Just to be absolutely clear: Trump may not run for a third term.
The Constitution bars it.
The language is not open to debate.22nd Amendment: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice"

Very excited to have a new paper!!
Because the U.S. Supreme Court has essentially gutted the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Const, it is perhaps time to turn to the establishment provisions of the state constitutions to ensure some degree of separation of church and state.

"I’ve been on the bench for over four decades," Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, said. "I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order."

South Carolina Doctors Challenge #Abortion Ban on Free Exercise Grounds https://buff.ly/40gIQlQ
If the Supreme Court happily grants conservative Christians exemptions from health care laws on religious liberty grounds (which they do all the time), then progressive Christians and nonChristians ought to be able to eligible for them too

A favorite covid era innovation: online quizzes
The multiple choice quizzes cover basics of the assigned cases i.e. parties, holding, reasoning
The key is to make the online quizzes due BEFORE class
Also, I allow students to take the quiz as many times as they like, retaining only the highest score
Students who complete all quizzes with perfect score get extra points at the ned of the semester. Most do.
Everyone is better prepared

Regulating LGBTQ Speech in the ClassroomUnder existing law, teachers teaching (i.e. their speech pursuant to official duties) is govt speech unprotected by free speech
This essay argues that this rule mistakenly assumes that the Free Speech Clause protects only speakers and not audiences--in this case students
It then examines deliberate misgendering & Don't Say Gay laws thru this lens

Looking at Dobbs again for a paper and my blood boils every time I have reread its one paragraph dismissal of an equal protection challenge to abortion ban due to the cursed Geduldig decision (which held that pregnancy disc is not sex disc)
And yesterday in the Skrmetti oral arg you could see them trying to mobilize Geduldig again to dismiss the equal protection challenge to gendering affirming care ban

Just like bans on abortion essentially impose conservative Christian ideology onto everyone regardless of their own faith,
bans on transgender medical care -- health care that all medical associations support -- does the same.

In praise of the Washington Post’s cowardice https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4956389-in-praise-of-the-washington-posts-cowardice/?fbclid=IwY2xjawGMoXdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHYo8lhFKIVPGLR6p083N7XQ4X8qYdw1SFtK8NK30DcxWOpu7QGerw_4Iyg_aem_QOw7epb3XJvyu9hZS6V1FA
"The Post has offered us a dramatic glimpse into what a Trumpified America looks like — one in which the abuse of government power is so expected that the press censors itself, fearing the ruler’s wrath. This is a familiar sight in distant kleptocracies, but the U.S. has been spared it, at least at the highest levels, until now."

Florida threatens to criminally charge TV stations airing abortion rights ad https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/10/09/florida-abortion-tv-ad-caroline/
If there is one thing the free speech clause of the first amendment is supposed to do, it is to make sure the govt does not censor viewpoints it does not like.

I am about to read the Florida Supreme Court's decision eliminating abortion rights under the Florida Constitution, which has an explicit right to privacy and has until today been read to reach the right to abortion.
I suspect I will become very, very angry at this blatantly outcome driven decision
...
Yes, yes I am.

Appeals court blocks Fla. ‘Stop Woke Act,’ says it’s a ‘First Amendment sin’ https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03/04/appeals-court-blocks-florida-stop-woke-act/
It is hard to find a more paradigmatic violation of the free speech clause than the govt censoring a private speaker because the govt doesn't like what the speaker is saying

Sorry -- I forgot to explain that the Supreme Court described the new standard for evaluating a Title VII religious accommodation claim and then sent the case back down to the lower courts.
So we don't yet know if the Christian postal work who wanted his Sabbath Sundays off will ultimately win or not.
But the new standard certainly helps.

I must confess to some concern about what Groff's new standard means for the inevitable case where a religious employee insists on a Title VII right to misgender coworkers as a religious accommodation.
Will harm to the misgendered employees be considered to "affect the conduct of the business"?

Nevermind the every day benefits due to unconscious discrimination, so that even if work of white applicants is not actually better, their teachers may think it is, and grade it accordingly, and write recommendation based on this belief -- even if totally in good faith

Nevermind the every day advantages white students have of good neighborhoods and good public schools.
It is not that their parents worked harder, but that the law favored their home ownership and states decided to fund schools based on that

There is so much #affirmativeaction for white applicants, isn't there?
Legacy admissions favor them
Sports admissions (tennis, squash, golf, sailing, skiing, swimming, water polo, crew, fencing, hockey, lacrosse, rugby) overall favor white applicants

In 303 Creative, a web designer argues a state public accommodations law that bars discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation violates her free speech by requiring her to make wedding websites for gay couples.
Though her opposition is rooted in her religious beliefs, her claim is a free speech one: she is being compelled to speak a message contrary to her viewpoint.
