“The dream of legal transformation through the federal courts has been killed.” @Roosevelt_House
Tiny bit of good news. Whether it actually makes a difference to offset philosophical, partisan, and institutional trends against addressing the needs of poor people during mass incarceration will require future study.
SCOOP: Judiciary OKs new Supreme Court defender office to help represent indigent defendants at #SCOTUS. Its full-time director will serve as counterweight to the U.S. solicitor general in federal criminal cases. The first will be former Kagan clerk and SG atty Ashley Robertson.
First time I’ve had a book shouted out at a commencement. Thank you @DeanEboniNelson! @UConnLaw @DTheImpossible
Love being back in my office. @BU_Law
District Attorney Joe Briley put some 40 people on Georgia's death row. Steve Bright and @southerncenter showed how Briley exploited the unequal justice system to do so, manufacturing all-white juries and defeating overmatched court-appointed lawyers. @DTheImpossible
Thanks to @InTheDetailsPod for mentioning @DTheImpossible!
Deeply unfortunate they were worried about discussing racial and gender disparities in the administration of the death penalty. #DemandTheImpossible

“I believe that wounded justice, lying prostrate on the blood-flowing streets of our nations, can be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men.” — Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech
I spoke with @robertltsai on the Democratic Constitution Podcast about his book, "America's Forgotten Constitutions." Robert covers various constitutional projects and reflects on how discussions about the Constitution have changed over the last decade. …mocraticconstitutionblog.substack.com/publish/posts/…
Good to see some colleagues and listen to Justice Sotomayor for a bit.
On Friday, 10/24, BU Law had the honor of hosting United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor as speaker of the Annual Shapiro Lecture. Justice Sotomayor was joined by her former law clerk, Cesar Lopez-Morales (’14). Read more from BU Today ⬇️ spr.ly/601178wNb
Everyone who cares about the Constitution should do everything in their power to stop executions by nitrogen hypoxia. Anthony Boyd, the 8th person killed by Alabama using this method, gasped for air 225 times on the gurney before he died. #deathpenalty bit.ly/49eVDLK
Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account: treadbylee.com/p/after-justic…
“In 1989, [Justice] Powell's committee produced a set of recommendations [to restrict habeas corpus], which Senator Strom Thurmond introduced as legislation … Aides on Capitol Hill had a nickname for the project: ‘Fry Them Faster.’” amzn.to/45LFzNg
My new essay (with @BojanBugaric) for @DemJournal: “How long can judicial resistance last when it is to come from unelected lower court judges, if it comes at all? We believe that the momentary flurry of judicial activity is fool’s gold.”
