Pre-order my book! "A myth-busting glimpse into the inner workings of the Supreme Court." Fun for lawyers and non-lawyers alike, including John Jay's head injury, why the end of the filibuster is bad for the judiciary, and who is watching Slow Horses.

From a wise friend: So, just so I understand what the Alito/Thomas blurb is about, SCOTUS is effectively saying “get the eff off my lawn” while Alito/Thomas are like “you’re welcome to ring the doorbell but no way are we opening the door to you weirdos?” EXACTLY 🔥

Overheard in Georgetown outside a Michelin star restaurant : “I’m a member of the new administration and the fact you don’t offer takeout food seems like proof that you’re biased against us!” [I’m not joking…this really just happened]

A lot of quiet conversations among conservative thought leaders today about how to prepare for a “post Trump” Republican Party—whether its impeachment or a loss in 2020. People thinking about how that shakes out and where they fit. This is not good for Trump.

Fact: Director Wray’s resignation— effective Jan 21—prevents Trump from naming Kash Patel as acting FBI director.

"For the rank and file FBI, I think [Director Wray's] decision to resign prematurely under pressure is tantamount to abandonment," Rep. @GerryConnolly tells me on @InsidePolitics. Hear the Congressman in his own words here:

President Joe Biden announced that the Equal Rights Amendment should be considered a ratified addition to the U.S. Constitution, inserting himself into a long-running legal battle over gender equality. apnews.com/article/joe-bi…

Do you really believe you're on the right side of history if you're afraid to be recognized? Civil rights protestors didn't cover their faces. Vietnam draft protestors didn't. Apartheid protestors didn't. KKK protestors did.

Per @DavidAFrench When you see the casualty counts from the IDF rescue operation, realize this: -When Hamas took hostages, it committed war crimes. -When it hid the hostages amongst civilians, it committed more war crimes.
