yeah, it's just bloviating and histrionics. What you'd expect from a buffoon or crybaby dictator. Of course, in this case, we're dealing with both.

It is frighteningly Orwellian to see these power zealots commandeer a term - “viewpoint diversity - that originated as a substantive LIMIT on government power to enter the speech domain at all. And this isn’t government speech or public forums; it’s new and brazen.

@mikedorf.bsky.social How would you categorize the Justices at this point?
Liberal - Soto, Jackson, Kagan
"Swing" (whatever that means with this court) - Barrett?, TBD
Hard Right - Alito, Thomas, TBD

Two things:
1. Ready to enter Cornell to take your Federal Courts class, per your piece. :)
2. Is it me, or is this item actually a pleasure, because it's sort of a "normal" consideration - vs the ongoing arson happening everywhere else?

And of course, originally somehow "another" = "same" (11th amendment)
Imagine this convo with a little kid:
"Bring me ANOTHER toy.."
Kid just sits there with the same toy.
"I said ANOTHER one..."

Related, I've never understood how / why most originalists just ignore the 9th Amendment. That's like a student taking an exam saying, "yeah, that one is too hard - I'll just leave it blank." If it's because it's vague, that itself is a sign the framers were infusing the con with non-originalism.

When are Democrats going to have a daily news conference to go on offense? Mayor Pete is perfect for that role. I’m getting tired of the inaction on this front.

Two things:
1. The anti-DEI movement is intended to make people question the legitimacy of any Black person they see in a skill position. A factory reset to White as the default setting for merit.
2. Trump’s team is the most unqualified in history. So merit obviously isn’t the real intent.

A little bit related, is the “background circumstances” standard at issue today at the SCOTUS a judicial construction, or something explicitly in various statutes?

Had the letter actually specified rules around classroom instruction, could that be challenged on First Amendment grounds? Since this traces to an actual funding threat, I can’t imagine that would be mere government speech, right?

Trump’s team explicitly leaving out the Fed here is actually just a form of projection. He is actually signaling / saying that he intends to include it at some point.

I remember when you wrote about Bush's "Justice Department's Eight" or whatever you called them. Another earlier example of this Unitary Executive dynamic. Now Trump is running rampant with it.

I remember when some of W's signing statements implied an Executive Branch right to ignore court orders. Do you think they were the seeds for Trump's extreme actions? Or was the W stuff a different kind of thing? Seems like it all might be one spectrum on the Right.

Awesome! We just need to get the party’s attention to make it a thing! Thanks for bringing it up in that forum! Honestly, this is the first idea that has really popped for me since Nov.

IMO, this is a way to come over the top of everything and go on full offense. Pushing press clips everywhere, including X.
And when X bans it, that itself will become a presser topic. I guess the snowflakes hate free speech after all. :-)

Major outlets will cover it, which comes with the added benefit of pissing Trump off.

@espinsegall.bsky.social really good post! I never thought that deeply about it, but looking back, Bush v Gore made me wonder if something was up. Turns out it was probably just Exhibit A for Prof Segall's "truth."
