@LBarry15 Oh wow - congrats! That’s awesome.

Let’s put Bannon aside and ask why contempt of congress only results in a 30-day sentence? https://t.co/kXNEyebuIA

Asking people with a “choose adoption” sign if they chose to adopt.

Kavanaugh and others said in their hearings that they considered Roe to be settled precedent. That testimony was under oath. Such a weird system we have.

Also Exhibit A why it’s a good idea not to.

The Illinois game is Example A of why Beaver Stadium may never sell alcohol

[David Gaines @dsgaines]

The 14th Amendment states that no person can hold office and engage in insurrection or give aid or comfort to such people. Mastriano went through the barriers on Jan. 6. Seems like a clear case? https://t.co/V46aRvqLW1

To review: Accepting donations while agreeing to generally help someone is lawful. Accepting donations while agreeing to specifically help someone is unlawful.

Lots of talk about shadow dockets on the federal level. It’s also growing bad at the state level. These rulings without opinions or briefs are more common and generally puzzling. https://t.co/OBC1FKFV9a

Throwing in the towel already??!!

Win or lose tonight, I’m proud to be a Tar Heel and grateful for the run and memories this team and Coach Davis have given us. #GDTBATH

@GeoffRushton I agree, sir, but also, that is rookie season compared to some surrounding communities!

[David Gaines @dsgaines]

This is the absolute craziest jury note. In textbooks next year. Laughing but also feeling bad for everyone involved. "S-O-S"

Really fascinating case with huge implications and virtually no media coverage. Appearing possible that ADA requires mask mandate for students w/ disabilities.

It’s another sign of things spiraling out of control. Remember when justices all respected each other despite ideological differences?

January municipal meetings are the best, and it felt weird to miss them last week due to being sick. Was happy to return in Huntington tonight.

To be clear: This is my former prof, and I like him (and did fine), but still, 100% all of law school is this conversation.

[David Gaines @dsgaines]

Law school in one short essay. Professor saying grades are super duper important but don’t worry if you don’t outperform, sure there’s a job for you down the line somewhere after this life-defining and financially suicidal experience.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Our first-year @UTexasLaw students got their first-semester grades on Friday.

Earlier in the semester, I had sent my Constitutional Law students a fairly long note about the importance (and unimportance) of grades.

I thought I’d share it here, in case it’s helpful to others:

The real pro is helping bring this together nicely.
