Just in time for election day, the third part in my series on third party candidates and why they might just get some votes.

Not so.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

This is disgusting. Very sorry this happened to ⁦@PeteButtigieg⁩ and his family. https://t.co/276KvdXWvo

Thomas is kind of right; but precedent aside, it’s just a little *too* crazy to think that there is no equal protection principle applicable to the federal government.

Blunt’s character doesn’t read as a “girlboss type” at all. She and her male partner are embodiments of competence bound by rules and ethics, being used by the lawless.

She and her male partner are neutralized and discarded when it suits, each as easily as the other.

Horrible stuff out of Venezuela, they need to be in our prayers but we also need to be there as soon as possible to support them in their rescue efforts, and in their rebuilding efforts. We have our own problems sure, but laying claim as regional hegemon comes with duties and this is an excellent opportunity to show that we take those duties seriously

Ken White needs to take a step back and think about how a lawyer should conduct himself in the public discourse. Because he used to understand this (and contributed a lot).

Hell hath no fury like rich kids with useless degrees.

[Dilan Esper @dilanesper]

the thing is, this is completely made up.

The Constitution imports the British common law system, including the judicial power to recognize causes of action. It nowhere says courts may not do this.

Justice Powell, a former corporate lawyer, made up this doctrine.

If you are emergency printing before a hearing, you have to pretend to be as calm as possible or the printer will 100% dream up previously inconceivable ways to fuck you

[Dilan Esper @dilanesper]

FWIW, my favorite piece of Con Law pedantry is that the clause referencing privileges/immunities that everyone argues about in the 14th Amendment is the "Privileges OR Immunities" clause, not "and".

If you get served with a complaint, don’t contact your attorney right away. Wait until a few days before the answer is due. Lawyers need excitement, and a short deadline is an exciting surprise gift!! Follow me for more hacks

Today is the feast day of St Thomas More, the patron saint of politicians and civil servants, and the only MP to have been made a saint

If the Court is going to nix the Bivens cause of action because it wants to be faithful to what Congress has specifically provided for, it should also end qualified immunity and be faithful to what Congress has specifically provided for in Section 1983.
