁩ & ⁦@RisaGoluboff⁩, & it is unsurprisingly brilliant & delightful https://t.co/5GbjlcjXQv

[Strict Scrutiny Podcast @StrictScrutiny_]

Hey @StrictScrutiny_ fans, here's another podcast to add to the rotation! (featuring two awesome lady law profs & deans, @RisaGoluboff & @lckendrick)

[CSPAN @cspan]

Rep. Cummings: Those in the highest levels of the government must stop invoking fear, using racist language and encouraging reprehensible behavior. It only creates more division among us and severely limits our ability to work together for the common good.

[Elijah E. Cummings @RepCummings]

I'm begging the American people to pay attention to what is going on. Because if you want to have a democracy intact for your children, and your children's children, and generations yet unborn we've got to guard this moment…this is our watch.

[Vanita Gupta @vanitaguptaCR]

This is just such sad news. ⁦@RepCummings⁩ was a force to be reckoned with. This is a huge loss for Baltimore, Maryland, and the nation. https://t.co/mw5z4ssbBL

Like our very own legal Wizard of Oz (but kinder, and as far as we know, real), @Blackstarjus beams in for our Supreme Court term preview today, starring Prof. Hansford, D.C. Solicitor General Loren AliKhan, and UVA Law’s Prof. Kim Forde-Mazrui!!

The Roberts court is already overturning precedents without consensus. https://t.co/HcD0szCnfT

[ACS at UVA @ACSatUVA]

Prof. Sally Hudson, who is also a candidate for delegate, says she will fight "tooth and nail" to keep transparency provisions in redistricting perform so that "nerds" can monitor the drawing of districts.

[ACS at UVA @ACSatUVA]

Ria Thompson-Washington, Senior National Coordinator in the Voting Rights Project at the Lawyer’s Committee, argues against OneVirginia2021’s redistricting proposal on representational grounds, saying it would simply mimic the Virginia General Assembly

[ACS at UVA @ACSatUVA]

Prof. Michael Gilbert acknowledges the logistical difficulties of coordinating redistricting reform across states, given that the federal government has almost no constitutional authority over states' legislative districts.
