Well, look who just showed up…

Here's my oral argument last week in the Seventh Circuit in United States v. Smith: media.ca7.uscourts.gov/sound/external…

A crisp fall morning here in Washington — just as it was 23 years ago today. We will never forget. We never could.

A fun (?) fact I uncovered when preparing for my speech next week Duke Law, courtesy of the great Rachel Shelden: John Tyler had eight Supreme Court nominations rejected by the Senate in 1844-1845. (To be fair, it was only four different nominees.)

The bad guys tried, but it’s still the greatest city on earth.

I finally have some appellate-appropriate art in my New York office…. #AppellateTwitter

So proud this guy is our QB1.

A really fascinating episode of the Advisory Opinions podcast, with the great Dr. Adam Feldman joining Sarah and David to talk about how to measure ideology in Supreme Court decisions. Sarah Isgur David French thedispatch.com/podcast/adviso…

An incredible story here by ⁦Joan Biskupic⁩ about how close the Supreme Court came to overruling Roe v. Wade… in 1989: cnn.com/2024/09/13/pol…

Happy to be back in one of my favorite American cities, San Diego, where I’ll be speaking at the ABA Business Law fall meeting this afternoon.

An interesting new paper by Stephen Choi and Mitu Gulati that attempts to quantify the performance of President Trump’s judicial appointees on various metrics (HT Orin Kerr): papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Happy birthday to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The Supreme Court's best-selling author turns 54 today.

There is one topic I haven't been tweeting about lately, and that's because I'm being superstitious and won't tweet about it until it happens. 😉

Congrats to my moot-court partner, the extraordinary AMANDA L. TYLER, who just ran her 25th marathon (Sydney).

It's great to be back at Duke Law, where I'll be giving a speech later today addressing the recent criticisms of the Supreme Court’s legitimacy. Details here: law.duke.edu/events/supreme…

Happy Constitution Day! Also, two important birthdays today: Patrick Mahomes II (who is on Twitter) turns 29, and retired Justice David Souter (who I suspect is not on Twitter) turns 85.

It isn’t Malta, but it’ll do.
