With acute awareness of the irony... check out this article by me and @nikenberger arguing Meta's new content moderation policy just proves Meta (and speech monopolies like it... looking at you X) need to be broken up-- https://t.co/RoyOgiFX0A

New Article alert! The End of Means-End Scrutiny, now on SSRN: https://t.co/TBSxIMBoj0

The Court is widely and discreetly abandoning means-end scrutiny, transforming rights and judicial review in the process. Feedback welcome! My two-week old editor says it's a must read :)

🔍 Do Anti-CRT laws violate the First Amendment? Professor @f_procaccini argues they might infringe on students' rights to receive information, which is crucial for democratic participation.

The brilliant Marc Kalani’s new short audio doc on death penalty mitigation work, a story about how humanity transcends, and seeing humans where the system sees monsters. Worth many listens

Absolutely true: whoever is mute about Congressional abdication should not complain about Supreme Court action. https://t.co/EEAPyD0jwS

Want to fix the Court? Start by fixing Congress.

@nikenberger and I wrote about how Congressional underreach enables Court overreach, and some ways to start tackling the problem.

Immeasurable thanks to the outstanding student editors and the many colleagues who improved the piece. Please give a read, share, and discuss! https://t.co/0hgmkCV4Bd

[Francesca Procaccini @f_procaccini]

Thrilled my article, Reconstructing State Republics, is out in @FordhamLRev! This piece was born of a deep concern with how undemocratic state practices are impeding national democratic governance—a problem that grew critical in the '20election and now threatens Congress’s agenda

[Fordham Law Review @FordhamLRev]

Today's national political dysfunction is rooted in states that are devolving into modern aristocracies, @f_procaccini writes in a new Article. Congress can—and should—use the reset button built into the Constitution: the Guarantee Clause. https://t.co/DlkFz27qiE

[MFIA Clinic @MFIAclinic]

“Murder on Middle Beach” on @HBO this week featured @MFIAclinic director @MFIADave, former fellow @f_procaccini, & students @jakevanleer & Sara Sampoli representing @madison_hamburg at a CT Freedom of Information Commission hearing. Proud to see the Clinic's hard work on TV!

[Women Also Know Law @womenknowlaw]

The Constitution guarantees that all states will have a republican form of government. But how is this enforced? Don’t miss Francesca Procaccini’s new article addressing this very question in @FordhamLRev! #Highlightwomen #WomenAlsoKnowLaw
