This pardon of Hunter Biden better be the first of a huge flurry of commutations. There are so many cases even more deserving than this one that the Pardon Attorney has recommended granting, and they're just waiting for Biden's signature.

Thrilled to welcome Alexis today to talk about an aspirational and provocative proposal!
Excited to discuss my forthcoming article Universal Public Defense with @klevine02’s Abolition class today @CardozoLaw. It asks what impact the abolition of private defense counsel would have on the criminal adjudication system.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and California Suite won her Oscars, but this line reading from Downton Abbey made her iconic. RIP to the great Maggie Smith.
