Kate & I were reunited on this week's Strict Scrutiny - and we also got to talk to Rick Hasen! Check it out (including the conversation that Kate had with a senior counsel at If When How about the important work they're doing to combat pregnancy criminalization):

Download of the Week: “The Promise and Peril of Direct Democracy After Dobbs” by Murray & Shaw

The Download of the Week is The Promise and Peril of Direct Democracy After Dobbs by Melissa Murray and Katherine Shaw. Here is the abstract: In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court announced that it was leaving the power to regulate abortion “to the people and their elected representatives.” In the wake of Dobbs, state-level “elected representatives” quickly got to work, resulting in dramatic changes to the abortion access landscape.

We’re rotating hosting responsibilities @strictscrutiny.bsky.social a bit this summer; with @leahlitman.bsky.social & @profmmurray.bsky.social away last week, I got to talk Blanche & Trump’s IRS suit with @katiephang.bsky.social, & courts & democracy with @amandalitman.bsky.social

I learned a ton from this conversation with the incomparable @kimlanelaw.bsky.social @strictscrutiny.bsky.social

Strict Scrutiny Podcast@strictscrutiny.bsky.social · 3w ago

NEW: law of democracy - & autocracy - scholar Kim Lane Scheppele joins the pod again to explain how SCOTUS functions like a captured court. And talks about how we get out of an autocratic cycle of doom- with lessons from Hungary & elsewhere. @kimlanelaw.bsky.social crooked.com/podcast/our-...

Marty Lederman@martylederman.bsky.social · last mo.

@kateshaw.bsky.social gets at something very important & correct here: In case after case (including yesterday's TPS case), the Court *hasn't* ruled that the Trump Administration acted lawfully--instead, it's held that courts can't enjoin or remedy *illegal* conduct. [1]

Kate Shaw@kateshaw.bsky.social · last mo.

I’ve got a piece in the @nytimes.com this morning about the court’s appalling decision allowing the administration to terminate TPS without following the legally required steps - & in the face of considerable evidence of unconstitutional racial bias www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/o...

Kate, Melissa, & I have an article in the SF Chronicle that is about the abomination I am calling the slushbag sleazefund DOJ Deal-do @kateshaw.bsky.social @profmmurray.bsky.social @strictscrutiny.bsky.social: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Trump’s IRS settlement is his most brazen attempt to co-opt the U.S. legal system

OPINION: Unlike previous settlements between Trump and private corporations, in this one, the president’s allies will be enriched while taxpayers will foot the bill.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

We prevail through solidarity. Much organizing is behind this decision by Brown U to not cave, on the day that the Pentagon press corps walked out in unison rather than submit to censorship. In the year that so many non-immigrants showed up to stand with immigrants. #nokings

Brown rejects the compact! President Paxson’s letter references the views of stakeholders - & I know as an alum how activated the Brown community was while the school considered its response - an important reminder of how much organizing matters
