Please help me get the word out about the new websites for Legal Theory Blog and the Legal Theory Lexicon. Reposting here and on other social media sites is great. It would be especially helpful if law school faculty members could send an email to their colleagues with the new

The practice and promotion of the procedures discussed in this truth bomb by a British physician are worse than pseudoscience. Fraud is being committed against young people who are struggling with dysphorias or caught up in social contagions--fraud that does irreversible harm.
I have written an open letter to the young people of Britain who may be considering undergoing the unscientific and mutilating procedure known as “gender-affirming surgery.” My purpose is to urge them to pause and carefully reconsider their decision. Open Letter to British Youth

Ghoulish. Beyond ghoulish.
Canada‘s euthanasia regime. Once you cross the line and allow doctors to kill patients, there is no sane stopping point.

Robert P. George opposed Roe v. Wade, same-sex marriage—and the rise of MAGA. “I say to my [liberal] colleagues,” he claims, “it was you guys who gave us Donald Trump!”

I deeply admire my Princeton colleagues Steve Macedo and Frances Lee for their brave, truth-telling book *In Covid's Wake*. Here Professor Macedo is interviewed about their findings by Robert Wright. It is a terrific discussion: https://t.co/EmJDKVXU7L

This insanity explains why Donald Trump won ... and won twice--even winning the popular vote in 2024. By any objective measure, he should have been an easy candidate for the Democrats to defeat.

My brilliant young Princeton colleague Gregory Conti pleads with our fellow conservatives to maintain a principled stand for free speech--which means honoring the free speech rights of our political opponents, including those who would themselves restrict our free speech rights.
“Americans really do equate democratic self-government with being able to say what you want.” Read Gregory Conti’s piece in COMPACT: https://t.co/uYhH2qWhJz

Democrats continue strangling themselves with the cords of gender ideology. Sane and savvy people in the party, like Rahm Emmanuel, are desperately trying to interrupt this not-so-slow motion suicide. But here's what they're up against.
I’m going to continue posting this every day. Senator Jamie Pedersen said if little girls as young as 8 who can menstruate, her parents have no right to be involved in her s*xual decisions. Sen. Victoria Hunt agrees. #vote4chad

I'm sharing this video because I share the prayer of Pope Leo. That prayer reflects the vision of the Second Vatican Council on ecumenical and interreligious understanding and cooperation--a beautiful, humane, and profoundly constructive vision. Let faith unite us, not divide us.
Let us #PrayTogether that believers in different religious traditions might work together to defend and promote peace, justice and human fraternity. #PrayerIntention #ClickToPray @clicktopray_en

Bingo.
I'm seeing quite a bit of comment about this, so I want to make a couple of points. I'm not owed eternal agreement from any actor who once played a character I created. The idea is as ludicrous as me checking with the boss I had when I was twenty-one for what opinions I should

My personal friendship with President Nelson began some years ago, when he was Elder Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve of the LDS Church. He came to Princeton to attend a meeting of scholars and religious leaders committed to the defense of marriage. In response to my

My friend Doug Ollivant is running for the US House of Representative from Virginia's 7th district. Doug, a former West Point professor, is a highly decorated Iraq War vet and a genuine expert--not just an ex-military guy with opinions--on national (and international) security.
Yes, I'm running. I'm proud to announce my candidacy for U.S. Congress in Virginia's 7th district. https://t.co/duJNaz8fUE

This morning when I posted my condolences to the Latter-day Saints community on the death of their esteemed leader President Nelson, I didn't know that I would be posting again, this time to express my concern and solidarity after a shooting and fire at an LDS church in Michigan.
