Once again, I just want to say that lavish gifts to Supreme Court justices shouldn’t just be “disclosed.” They should be banned, outright. This should not be a radical position.

God Bless Paul Davies and the Philly Inquirer: "In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump... Biden on his worst day remains lightyears better than Trump on his best.... There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

What in the WORLD is all this fuss about a full ellipse? I mean it’s just three dots, right? My God people get a life.

If you make a commercial product that allows someone to remotely access video, audio, or location data from a device, I am begging you to threat model for domestic abuse BEFORE YOU SHIP YOUR GODDAMN PRODUCT.
The UCI School of Law is seeking a Visiting Clinical Professor to lead the UCI Intellectual Property, Arts, and Technology Clinic in Fall 2024. Please reach out if you think you might be interested!
LA City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto has a lot of nerve to attend a journalism event and tweet about it, while seeking a prior restraint against reporter Ben Camacho, who simply received and published photos Soto's own office gave him. Soto is also lobbying for public employee identities to be secret. Soto should do the right thing and drop the suit and stop the lobbying.
@rhetoricked 100%, spell out the case names in the TOA, as if they were in a sentence. I don’t think this is up for debate? The TOA just looks terrible if you don’t do that.
Big news! Today we released the Second Edition of the Rap on Trial Legal Guide, co-authored with Charis Kubrin and students in the UCI IP Arts & Tech Clinic! Over 30 pages of new content from new legislation to implicit bias, ghostwriting in rap, and more! #rapontrial
I wrote for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on the #ysl trial and the choice prosecutors made to make #YoungThug’s rap lyrics the central focus of a massive RICO trial. This brings racial bias into the courtroom and has dangerous free speech implications for everyone.
I was pleased to speak with Keiran Southern from the Sunday Times about the YSL trial and the Atlanta DA's disappointing decision to make rap lyrics the central focus of the case.

I don't post on here much any more, or monitor it much, so probably better to find me on Bluesky if you need me.
De gustibus etc. No platform is perfect. But I feel more comfortable there, and less like I'm likely to get screamed at for using Latin without a CW or something.
Great comments by Rick Hasen on the "24 for 24" recommendations for ensuring free, fair, and secure elections. I was proud to be a small part of this effort.

You never need to apologize for:
•Condemning killing of civilians
•Condemning killing of civilians as a response to killing civilians
•Condemning war crimes no matter the perpetrator
•Needing time & space to center yourself before speaking
This is how we build sustainable peace & justice for all people.
@SomaFMrusty@defcon.social It sure is catchy. Just like many rap songs that have been criminalized.
@design_law Great idea!
