Black people held their own constitutional conventions before the Civil War and the Black Panthers held their own constitutional conventions in the 1970s; the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 started the march to the Equal Rights Convention; and the Abolitionist movement petitioned Congress.
Sherrilyn Ifill@sifill.bsky.social · 10mo agoImportant piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

If I were this generation's most widely legal scholar I simply would not do public interviews where I reveal just how dumb my thinking is about really basic fundamental things
"But you could have an opinion on it. You have an opinion on all kinds of things, right?" I meant things like Star Wars! Not like, you know, the war crimes committed by my good family friend. Who has time for that!? Jesus this interview is such an amazing train wreck.
