Hey folks:

I'm one of a group of founding era historians who signed on to an amicus brief for the Supreme Court concerning presidential immunity (and the many ways in which it makes no sense.). It was released to the public today.

You can read it here: www.brennancenter.org/sites/defaul...

The Brennan Center has some excellent people working for it; my SIL used to be one of them. (She's with the Red Cross now.)

Will The justices who say the historical is the most important interpretation of law actually care about history??? Stay tuned to find out!

Thanks for this but I’ve lost faith in SCOTUS following its mission of “ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law.”

Thank you for your service, Madam,to the country and the world frankly! And promptly,Trump released the video,reminding the Justices(!), that HE appointed them, naming each one and that they need "to do what is right for the country for the people,for their own children"... Wow. He IS a mobster.

I’ve been working on it with the Brennan center and Rosemarie Zagarri and others since December. Really happy about how strong it is! Thanks for signing on. Joanne!

I'll be fascinated to read the tortuous contortions Justice Thomas is going to have to twist himself into to disagree with this brief! 🍿🍿
