“The weight of authority goes against the idea that a president could pardon himself,” said Caroline Mala Corbin, an expert on constitutional law at the University of Miami School of Law. “But the constitutional text does not directly answer the question, so it is possible to come up with a theory that allows it.” theintercept.com/2023/07/30/tr

@CynthiaHanrahan the test is written in accordance with what's current at the time (many months in advance), and students are told that hot-button issues aren't tested. questions will be much more generalized ("what is the scrutiny level for xyz?") or based on principles that haven't been the topic of recent court decisions.

By a 7-2 vote, the Supreme Court leaves Indian Child Welfare Act intact

The court upheld the law's preferences for Native tribes when American Indian children are adopted, ruling that the law does not impermissibly impose a federal mandate on traditionally state-regulated areas of power. (Alito & Thomas dissented)

San Diego federal judge had defendant’s 13-year-old daughter handcuffed. Now he’s under review.

Multiple studies have shown that “scared straight” tactics — which typically involve youths being exposed to harsh conditions in adult prisons, usually with parental permission — are ineffective and can also increase criminality and delinquency.

Out-of-State Licensed Attorney 'Qualifies as Counsel Under the 6th Amendment,' State High Court Concludes in Novel Case:
The court’s decision last week was its first opportunity to define the meaning of “counsel,” as opposed to “effective counsel,” under the federal constitution.

@mmasnick Literally zero clue. Can he get someone to do a crash course course for him?

Allowing "good content" is literally the opposite of being a absolutist. Sigh.

@brentsimmons I'm so confused, I thought I remember hearing say he was a absolutist. </sarcasm>

Maybe he needs to take a class so he can learn that what he's saying now re: good content is pretty much the opposite of a 1A constitutional analysis.

@Popehat Every time a issue comes up in the public discourse, I issue a nearly audible groan because I then have to explain-- yet again-- to all of my non-lawyer friends and family that constitutional analysis is not done in any semblance of a way that non-lawyers think it is.
