Greetings, faithful patrons of the SJ Hotel! While the world spins ever onward into chaos—March 21 2025, if you’re keeping score—I find myself planted firmly in Knoxville, Tennessee, sipping a cold Diet Dr. Pepper and contemplating the meaning of life. Or at least the meaning of not burning vacation days on a boat with 3,000 ..read more

It’s bad enough, if unsurprising, that the non-lawyers in the Trump administration, like Karoline Leavitt, spew nonsense designed to make people stupider about law. After all, they’re regurgitating what they’re told, and when they’re told nonsense, they spew nonsense. But the attorney general of the United States, Pam Bondi, is a lawyer. Attorney General Bondi ..read more

Merely a few days ago, Trump called criticism of judges “totally illegal” in a speech before a hand-picked group of loyalists at the Department of Justice. But that was a few days ago. This was yesterday. If you fail to see any issues with this twit, stop reading. You don’t belong here. While Musk has ..read more

I suspect the same may be true for many of you, although I’ve no doubt that there will be someone who believes they know everything there is to know about it. According to its website, it exists by “unique ..read more

Before moving forth to the nuts and bolts, let’s clear the air. Mahmoud Khalil is not in this country on a visa. Rather, he is a legal permanent resident (aka LPR) of the United States. The government pretty much* concedes that he is an LPR in the Notice to Appear filed with the Immigration Court ..read more

Twenty-seven year old Saint Anselm college graduate Karoline Leavitt possesses the two most important qualifications for serving as press secretary to the president. First, she’s loyal. Second, she’s shameless. This isn’t to say these are bad things, at least as far as being press secretary goes, but the one thing she is not is a ..read more

There is a maxim, Inter arma enim silent leges, meaning “In times of war, the law falls silent.” Its embodiment is in the last remaining vestige of the dreaded Alien and Sedition Acts, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which authorizes a president, in times of war, to take action against the soldiers of a ..read more

When it was about representing Trump, the left had no qualms about vilifying the lawyers who would deign to defend such a bad man. If they did so unethically or criminally, fair enough, but if they did so ethically and within the bounds of the law, they were wrong. That’s what lawyers do, represent people ..read more

Prefatory Note: Look, I didn’t ask for this. Nobody wakes up thinking, “Today’s the day my eye turns into a weepy, crusty traitor.” But here we are, and since I’m stuck with it, you’re stuck with me telling you about it. Blame the universe, or maybe that sketchy gas station burrito. Either way, buckle up—CLS ..read more
