@tonyecareyjr @PittPolSci @PittTweet Congratulations, Tony!

The word you should be looking for is: impeachment.

[ProPublica @propublica]

For over 20 years, Thomas accepted luxury trips virtually every year from billionaire GOP donor Harlan Crow without disclosing them; experts say the justice violated federal law.

What do these revelations mean for the Supreme Court? RSVP: https://t.co/Ky81cziWls

@mwyarbrough Yikes… that’s bad.

@CamSilverPhD You speak only truth here

@ChrisStapleton just pulled a Whitney (e.g., awesome national anthem at the #SuperBowl2023 ).

@BeStone_ABD @RhodesCollege @AlysonCole18 Congratulations! What awesome news!

[Maxwell Mak @NotARealDrMak]

@TheCLBoyd That sounds like a whole lot of work. I’m just the ideas guy. Lol

[Maxwell Mak @NotARealDrMak]

Hey @TheCLBoyd, I know you’re going to do a great job. But, if you want to increase attendance, you should revisit my suggestion that coauthors must do an egg toss while presenting their paper. Or, they must play pickle ball against the other panelists. #APSA #JustAThought

[Maxwell Mak @NotARealDrMak]

It’s painful to see a Supreme Court Justice try to mock a colleague by coming up with an incoherent hypothetical. It really goes to show you how well prepared lawyers have to be to deal with the the random meanderings of the supposed brightest legal minds in the country.

[The Recount @therecount]

Justice Alito jokes with Justice Kagan that, "You do see a lot of Black children in Ku Klux Klan outfits all the time," during oral arguments in a free speech case.

[Maxwell Mak @NotARealDrMak]

For those of you keeping track of who the leak was, you’ve taken the lead if you guessed it was Alito. I don’t think he meant if for mass consumption, but the article does lend support to theories he flaunted his opinion and they decided to share it as a victory lap. #SCOTUS

[Maxwell Mak @NotARealDrMak]

I have no words for the things I’ve read in this article. The legitimacy of SCOTUS depends upon the appearance of propriety and unbiased decision-making. Obviously, that has eroded in recent years, but this confirms exactly what we all know to be true. https://t.co/TzWm5nK4pL

Post-presidency campaign trail Obama has been and always will be my spirit animal. It almost makes you wish for elections to be more frequent… almost.

Me coming back to the department after my term on Faculty Senate.

@sjbasinger While true, it does not negate the ball boy experience of trying to pretend I never tripped and slammed into a wall the first time we worked together. Lol

[Maxwell Mak @NotARealDrMak]

I’ve been asked a couple of times this week what it’s like in graduate school and learning how to publish. This sums up the entire process working with @sjbasinger for the first time. Lol #firstgen #gradschool #itdoesntgetbetter

@sjbasinger @ProfSidman Live footage of @sjbasinger in his methods course.

[Maxwell Mak @NotARealDrMak]

@ProfSidman, if you ever teach again, I found your teaching aid to explain linear relationships. You’re welcome.
