@EWess92 Your post comes awfully close to impugning the integrity of Judge Wynn and the Judiciary.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@EWess92 Columbians?

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@PitBottomSuper It would also make gerrymandering state legislatures even worse.

The immediate flips off the top of my head:

R: AZ (2x) GA (2x) MI (2x) NH (2x) WI

D: ME

@BenevolusLeland Oh my god I’ve been spelling it wrong for six months. I’m going to go do whatever the academic equivalent of seppuku is.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@BenevolusLeland Loper-Bright rejects deference but doesn’t actually reject any of the premises that lead to deference. And empirically, agencies have won as much post loper-bright as before. My thesis should be published soon and I very much look forward to sharing.

@PitBottomSuper @DividedArgument 5-4 is also fun. It’s like if Strict Scrutiny cared about the law.

@mike_frags I say this as a 21 year old nobody, but each Justice deserves a mountain of respect and it is embarrassing to see Justices Thomas, Alito, Sotomayor, and Jackson treated as lackeys and caricatures.

@jjh_esq @dilanesper The problem is not recognizing the President’s unique role, it is using that premise to create entirely new privileges nowhere stated in the text.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@BobbyBorkIII 🫡

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@jjh_esq @dilanesper Which has been read to mean a wide variety of things other than what the text says.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@jimmy_esq Substantive due process?

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@EWess92 We should not close the courthouse doors to those most at risk of abuse by the state.

@HabCorpLinguist Don’t make Will Baude sad. Read Crosskey.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

It feels like every day I see a new story about rising median LSAT scores. I can’t prove it, but I think that is directly correlated with my blood pressure.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@HabCorpLinguist You should be doing more to keep the Senate.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@ClarenceMaximus I have nothing substantive to add to 4A scholarship so this is the best I can do.

Well other than the exclusionary rule being derived from Article III but I digress.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

Kyllo Ren

[Clarence Maximus @ClarenceMaximus]

@M_Resanovic @Vedthalegend @Opus_Kagan Idk if Kyllo was wrong on the outcome but I definitely think the rule it laid down was too broad.

[Opus Kagan @Opus_Kagan]

@ClarenceMaximus Actually, everything I could think of was bad but not unconstitutional! Flock makes it easier for the government to generate lists of enemies, but the misuse of that data is the real problem.
