2L me wrote a paper arguing this position…so Gorsuch must be right.

Not a law prof but as someone quite interested in this theory (and who has followed your work through LPE) I would love to read this, either now or when it is posted.

C’mon man, you aren’t this obtuse.

An originalism is bunk joke? Deep cut.

so, torture. they’re torturing them as federal policy. entirely predictable, but that doesn’t make it any less evil

The procedural barriers to court access only seem to appear when certain people want to access those courts. Totally a coincidence I’m sure.

That is just too much skill on one powerplay. Unreal.

Can confirm.

They are executing unarmed people in the streets for trying to protect their neighbors with the full support of the federal government.

Josie Albertson-Grove Bystanders say man shot by federal agent in south Minneapolis this morning A large presence of federal immigration agents is at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue where witnesses say a man was shot this morning. Scanner reports indicate a man was shot several times in the chest and has been taken to the hospital. Minneapolis Police Department officers are also on the scene there keeping more than 100 observers and protesters separated from the agents. An ambulance has left after CPR was seen being performed on the man

We have a masked death squad wandering our neighborhoods seemingly accountable to nobody but the President

Can’t opine on this specifically, but the application of the 1A in prisons leaves a lot to be desired.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.

We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Only explanation is the Pope.

Anyone who supports this is my Enemy

July 8, 2025 ATF Access to RPD License Plate Readers Terminated In June, administrators of the Richmond Police Department’s license plate reader program learned an analyst with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had been granted access to the RPD system and had made queries for immigration enforcement in violation of RPD’s operational standards. The ATF analyst’s access was immediately terminated and, moving forward, no federal agencies will have access to RPD’s license plate reader program. “ATF is a valued partner in our efforts to combat violent crime in Richmond. But their analyst should not have been granted access to our system — and absolutely should not have used it for immigration enforcement purposes,” said RPD Chief Rick Edwards. “I’ve been clear with the public, with city leadership, and within this department: the Richmond Police Department does not enforce federal immigration law, and we do not investigate a person’s immigration status. If ATF had formally requested access for that purpose, I would have denied it.”

Facts and details:  The ATF analyst requested access to the RPD license plate reader program on February 7, 2025, to “assist our agents and TFOs [Task Force Officers] with investigations in and around Richmond.”  At that time of their request, the ATF was not actively involved with immigration enforcement.  The RPD administrator of the program granted access to the ATF analyst.  The RPD administrator of the program has since separated from the department.  In March 2025, the mission of the ATF changed to include immigration enforcement.  In early March, four detainees from an ICE detention facility in Farmville, Virginia escaped. In the effort to assist the investigation, the ATF analyst made numerous inquiries to RPD’s license plate reader program in an effort to apprehend the escapees.

Overall, the ATF analyst queried 49 unique license plates receiving over 400 results to those inquiries.  Over a quarter of the results received related to the incident in Farmville.   The cases involved in the ATF analyst’s queries were a mixture of a) cases that the ATF traditionally investigates with RPD and other partners, e.g. firearms offenses and/or violent crime, regardless of a subject’s immigration status (35 of the 49 unique license plates) and b) cases that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) pursues regarding immigration enforcement (14 of the 49 unique license plates).  According to the ATF, all of those cases in the second group involved individuals that had committed a crime or had a criminal background.  The analyst did not include the name of the state for a license plate query which produced a result from a different state for the same license plate numbers and letters. According to the ATF, all queries made using the system were for investigations in the state of Virginia. Pursuant to the new Virginia law taking effect on July 1, 2025, other states no longer have connections to Virginia license plate information.  On June 11, the new RPD administrator received an alert from Flock Safety, the vendor of the license plate readers, that two searches from the ATF analyst inadvertently accessed Illinois vehicle data with “ICE” in the query field which is a violation of Illinois law.  Within five minutes of the new RPD administrator recognizing the ATF analyst had access to the RPD system and was using it in violation to RPD guidelines, the administrator terminated the ATF analyst’s access to the system.  An immediate audit was conducted to ensure no other federal partner or other user outside of RPD personnel had access to the license plate reader program. No other user was found to have access.  The new administrator began an internal investigation on how and when access was granted to the ATF analyst by the previous, departed manager.  Last…

“We value our partnership with the Richmond Police Department and regret that this situation occurred,” said ATF Special Agent in Charge Anthony Spotswood. “Our ATF analyst accessed RPD’s system in support of ATF’s overall mission and although all the queries involved criminal activity, they were not in compliance with RPD’s guidelines. While our investigative analysts support both criminal and immigration-related efforts, the majority of these searches were directly tied to local investigations involving gun trafficking, violent offenders, and fraudulent firearms purchases. In one instance, a potential residency violation may have prompted the use of ‘ICE’ in a search field — but all queries were related to criminal activity, not civil immigration enforcement.” “It is frustrating this occurred. However, I appreciate ATF’s willingness to acknowledge what happened and clarify the nature of the searches,” said Chief Edwards. “We remain committed to working with our federal partners on the investigation and prosecution of violent crime. But moving forward, no federal agencies will have access to our license plate reader program. This tool is vital to solving serious crimes in our city, and we will ensure it is used lawfully, responsibly, and in alignment with Richmond’s values.”

NEW: Approximately 1hr after I submitted an inquiry to Richmond Police Department asking if the city's Flock Safety ALPR data had been shared with/accessed by feds, a spokesperson issued a statement acknowledging an ATF "analyst" in June "had made queries for immigration enforcement."

Brilliant student journalism.

Slim reaper is my favorite.

He's also a member of the assembly and has been for a few terms, he isn't a complete novice.

Molly Coleman for Saint Paul City Council — Vote August 12!

I'm excited to share that I'm running for Saint Paul City Councilmember here in Ward Four.

I love this city and believe to my core that we can make it one where every single person can thrive.

Our values and vision are under attack nationally—so it's critical we fight for them here in Saint Paul.

For the people being stripped of life-saving medication it seems pretty urgent.

Lash thought there was election fraud in 2020, thinks Disney grooms kids, and has some pretty out there thoughts on COVID, just to name a few. His rational thinking skills are quite questionable.
