Peep this footnote on p10-11! "any rooting around for original public meaning from that era would yield a myopic white male perspective on an issue of greatest salience to women, including women of color; certainly that is not what constitutional interpretation of any legitimate stripe ought to do"

I was full-time contract faculty at a law school. I applied for a tenure track position. The head of the hiring committee never even responded to my application. Same guy hasn't published a single piece of scholarship in almost 20 years. He's the first to talk about declining standards.

I genuinely don’t care about Chapelle Roan endorsing or not. I think it would help if she endorsed, but her modelling the kind of voting pragmatism we want to see in young people is actually good. You SHOULDN’T be too wildly into any politician! They will pretty much always disappoint you!

Student mobilization around Gaza was countered by (a) large donor mobilization against the students and (b) targeted congressional hearings. The modern American university system, after decades of defunding higher ed, is MUCH more attuned to the will of Bill Ackman et al than of the student body.

We criminal defense lawyers may be less offended about appealing to conservatives because we already do that so often for our clients. We need to be able to speak Conservative to help our clients.

It's really good. My wife and I started it three times before we stuck with it. We really enjoyed it when we did.
