Elie Mystal on stage at Town Hall Seattle

@cliffcawthon89.bsky.social Cliff and I had the huge privilege of seeing Elie Mystal @elienyc.bsky.social at Town Hall Seattle today! Elie Mystal is truly one of the most brilliant people out there. #eliemystal #seattle #badlaw #allowmetoretort

Elie Mystal's book, Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution, is bringing much needed balance to our government course. Ch. 10 just knocked teens out of their chair when they realized their parents were kids at the time.

Excellent and important. Should be in 10th grade curriculum, or gift at graduation. #eliemystal #allowmetoretort

Cover of the book Allow Me to Retort by Elie Mystal.

I'm of the @elienyc.bsky.social school of thought. Rich white men who didn't give a 💩 about anyone but rich white men aren't really the paragons of wisdom & virtue people make them out to be.
If you haven't read his book, I highly recommend that you do.

Page from Preface of Elie Mystal’s book “Allow Me to Retort” Highlighted text: “He's not applying originalism as an interpretive framework to guide his decision, he's using originalism as a justification for his predetermined political outcome of rescinding reproductive rights.”

I love books that inspire me to get out my highlighters & save what I deem important information or particularly profound statements. And I’m only on the preface!
