An admirable position far too in short supply these days.

Yay to @jeannefromer.bsky.social and @marklemley.bsky.social - state supreme courts should race in to stop the firm hiring foolishness.

Phil Malone@prmalone.bsky.social · last mo.

Thanks to @jeannefromer.bsky.social and @marklemley.bsky.social for working with my awesome @juelsgaardclinic.bsky.social students and me to try to solve the recent law school recruiting "race to the bottom" that harms law students, law firms, and law schools alike. It's time for reform.

Well then Claude can kiss my tuchas goodbye

In a new privacy policy, Anthropic says Claude will soon require you to upload your driver's license or passport for a variety of reasons. The ID checker is Persona, a firm funded by Trump ally Peter Thiel. As a U.S. company, Persona is also subject to gov't demands for people's verification data. 👀

Exactly. Young man!

The menschlichkeit on display here is accurate, admirable, and the essence of humility.

Colbert is both a mensch and an actual genius. One of one. He and @maddow.bsky.social are the two best broadcasters of our time; truly in their own category. I'm angry and sad the president and the feckless suits cancelled the show but also know it's not the end.

Just arrived @michaelcpollack.bsky.social looks amazing can’t wait to read it!

But why are we on here to argue at all?

Melody Schreiber@melodyschreiber.com · 3mo ago

With agentic AI, I suspect there are more fully AI accounts on here than most of us realize. It's why I am trying not to waste a lot of time arguing with anyone I don't know.

So, any bets on how Chatrie is coming out after that mish mash of an argument this morning?

Alito asking interesting question: what theory of Pet is most debilitating to 4th A as we know it. Govt lists a lot of them.

Govt here is begging for court to say need warrant for steps two and three. Court may go there.

Boy this lawyer is terrible

Gov: shutting off govt access to important info.

Kav really very pro these warrants. He and Alito seem in that place most. But not seeing much belief this was a general warrant. We agree

Gorsuch very focused on statutes. That is our position! Gorsuch also asking if can resolve on no warrant for steps teo and three

#Chatrie We should be able to use apps without becoming targets of surveillance. Warrants are one thing. Unwarranted collection of app data is problematic. @policingproject.bsky.social brief argues legislation needed here

Waiting for #Chatrie

I’m not sure folks quite got the allusion. Um, look for other presidents today saying what they are not.

Important. Deeply dismaying conduct—lawless policymaking—by Chief Justice Roberts and four other Supreme Court justices. Not on the level. Judging dirty. Which business contacts convinced him & them that they needed to do this monkey wrenching of environmental policy and ordinary litigation??

Must read @adamliptak.bsky.social @jodikantor.bsky.social on birth of SCOTUS modern shadow docket. Though the real birth at some level was insistence that with a broken Congress, presidents must work around it. We have seen where that takes us. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

This is a super interesting and important take. Concerns about a standing army bar the way we are funding the military.

Matthew Lawrence@mblawrence.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Some key takeaways from new work with @marknevitt.bsky.social: 🚫Funding the military long term through reconciliation is unconstitutional 🚫Long-term military funding in OBBA is unconstitutional ❓Maybe ICE funding too 🚫Tapping the Judgment Fund for defense procurement contracts is unconstitutional
