I don't think she's that subtle in her language

Correct. This is simply the Hebrew term for "house of law," but refers to all contemporary Jewish courts.

I have decided to undertake a dry social media January. See you all in 31 days.

Excerpt from an article on ESPN giving the name of a CFP game as the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential.

College football is the most embarrassing sport in the entire world, Exhibit J.

Gentlemen, I regret to inform you that I no longer believe in science.

The Kruse Missile eliminates all targets.

We are fast approaching the point where a bye week in the CFP is going to be seen as a disadvantage.

“I can no longer smell my Yankee Candle.”

It’s Mamdan-we now.

The alleged daycare fraud taking place in Minnesota should be investigated fully and carefully. But don't engage in the rank bigotry of blaming "the Somalis," especially if it is compounded by the hypocrisy of calling out those who blame "the Jews" when one of our number commits a crime.

I’m pretty sure this is an AI-generated photo.

I give a ton of credit to Professor George, who has managed to be a principled and thoughtful conservative despite what his commitments might imply.

We need feminism because without it, someone might marry Stephen Miller

Structure and Relationship in Constitutional Law by Charles L. Black, Jr.

Why used bookstores matter:

I have spent the last two years searching for this wonderful little book. Cheapest price online is $225 - and the copy from the Harvard Law Library is missing.

Today I picked it up for 29.

New York Times article: Representative Elise Stefanik of New York, a conservative Republican with close ties to President Trump, abruptly announced on Friday that she was suspending her campaign for governor and would give up her seat in Congress next year. “While spending precious time with my family this Christmas season, I have made the decision to suspend my campaign for Governor and will not seek re-election to Congress,” she wrote in a post on X. “I did not come to this decision lightly for our family.” The decision was a stunning turn in fortune for one of Republicans’ biggest stars and upended one of the nation’s top governor’s races. Ms. Stefanik, 41, was a Harvard-educated phenom when she took office a decade ago, becoming the youngest woman to serve in the House in its history. Over the years she transformed herself from a moderate Republican into a full MAGA warrior, and shot up through House leadership ranks.

What are we about to learn?

Purely a hypo: If one acts illegally in removing lettering that was illegally installed, can they be charged with a crime?

Just learned that Norman Podhoretz was still alive

I believe that this inertia principle represents the best way to consider both abortion and end-of-life questions in a responsible way in a society that places a high value on human life.

To be clear, once something is alive, it is. But in the absence of objective criteria for determining what meets the definition of "life," and in a pluralistic society (where "the presence of a soul" does not qualify), this point must be acknowledged.

I have a theory (I didn't ask ChatGPT if it's mine) that the abortion conversation would benefit from acknowledging the presence of inertia; namely, that there is a higher barrier to declaring an entity "alive" that previously wasn't. This makes it obvious why a story about a 2-year is wholly unapt.

And reading an excellent book.

The face of legal pragmatism.

Your formalist argument is invalid.

“Counsel requests judicial notice of the fact that we inhabit a nomos.”

They should be friends

Actually, it's all signal.

Fair, but the big reveal in Glass Onion was a big cringe.

Ad hominem implies the existence of ad homophone.

This is an example.
