@scott_a_ross This is simply the “find out” behind Harper’s descriptive point about the “fuck around.” He was denied tenure because the president, Abbott’s former general counsel, intervened. So long as academy is so one sided, political intervention of this nature will happen.

Emily Wilson, whose translation of The Odyssey is itself unfaithful, critiques Christopher Nolan’s adaptation for emphasizing Odysseus’ “shame” over heroic “glory,” calling it a modern psychiatric revision of the character.

Also their hiring pool.

I read the memoir of the guy who founded Trader Joe’s and this demographic -- overly educated and underpaid -- is basically their core customer base

@dilanesper This kind of thing is a big part of IJ’s docket.

@geraldposner Netanyahu will be protected by US federal agents (DSS), and I’m sure they would run point on any sort of interaction with NYPD (notably, if NYPD tried to interfere with DSS, they would commit a federal felony).

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@CamdenHutchison There are obviously great left-liberal educators who break through their own lens and teach law descriptively and well. But of course adding more conservatives to legal faculties will improve legal education given what the courts and legislators look like.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@CamdenHutchison a largely liberal-left body teaching future lawyers how to enter a much more diverse profession (in terms of the writers of law and interpreters of it) through a liberal-left lens.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@Vermeullarmine The legal academy is the strangest version of this. A field whose faculty bears almost no resemblance to the judges and legislators whose work it purports to explain.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@kodkod87 @RefrmDemocracy I guess they just immediately hand him back to the DSS federal agents that are already with him and protecting him under federal law (though in actuality those DSS agents wouldn’t let NYPD touch him, and any attempts to interfere with DSS’ protection would be a federal crime).

@conor64 @AnodyneTweets I love how this Craig jackass is like “what are my politics bro?” to people calling him left wing here while he can’t articulate a single right-wing position that you or Tyler hold while calling y’all right wing grifters. Was an intellectual midget.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@dangainor @joelpollak There are numerous federal criminal statutes he would violate if he tried (whether he succeeds or fails). I don’t know if being a federal felon, and likely serving time in federal prison, is a win.

@howserob @Megankstack Just a last comment on this, and feel free to take the last word: I think the idea that issues of head of state/diplomatic immunity leave room for state criminal law to be read against preemption doesn’t really work. To the degree courts are practical, they’d see it’s unworkable.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@howserob @Megankstack Thanks for the engagement. I would just add that if federal law grants Netanyahu a right against arrest given his status, then state law can’t trump that right. Logically, then, state law could trump all sorts of federal rights and defenestrate section 241/242.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@howserob @Megankstack This is just basic supremacy clause. The feds view him as a TPP immune from arrest. State law enforcement cannot obstruct the feds in this fact pattern.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@howserob @Megankstack Used in voting deprivations, used against Trump before he was elected to second term, used by both Biden and Trump in FACE Act violations by private actors, the
Ehrlichman/Felt cases involve executive officials ordering seizures (similar to what would happen here.)

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@howserob @Megankstack Federal courts, especially SDNY, will move very quickly on the habeas petition if this happened. Like, a one day briefing schedule, release the next day, and CA2 would not issue a stay on appeal that prevents him from immediately leaving.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@howserob @Megankstack You really need to look into how federal prosecutors use 241/242.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@howserob @Megankstack This would be a deprivation of a right. If the arrest is unlawful (which it is because he’s protected against arrest by federal law as a TPP), then they’ve deprived him of a right.

[Armadillo Jackal @dillojackal]

@howserob @Megankstack Law and order isn’t real life, or an accurate representation of law, but whether federal agents yield or not, everyone who agreed (conspired) to the arrest would be criminally liable for interfering with the secret service’s protection.
