Zuckerberg Proves Meta Is Too Big - The American Prospect

One monopoly company should not have the power to decree which speech is permissible and which isn’t.

New Article alert! The End of Means-End Scrutiny, now on SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… The Court is widely and discreetly abandoning means-end scrutiny, transforming rights and judicial review in the process. Feedback welcome! My two-week old editor says it's a must read :)

The brilliant Marc Kalani’s new short audio doc on death penalty mitigation work, a story about how humanity transcends, and seeing humans where the system sees monsters. Worth many listens

Absolutely true: whoever is mute about Congressional abdication should not complain about Supreme Court action. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Opinion: Angry about the Supreme Court? Blame Congress

Congress has tied its own hands when it comes to legislating, leaving a power vacuum the justices have filled eagerly.

Thrilled my article, Reconstructing State Republics, is out in @FordhamLRev! This piece was born of a deep concern with how undemocratic state practices are impeding national democratic governance—a problem that grew critical in the '20election and now threatens Congress’s agenda

Replying to @FordhamLRev
Today's national political dysfunction is rooted in states that are devolving into modern aristocracies, @f_procaccini writes in a new Article. Congress can—and should—use the reset button built into the Constitution: the Guarantee Clause. fordhamlawreview.org/wp-cont…
