Absolutely wild that there are folks out there (on this site, even) that, in the midst of this otherworldly shit show we're all experiencing, are still trying to justify not voting for Kamala because she campaigned with Liz Cheney.

Judge: Do you have any experience in the legal field?
Defendant: Just getting charged with stuff.

E-mail ping (that I was hoping was the University canceling afternoon classes) was from 10:10 professor confirming class being canceled and providing her plan going forward so that we don't fall behind.

Scalia, arguing in support of the death penalty for minors
Because I do not believe that the meaning of our 8th Amendment, any more than the meaning of other provisions of our Constitution, should be determined by the subjective views of 5 members of this Court and like-minded foreigners, I dissent

Looking forward to my very first Constitutional Law class in about 8 hours.
Just saw someone on Reddit say their Con Law professor described teaching the subject in the current environment like teaching ship building on the Titanic while the boiler room filled with water.
I felt that.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

"The term 'necessary' in the clause does not mean absolutely indispensable but rather convenient or useful."
I haven't even started my Constitutional Law class yet and I've already had more than enough of Chief Justice John Marshall.
It's absolute lunacy that we just accept this "interpretation."

"I once got TWO C minuses and it didn't matter.
Well... I don't have a job, but..."
Sir. 🤣☠️
I'm not necessarily looking for a job in the legal field, so I find this hilarious. Most of my fellow students, however, would not.

I have literal false memories of my Civil Procedure professor teaching service of process
He said, during the review, that we didn't cover that and...
... I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM
However, I have no notes on it

Civil Procedure outline is a thing of great beauty
Practically wrote itself b/c my notes were so good...because the course was TAUGHT so well
Also, finally figured out that "bifurcation" is Georgetown for "circuit split" and that makes a lot more sense now
Rule 42(b) need not apply to Rule 11 🤦♀️
