1/ One year ago, @ProfLeonard_ISU, @DrToddACurry, and I began an ambitious #52courts52weeks project to share information about a different state supreme court each week. And 52 courts later, we have learned so much about these fascinating institutions.

A new project for a new year: Each week in 2019, @DrToddACurry, @ProfLeonard_ISU, and I will profile a different state supreme court in the United States. We’ll start this Friday with the First State, Delaware!

Because of the Jewish holiday, I was offline for the first two days of the current horror, so I missed some of the worst of this, but I've seen the vitriol that my Muslim friends have received. Talking about Muslims the way Hamas talks about Jews will help no one, and hurt many.

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain.
