    My annual letter of recommendation tweet: Do not feel bad asking professors for letters. 1) It's our job. We are not doing you a favor. 2) How do you think we got our jobs? We've asked for many letters. It's the Circle of Life. Don't sweat it, just give your writers enough time.

    Not enough people know: NYC is now offering *free, same-day home delivery* of paxlovid (new, effective anti-viral pill). If you test pos, especially if you're hi-risk, ask your doc about this treatment. If you don't have a doc call 212-COVID19. And for now we have good supply.

    “Time,” writes, “is the tribute a court pays to diversity. It’s an acknowledgement that five elite lawyers can never — and should never — be too sure that their vision of the law is right, and others wrong.”

    When the Supreme Court “fires shots across the bow instead of straight at the hull, it gives ‘We the People’ a chance to respond through politics, the ultimate recourse of a self-governing people,” writes.

    Corey Booker is making me tear up, and I'm super cynical.

    The Article III question is whether the person was subject to a sex classification. This does not depend on how they define their gender.

    "If I decide right now that I'm a woman, then apparently, I'm a woman. Does that mean that I would have Article III standing to challenge a gender-based restriction?" . repeatedly pressed Judge Jackson on the court's standards for race and gender discrimination.

    The thing that I can never get over about modern-day confirmation hearings is that we have an ENTIRE DAY of members giving speeches followed by a brief statement by the nominee, and then the day ends, all before anyone has asked a question of anyone.

    America’s free speech problem.

    Ever see a one-minute committee meeting? Alabama House State Gov’t Committee passes anti-CRT bill without allowing Black lawmakers to speak.

    This is madness.

    Late to an important doctor’s appointment because of a trucker convoy protest in NE DC. Driver said he would only let me by if I swore to him that my appointment wasn’t for an abortion.

    Still got it!

    I distinctly remember the weird feeling of being older than a pro athlete when Kobe Bryant entered the league. With Tom Brady's retirement, I cross the other threshold. Kind of poignant as I think back on how young I felt in locker rooms as a very junior reporter. Time flies.

    I feel like Shelby County might need to be revisited under the Independent Congress doctrine.

    Yes. I'm skeptical of much of the "campus cancel culture" narrative, I don't think "self-censorship" is per se bad (it depends on what's being censored!), and I don't agree with everything this student says, but if students feel this way, we should listen to them, not taunt them.

    Just read this article. I think as educators we should strive to create an environment where students feel free to express their views and explore ideas and also make mistakes. It’s not good if in discussions students are preoccupied with being judged.

    Whether courts of appeals have supervisory powers to promulgate district court procedural rules is not a question the text of Article III has anything whatsoever to say about.

    Anyone who wants Judge Jackson to show her papers can just get a Westlaw account and read her 500+ judicial opinions.

    Getting sickening déjà vu of the feeling two years ago when everything felt very far away and then, all of a sudden, it wasn't.

    This Question Presented is *way* too broad for this case (lower ct op here: ) and encourages us to line up on one side or the other of a broader culture war rather than focusing on its particular facts and the specific claims each side is making.

    NEW: The Supreme Court agrees to decide “whether applying a public-accommodation law to compel an artist to speak or stay silent violates the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment.”

    Your occasional reminder that engagement on here is not a good proxy for how widely held a view is, and indeed may be closer to the opposite.

    Another opportunity to push “unconstitutional but not void” as a remedial option.

    The Catholic Church said baptisms performed by a priest who served in Arizona for 16 years are now presumed to be invalid because he used incorrect wording on a subtle but key component of the sacrament. It’s unknown how many baptisms were affected.
