I should add: the reason I went and read the relevant passages in Tucker's treatise is because of @evanbernick.bsky.social's posts about it here. I like to think the Chief's response to Thomas' reliance on Tucker would have led me to take a look, but this not being my area, not sure I would have.
Jim OleskeNote: I'm not qualified to weigh in on history that Anthony, Ilan, and others have been debating, but I am qualified to read a legal treatise, and Wurman's persistent misrepresentation of Henry St. George Tucker's discussion of birthright citizenship, which Justice Thomas adopted, is depressing.
Would be curious to hear what law professors with experience teaching asynchronous classes, or law school administrators overseeing such programs, might have to say about how this dynamic impacts formative assessments in asynchronous law school classes (whether in JD, LLM, or masters programs).
Andrew Heisswoof ≈80% of assignments this summer term have essentially been just raw chatgpt/claude output, including assignments that required designing stuff in illustrator/affinity/canva. The battle is lost for asynchronous online courses.
I knew Steinman wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart and Holding Out for a Hero, but I did not know the story of how he and Tyler connected. So perfect. www.ft.com/content/221c...
Note that Kavanaugh goes out of his way to name Ginsburg and O'Connor as the authors of Court's opinions in US v. Virginia and Miss. Univ. for Women v. Hogan, but then he omits the key "exceedingly persuasive" description they both used to describe the high demand of int. scr. in sex discrim. cases.
Evan Bernick, a finite mode with a smol hooman and a lorg floofSotomayor over here like, did you read these cases?!
A benefit of doing talk radio hits like this: One is unlikely to be asked questions like "but didn't Wurman quite obviously misread what Henry St. George Tucker said about the governing law and didn't the Thomas opinion you find powerful rely on that misreading?" cc @evanbernick.bsky.social
Anthony Michael KreisRandy Barnett won’t say what research he did before the NYT op-ed, but says here Wurman and Lash convinced him. Sure sounds like his slapped his name on something he did no work on. Randy Barnett: Birthright Citizenship Decision Is Vulnerable to Reversal morninganswerchicago.com/randy-barnet...
