Another government lawyer in DC

[Andrew Ferguson @epiktistes]

ok made it to wifi for "an honest town hall," the meeting of faculty, students, staff & community members present at the UVA liberated zone 4 gaza protest, from its establishment to its demolition by the university aided by state and local police. ground rules now then speakers

[Megan Stevenson @MeganTStevenson]

I signed this letter. Responding to a teeny tiny quiet protest by calling in riot cops, spraying tear gas, and training sniper rifles on the students is a terrifying escalation. I want answers on how these decisions were made.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

With the April 19 sunset of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act approaching, I'm announcing a bipartisan compromise bill that protects Americans from foreign threats and from warrantless government surveillance. WATCH: https://t.co/3ELLO7O7YN

[Noah Chauvin @NoahChauvin]

🚨@SenatorDurbin is speaking on the Senate floor now announcing the SAFE Act, a bipartisan bill to reform and reauthorize FISA Section 702.

Follow along here for key points from his speech.

For my institutionalist friends, is there any explanation for why they would schedule this last, besides giving the GOP a partisan advantage? Genuinely asking!

[Steven Mazie @stevenmazie]

JUST IN: SCOTUS schedules Trump immunity oral argument for April 25—the last day of hearings this term

[Josh Chafetz @joshchafetz]

Pretty amazing upside-downworld stuff: when Congress *actually* tries to legislate under sec. 5 (or it's 13th or 15th Amendment counterparts), the justices strike it down. Sec. 5 is only usable as a cudgel against other institutions when Congress is silent, apparently.

Look what came in the mail today! Thousands of hours of my life wrapped up in these two books… 🥹

Okay I know I’m late, but I can’t believe I haven’t seen Jenna’s turtle monologue yet:

“It’s a turtle, Jenna”

[Scott Chamberlain @LegalScottyC]

Virginia Law Review also does not receive credit (we tried! A committee was convened! We were told it would not be feasible)

[Cornell Law Review @Cornell_L_Rev]

We, as well as many journals at other schools, do not even receive academic credit.

[Anthony Michael Kreis, FRHistS @AnthonyMKreis]

I am truly shocked by this. This is fundamentally wrong and needs to be remedied by law faculties.

[Stanford Law Review @StanLRev]

The Stanford Law Review has joined a nationwide coalition of law reviews advocating for compensation for our labor. We encourage other law reviews to join.

[Scott Chamberlain @LegalScottyC]

As it should be! Law review managing positions are full time jobs

[Scott Chamberlain @LegalScottyC]

@martinmatishak @TheRecord_Media Do you have access to the legislative text? I don’t see it as introduced on https://t.co/NViJJagnn6, or on either of the Senators’ socials

[Benjamin Fischer @dickens432]

I see a fair amount of law professors tweeting about the most recent Harvard Law Review contretemps. However, law professors could solve such problems by not relying on publication in student law reviews as evidence for tenure, and instead solve the problem themselves.

[Scott Chamberlain @LegalScottyC]

Anyway, I passed the Bar today

The seventh circle of hell is trying to change into a suit in a public bathroom stall that also contains a motion-activated toilet

[Scott Chamberlain @LegalScottyC]

The “anytime between now and November 3rd” timeline is way worse than just telling us they’ll release Nov 3rd

[Scott Chamberlain @LegalScottyC]

I am BEGGING DC to put us out of our misery at this point
