SCOOP: Federal judiciary approves new Supreme Court defender office to help represent indigent defendants at #SCOTUS.
Its full-time director will serve as a counterweight to the U.S. solicitor general in federal criminal cases. The first will be former Kagan clerk and SG atty Ashley Robertson.
Consider.

The history of Japanese American incarceration is not a morality play about bad men thwarting good ones. It is a story of ordinary officialsโsome better, some worseโoperating within institutions that rewarded racism, fear, ambition, and deference to military authority.

Probably would've planned better too
I'm thrilled this morning to see my amicus curiae brief about birthright citizenship as one of just 2 (out of 43 filed!) singled out by @stevevladeck.bsky.social in his newsletter "One First."
The brief is here: tinyurl.com/3hy76638
Please help spread the word!

Thank you.
Yesterday I filed an #AmicusCuriae brief at #SCOTUS in the birthright citizenship case. It presents stories of 3 families of Japanese ancestry--w/o legal allegiance to the USA--to show citizenship derives from birth on US soil, not parental loyalties.

And look how well you've managed despite that obstacle!
The gov't argues that only parents w/allegiance to the USA can give birth to US citizens.
If allegiance mattered, you'd think it would've mattered most in WWII, a moment of crisis in allegiance.
But it didn't.
Interned parents w/no allegiance to USA gave birth to babies recognized as US citizens.

Cagey!
Allusive historical essays are the bracing tonic our crisis demands.
Remember this?

People need to ask the creators of the film SAPIRO V FORD why they're presenting the work as their own without crediting (or even mentioning!) the book on which the film is based by legal historian Victoria Woeste.
Kinda scandalous.

It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Of all the photos from this era I've seen - and I've seen a lot - this one is the most arresting.
March 1944, deportation of the Jews of Ioannina, Greece.

I can't think of a worse title for a documentary about Elie Wiesel.

You can take the lawprof outta Wyoming, but you can't take Wyoming outta the lawprof.

If you're looking for more reasons to detest the #Greenland move, consider this: 90% of inhabitants are indigenous.
A repeat of the 1867 Alaska Purchase, a transaction between U.S. & Russia that ignored native (Tlingit, Inupiat, Yupik) sovereignty entirely.
We're redoing the 19th century, folks.
