Three Events on Section 3 in Boston
A debate, a panel, and a lecture.
I recently completed a swing through Boston, with three events on Section 3.
First, I debated Jed Shugerman at Boston University, moderated by Gary Lawson.
Second, I had a panel with Jeff Pokorak at Suffolk Law School. The event was styled as a Supreme Court roundup, but most of the discussion gravitated to Trump v. Anderson:
Third, I gave a lecture on Section 3, with extended Q&A, at Boston College:

The real issue here--"insurrection"--are courts really equipped to deal with the fact-finding necessary to establish that?
Yes.

Josh, don't take this the wrong way. But there are some older photos of you with short hair and you look so much better. A haircut, an exercise regimen and some sun would do you wonders. It would probably improve your academic and scholarly work too.
I don't necessarily agree with the legal position of Mr Blackman on this issue. But I respect him for advocating it. I respect the time, effort and 'work' that went into it.
And I respect that despite hostility in the comments, he keeps sharing and posting these videos.
If somehow the Sup Ct kicks the CO case back on a reversal because of this argument [which team trump led with on appeal]..well then... objectively I would conclude that he deserves what then would be respect. And if Trump somehow wins re election despite being an oath breaking lying piece of dog shit insurrectionist... we will have someone we can credibly say is responsible for it.
I'm not sure that's the kind of recognition he's looking for...
My wife would kill me if she knew I was offering sartorial advice, but the white crew neck t-shirt and no-tie just looks unkempt. V-neck or wife-beater if you're going to nix the tie at any point during the day, which for me is inevitable--I hate wearing ties.
