Fr @UCLA_Law now: @DavidGSavage dishes on spending time with #SCOTUS justices at + away from court - at lunches, book signings “where you really get a sense of the person they are.” He’s been on the beat since 1986, serving @LATimes audience. #CommunityEngagement

In today’s @nytimes, @stevenmazie and me on how the Trump cases pose a major institutional test for #SCOTUS—and how essential it is for the justices to resolve them on terms that have at least some chance of appealing across the political spectrum: https://t.co/h7Vk64dDsz

The court should embrace the art of judicial statecraft.

“In the beginning, America was a corporation-the demands of business have shaped the nation and its governmental structures from the start… the corporation … had been bred into the very genes of the American democracy.” Excited to work through @adamwinkler’s new book.

One more story from Seminole, rare course with back to back par 5’s. My good friend @adamwinkler rolled in an 80 footer for eagle on hole 14. We went nuts. On hole 15, I had 230 into the wind. Roasted 3 wood left me a 30 foot putt. Poured it in!! Eagle bros!! Back to back!

Ralph Bunche was a Black American diplomat, and a leader of the U.N. process that created Israel. A celebrity in his day, he is now largely forgotten. @BurkleCenter @UCLA_Law scholar Kal Raustiala, on the Nobel Laureate: https://t.co/l3rquERrGN

As @adamwinkler told me a year ago: “There is the irony that conservatives for the last 20 yrs have been emphasizing that corporations have rights... to influence electoral politics. And yet, now they’re trying to punish a company for trying to influence politics.”

Antes mesmo dos peregrinos trazerem a ideia de liberdade individual, a corporação com fins lucrativos já estava estabelecida na América colonial. Toda essa ideia (e história) é muito bem tratada no livro do @adamwinkler sobre o tema: We The Corporations. Recomendo demais... 5/5

SCOTUS has agreed to consider the “independent state legislature theory,” a dubious reading of the Constitution that would eliminate checks and balances & increase partisan meddling in elections. Learn more about what’s at stake from @BrennanCenter ⬇️

Interested in learning more about Justice KBJ's originalist reading of the 14th Amendment? Check out my article "Enjoyed by White Citizens," which explains how the Civil Rights Act of 1866 took an explicitly race-conscious approach: https://t.co/7sklbOWKlc

Dear Twitter, @UCLA_CILP is hiring! We will hire a recent law school graduate to start some time in the summer or fall of 2023. We do lots of interesting work at the intersection of research, advocacy, and litigation. Please spread the word!

The North Carolina legislators’ case in Moore v. Harper relies in part on a piece of paper from 1818. But there’s a problem: The document they quote in their brief is a well-known fake. via @EthanHerenstein & Brian Palmer of @BrennanCenter

Ouch. Supporters of the “independent state legislature theory” cited a fraudulent document in their Supreme Court brief.
