I'm pleased to announce that my new book, "The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy," is now available for pre-order, in advance of publication in Feb 2025. Kind of timely, I'm thinking.

@nytimes Trump just pardoned himself. Actually, Blanche's letter is better than a pardon because it frees him of civil liability as well as criminal.

The racism of Mark Fuhrman, and the history of the LAPD, allowed OJ Simpson to claim that he was framed. (He wasn’t.)

So great to see an actual big newsstand full of newspapers and magazines. (Too bad I had to go to Madrid to find one.)

@nytimes Trump's choices for US Attorneys are MAGA loyalists, not prosecutors.

When and if James Comey goes to trial, his lawyer should call a local waiter as an expert witness. “86 the French toast” is not incitement to murder.

[Jeffrey Toobin @JeffreyToobin]

@nytimes You probably will not be surprised by the unqualified MAGA folks whom Trump has nominated to be US Attorneys . . . .

Trump had lots of good reasons to fire Bondi. He picked the one bad one. My take in @nytimes

Always risky to predict Supreme Court decisions based on oral argument (I have the t-shirt), but the birthright citizenship argument is going poorly for the Trump Administration.

Not only is my friend @JeffreyToobin a great legal analyst, but he's also a self-described “obsessive” golfer. And he writes about Golf. He has some thoughts on Tiger Woods’ serious legal problems.

@GolfDigest My take on the two legal paths ahead for Tiger Woods. It's different this time.

@SCOTUSblog Happy birthday to the legend! He covered the Warren Court! That's Earl Warren, not Warren Burger.

@Milbank I am rooting for you.

The capitulating law firms look worse than ever -- like fools. My @nytimes piece.

NEW and BREAKING:

In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court.

DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court.

A day ago, DOJ had a very different position.
