The best thing about going to Amicus Live is being in a room full of fellow Amicus fans. Thank you Dahlia Lithwick, Mark Joseph Stern, @slate, and @sixthandi!

Always a treat to hear — and, tonight, see — Dahlia Lithwick Mark Joseph Stern & Sherrilyn Ifill discussing the law.

Law School Exam Issue-Spotter:

A defendant who is subject to a gag order invites surrogates, who may in the future seek jobs from him, to stand outside the courthouse and promote jury nullification. Who if anyone has liability, and for what?

Justice Todd Eddins: “How are we supposed to decide what is history? Do we deputize our law clerks as historians? Do we rely on partisan amicus briefs? I don’t want to do that. But it seems like the US Supreme Court tends to cherry-pick history that way.” slate.com/news-and-polit…

I know a lot of lower court judges feel this way and I wish more would speak out as fearlessly as Justice Eddins. slate.com/news-and-polit…

The anti-abortion movement isn't just seeking to criticize abortion. They are putting pregnant women in a sub-class of citizen. A pregnant woman can do the *exact* same thing as is legal for a non-pregnant one and her act leads to legal consequences.

I just TRULY don't get being rich and successful and adored and having the ability to do what you love and delight children and deciding 'No, instead think I'll be an obsessive creepy weirdo bigot about something that's none of my business.' Wasted life!!

Wowza. This is quite the ⭐️ panel.

Very odd life path for Trone to have his family “destroyed by alcoholism” and then start the largest alcohol retailer in America

👇This is obviously true. If I lived in Ward 4 I’d be thrilled to vote for Janeese Lewis George.

SO EXCITED to add Rep. Jamie Raskin to our fabulous lineup tomorrow. Join us!

Mayor Bowser's approval ratings should be much lower in light of the cronyism, incompetence, negligence, and outright corruption that plagues her administration—and whose devastating consequences can be felt all around the District every day—but the trend line is encouraging.

The Supreme Court takes up no new cases in today's orders list.

Jackson, joined by Sotomayor, dissents from the court's refusal to consider whether a judge can exclude a criminal defendant from a 'special venire' hearing, pre–voir dire, in his own case. supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…

Wherein Leonard Leo has such thin skin and hates free speech so much that he called the cops on peaceful protestors and now cost Maine taxpayers almost 65 grand.

He’s big mad, too. The Leo quotes in here are *chef’s kiss.*

Thomas: “My wife and I the last two or three years it’s been — just the nastiness and the lies, it’s just incredible.” 

Translation: “They would not let my wife and me overturn a Presidential election.”

This is a brilliant piece that lays out Alito’s hackery with incontrovertible data
