On March 28, people will gather in #SantaFe #NewMexico for #NoKings 3, to celebrate and fight for constitutional democracy in the United States. They will exercise their First Amendment rights to assemble and freely express their views.
That is, they will if local government lets them. So far […]

Second: Stop calling them "conservative." Trump's judges aren't ruling based on legal doctrine. They're ruling in lockstep with his agenda, even when other Republicans reject it. That's not ideology. That's corruption. Name it. Third: Tell Congress to fight. Demand that members of Congress do their job and rein in the Court: enact term limits, enforce an ethics code, strip the Court's jurisdiction to insulate broadly popular legislation from corrupt judicial invalidation, expand the lower courts to dilute the influence of Trump's hack appointees. And stop confirming his nominees with bipartisan votes. This isn't about norms. Norms died when the Court started rubber-stamping abuse of power. We're not just in a constitutional crisis. We're in a corruption crisis. And the Supreme Court isn't the solution. It's the heart of the problem. Unless we confront this reality and adjust our strategy accordingly, this will end in a system of competitive authoritarianism legitimized by judicial decree.

“Law is a follow-the-money profession," said Kent Zimmermann, a consultant with Zeughauser Group. "Where more money, more outsized investment is flowing, there tends to be increasing need for legal services."

Finally (!) finished reading the 170-page (!!) IEEPA/Trump tariffs case, Learning Resources v. Trump. Yes, I’m glad that the immediate result was the Supreme Court clearly invalidating a Trump effort to assert dictatorial power. But the opinions in the case as a group showcase the mediocrity of […]

In BMW v. Onesta, a federal judge in Texas issued an anti-suit injunction (now stayed by the Federal Circuit) concerning a lawsuit in Germany, after the CJEU's decision in BSH v. Electrolux, alleging infringement of US patents. I don't think the judge's decision makes a lot of sense.
