@ilan_wurman @kewhittington Gerard Magliocca contends that while Profs. Wurman and Whittington disagree on the Citizenship Clause, they must agree that children born to Roma parents are citizens, thus showing the irrelevance of parental status. Read the full Article here: https://t.co/n9XFYcEMkL

Charlie Kirk tried to win hearts and minds through open debate with all comers; his enemies found it intolerable and assassinated him. One reaction, a bad reaction, is private violence, which is unjust except in defined cases, such as immediate self-defense and defense of others. The third way, however, is the unflinching use of public authority to identify and defeat the enemies of public peace and order by all just and lawful means.

We're told "separation of church and state" is real.

But that's a lie—and a very damaging one.

Post-Dobbs, the conservative legal movement must hone in on a new goal: Overturn Everson.

"DOBBS AND THE ORIGINALISTS"
This paper explains the Dobbs decision, its overturning of Roe, and its use of "history and tradition" on originalist grounds. Many thanks to the @HarvardJLPP editors! Link below in thread; here's the abstract:

[Notre Dame Law School @NDLaw]

Delighted to have this guest post today @thenewdigest by Harvard Law alum Jack Kieffaber — a striking thought experiment on the consequences for textualism of “https://t.co/Fwkw2FkOgc.” (Spoiler: it puts the textualist faith to a severe test).

Enjoy!

Very interesting and provocative article out today by Jack Kieffaber (forthcoming in @HarvardJLPP). “PREDICTABILITY, AI, AND JUDICIAL FUTURISM: WHY ROBOTS WILL RUN THE LAW AND TEXTUALISTS WILL LIKE IT”

If textualism is done best by robots, what is the comparative advantage of a human judge? Will we automate away Article III?
