- Probable Emoluments clause violations: governments using Trump crypto to funnel money to Trump. Prob not an emoluments violation: A govt giving an airplane to the US for govt use & then to a non-profit presidential library foundation. PS: I co-wrote 10 emoluments amicus briefs vs. Trump 2017-2019
- David Souter is perhaps the most underrated, underappreciated Justice in modern US history. A careful non-ideological moderate who cared sincerely about precedent and historical evidence. He wrote modestly, more light than heat. Rest in prudence.
