President of JCN (@judicialnetwork). Co-Author of Justice on Trial. RT ≠ endorsement. I probably should include something witty here.

This man allegedly was ready to deploy 200 explosives at a Catholic Mass to pray for the Supreme Court justices and other judges in DC. When will this end? https://t.co/s4NcWmLecI

You can’t have it both ways. The American Psychological Association will have to come to terms with its conflicting claims involving cognitive maturity as the Court hears Hamm v. Smith in the coming weeks. 👇🏻 “In United States v. Skrmetti, the American Psychological

Prof. @shbarclay’s excellent article, “Replacing Smith,” suggests strict scrutiny. Definitely worth reading. https://t.co/sFw3OzmMjQ
@JCNSeverino In two interviews this fall, Carrie, Justice Barrett told me that she was not aware of any scholar who responded to her request in her concurrence in Fulton v. City of Philadelphia for a test that would replace Employment Division v Smith. Are you? I think the answer is strict

A major win for religious liberty, made possible in part by the newly appointed Justice Barrett.
Today marks the 5th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo. In a 5–4 decision, the Court blocked Gov. Cuomo’s order that severely restricted houses of worship while treating comparable secular activities more leniently,

Chevron U.S.A. v. Plaquemines Parish is certainly one of the most important cases before the Court this term, and the justices’ ruling could deal a major blow to the Left’s relentless woke lawfare. A great breakdown from @AGofAlaska 👇🏻

Next week, the justices will face a procedural question in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin: whether a litigant with a reasonably objective claim that their First Amendment rights have been chilled can be forced to move their case to state court even if they filed

A new @DefendingEd report reveals that the nation’s largest teachers’ union is encouraging members to demand that schools prioritize “hiring, retaining, and promoting educators of color.” That sure seems like a Title VII violation for schools that accept those terms.

Thankfully, not all Democrats are on board with the Left’s court-packing agenda. Their proposed “reforms” to the Court would destroy judicial independence. More of Senator Fetterman’s colleagues should take a stand against the radicals in their party and reject court-packing.

Another victory for religious freedom: The First Amendment protects individuals’ right to practice their religion freely. Whether you’re a priest in Washington state, a baker in Colorado, or a judge in Texas, no one should have to abandon their sincerely-held religious beliefs.

“The irony is stark. Louisiana and Texas want to give students voluntary access to foundational texts that shaped Western civilization. Colorado denies parents voluntary access to publicly funded preschool because they choose faith-based education. The religion clauses found in

Likely the single most frequent loser in recent Supreme Court religion and speech jurisprudence is at it again. Colorado’s Universal Preschool Program is hardly neutral and riddled with exemptions — but only for causes the state favors. When Catholic preschools asked for an

Rebranding discriminatory race-based hiring practices doesn’t make them any less discriminatory and doesn’t change the fact that quotas to “ensure” schools have “faculty of the global majority” violate federal civil rights law.
Vermont’s Burlington School District is now using “global majority” as a code phrase to keep race-based hiring alive. New label, same discrimination. ➡️ https://t.co/zX5bLeRn3C

The Senate rejected FDR's court-packing scheme. Yet Democrats continue to push a manufactured legitimacy crisis to sway public opinion in favor of destroying our institutions.
Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is calling on Democrats to pack the Supreme Court and impeach “at least two” of its sitting justices, the Free Beacon‘s @JessicaCostescu reports from the campaign trail. Addressing the Somerset County Democrats on Saturday, Platner said the
