Today's dangerous Supreme Court decision ignoring the real harms of conversion "therapy," insultingly issued on Transgender Day of Visibility, is another example of the Roberts Court distorting the 1st Amendment. Read more: www.theusconstitution.org/news/cac-rel...
J. Jackson minces no words in her dissent in today's conversion therapy case: "It is baffling that we could now be standing on the edge of a precipitous drop in the quality of healthcare services in America. But the Court sees fit to bring us one step closer to that fate today."
More from J. Jackson on what today's #SCOTUS decision could mean: "So, to put it bluntly, the Court could be ushering in an era of unprofessional and unsafe medical care administered by effectively unsupervised healthcare providers."
Powerful words from J. Jackson in today's #SCOTUS conversion therapy case: "Before now, licensed medical professionals had to adhere to standards when treating patients ... Today, the Court turns its back on that tradition. And,
to be completely frank, no one knows what will happen now."
Voting by mail has been an important part of our democracy since the Civil War, but the ability to vote by mail is under attack at #SCOTUS today. Read more from @davidhgans.bsky.social: slate.com/news-and-pol...

My latest @Slate on the huge upcoming S. Ct case attacking voting by mail. The legal challenge butchers the text of federal law and turns a blind eye to the long history, dating back to the Civil War, of states permitting post-Election Day receipt of absentee ballots.

Thank you to @myconstitution.bsky.social for submitting an amicus brief in our SCOTUS case, Noem v. AOL. The fact is asylum saves lives and we're grateful for the support in upholding the human right to safety.
This important new scholarship from my @myconstitution.bsky.social colleague @davidhgans.bsky.social has the added bonus of also being incredibly interesting. It's definitely a must-read!
At argument in the big independent agency case, there was a "shocking lack of interest in the Constitution’s history and original meaning by the court’s conservative supermajority." Read more in @slate.com from my @myconstitution.bsky.social colleague Brian Frazelle: slate.com/news-and-pol...
The Trump administration's arguments that the federalization of the National Guard can't be reviewed by the courts are just plain wrong. Read more about our amicus briefs setting the record straight from @stevevladeck.bsky.social: www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-183-...

"In a few weeks’ time—when we turn to our regular docket—we will decide cases of far less import with far more process and reflection." - Kagan, J., dissenting from the latest #SCOTUS shadow docket decision www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
President Trump's repeated attempts to usurp Congress's power of the purse are plainly unconsitutional, as constitutional text and history make clear. Read @myconstitution.bsky.social's amicus brief to learn more about this history & why Trump's actions violate the separation of powers. 2/2
"In 'defining the ... powers' of the new nation, the American Founders firmly rejected the historic 'Prerogatives of the British Monarch.' ... [T]here was no question that Congress would be granted the powers to tax, spend, and appropriate funds." 1/2
A characteristically very thoughtful post about one of the many reasons why recent #SCOTUS shadow docket rulings are so deeply troubling -- well worth a read!
I'd really been enjoying the new season of @onlymurdershulu.bsky.social, but I like free speech a lot more. @jimmykimmel.com
Today is Constitution Day and Citizenship Day! This year, both the Constitution and core concepts of citizenship are under attack, and they deserve our attention and protection more than ever. Read more from CAC’s Praveen Fernandes in @acslaw.bsky.social: www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

In a win for voting rights, the Fifth Circuit just upheld the constitutionality of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and held that Louisiana’s legislative maps diluted the voting strength of Black voters. Read our amicus brief: www.theusconstitution.org/litigation/n...
The amicus brief we filed in the case does a deep dive into the history Justice Jackson discusses in her dissent. Read it here: www.theusconstitution.org/litigation/a...
It's deeply disappointing that #SCOTUS is staying an injunction blocking Trump's unlawful reorganization of the federal government. As Justice Jackson's dissent explained, "our system does not allow the President to rewrite laws on his own."
