Give the Nobel Peace Prize Posthumously There’s an easy way to avoid betrayal by winners of the world’s most important humanitarian prize: only give it to dead people.

I’m with @zacharykaufman.bsky.social that the #Nobel Peace Prize should only be awarded posthumously. Re-upping his article from 2017: foreignpolicy.com/2017/10/05/g...

Re US v. #Skrmetti:

Some commentators (e.g., @mjsdc.bsky.social) are arguing that conservative #SCOTUS justices are cherry picking citations to foreign laws and policies.

They did the exact same thing in Obergefell v. Hodges (same-sex marriage case), as I argued in YJIL: ssrn.com/abstract=263...
