In “Judicial Regrets,” I examine how judges come to regret their rulings—particularly those impacting marginalized groups—and how the legal system should respond. 👩🏽⚖️⚖️

In “The Law of Racial Resentment,” I critique how SCOTUS validated racial resentment in SFFA v. Harvard and argue we need stronger legal/structural responses to counter resentment—not appease it.

Over public dissents by Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, #SCOTUS freezes Eighth Circuit ruling that had barred private enforcement of section 2 of the Voting Rights Act while the plaintiffs appeal that decision. Private suits to enforce § 2 of the VRA can go ahead for now.

Important to read this decision in the context of longer-term efforts by SCOTUS to chip away at private enforcement of civil rights & social welfare laws. I'll put a bunch of relevant background reading in the thread 🧵:
In her furious dissent, Jackson writes of the Supreme Court's decision: "The project of stymying one of the country’s great civil rights laws continues." She likens today's ruling to notorious decisions after the Civil War cutting back civil rights statutes. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
