My first contribution to Law & Liberty lawliberty.org/redeeming-the-…. Joining the conversation by invitation of @JamesWilsonInst. Responds to Prof. David Forte’s counsel to use “correct” originalism rather than join the ranks of Hadley Arkes, @josh_hammer, and others who call for a /1
Terrific essay by my friend, @RebeiroBradley. His work on Frederick Douglass is novel and important.
My latest in @Deseret. It is a digestible 2k words for those who want to understand a bit more about Frederick Douglass’s unique method of constitutional interpretation. Adapted from a portion of my forthcoming book on FD and constitutional abolitionism. deseret.com/magazine/2025/…

I enjoyed lecturing today at the Constitutional Literacy Institute @CCSUVU! They are doing great work educating teachers who are at the frontlines of providing a civic education to the rising generation.
Day 4 of the Constitutional Literacy Institute for #K12 teachers featured discussions (presenters) of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 (@verlanlewis); 𝗦𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (@quilldir), and 𝗖𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹…
Great work by one of my BYU Law colleagues being highlighted. Fascinating study on the practice of granting warrants in Utah
This is a super-cool article looking at 33,000+ search warrant applications filed electronically in Utah to figure out how long it takes to review warrant applications, how often they are granted, and the like. harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-138/… #N

"Appealing Temporary Restraining Orders" by Morgan Bronson, @white_wesl1049, & me. We argue the rule barring appeals from TROs came from a now-repealed statute requiring the appealed-from interlocutory order to be issued "upon a hearing." Comments welcome! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
Gratitude & applause to the amazing @lsolum, who has not only done defining work on originalism (& other things), but who also organizes, curates, comments on, improves, & promotes academic work in law. A massive public service, done with unfailing generosity & kindness.
Given what is happening across government agencies, it seems appropriate to post a new paper by @creelanejones, Thomas Smith, and I called "Testing the Independence Hypothesis," forthcoming 2025 in the @AdLawReview. (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…) 1/

Today, Justice Thomas cited my article, Anachronistic Readings of Section 1983, in dissent, expressing desire for "further examination ... as to whether §1983 can provide ... a cause of action." My article (papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…) argues that, as an original matter, it did not!
We’re now in the fourth session of the 2025 Salmon P. Chase Faculty Colloquium, diving into a thought-provoking discussion on constitutional rights, the scope of the police power, and the enforceability of natural rights. @Liberty_Fund
