On #StPatricksDay2023 I want to shout out to my compatriots from #Ireland producing some of the most incisive, compelling, and agenda-setting scholarship in global constitutional law today. Read them, follow them, connect with them.

A loooong (but very incomplete) thread 🧵

A few quick starting notes for a global audience.
I often think constitutional law research by Irish scholars is so rich because of our unique context, in a constitutional system that has one foot in colonialism and conflict, and one (today) in the rich Global North.

#Ireland's war of independence, civil war, 1922 Constitution, partition, and 1937 Constitution (still in force) sets our experience apart from the gradualist constitutional development of e.g. #Canada, #Australia, #NewZealand, but has commonalities with other states (e.g. India).

1: It's time to claim my space. I was one of just a few journos who held @AndrewLamingMP to account prior to 2021. I lived in Bowman from 2012-2017 and I reported on him via @margokingston1's @NoFibs. AN EVOLVING THREAD on #Laming #LGBTQ equality #Journalism #Books and more.

@NoFibs

2: It began in 2013 when I submitted an article on #MarriageEquality to Margo's #CitizenJournalism news site @NoFibs. Up until then, the site had not really covered that issue, which mattered a lot to me. @MrKRudd had just announced his support for reform: nofibs.com.au/burgewords-on-…

For those new to our work on how the original meaning of the Constitution (including its Amendments), as well as the proper reading of statutory text, lead to progressive results, a thread looking at briefs we @MyConstitution have filed in major #SCOTUS cases over the years...1/x

We have been a leading progressive legal voice across matters facing #SCOTUS since 2008, on issues including defense of #abortion rights, marriage equality, #ACA, affirmative action, right to vote, environmental protection, against #QualifiedImmunity, and more.

For example: 2/x

In defense of #abortion rights, read our brief in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt: theusconstitution.org/litigation/who… 3/x

A friend from Indiana called me upset about the #SCOTUS appointment of #AmyConeyBarrett. My friend’s son attended Trinity School run by #peopleofpraise. Ms Barrett was Trustee until 2017.
Student/Parent handbooks contain anti-LGBTQ, anti-#MarriageEquality language.
#BlockBarrett

Amy Coney Barrett signed letter entitled "Unacceptable," in 2012, attacking the ACA contraception mandate.
As my South Bend friend said, “It is hard to be part of such a small movement/cult and not agree with core positions.” #SCOTUSnominee
#BlockBarrett
s3.amazonaws.com/becketpdf/Unac…

All three People of Praise Trinity Schools, including Greenlawn in South Bend, have a statement of values & behavioral guidance that directly undermines LGBTQ equality.
Marriage between 1 man/1 woman only
“As a former Trinity parent, reading it turned my stomach.”

NEXT WEEK: Senate will vote on the nomination of anti-voting rights judge Andrew Brasher.
Brasher’s anti-voting rights, anti-reproductive rights, anti-worker record is disqualifying for the federal bench. To protect our rights, we must #StopBrasher. lambdalegal.org/in-court/legal…

It’s 2020. We can’t afford to let this administration pack our courts with judges who will rubber-stamp their voter suppression efforts. We must #StopBrasher. bit.ly/AndrewBrasher

11th Circuit nominee Andrew Brasher is a crusading ideologue who has devoted much of his career to attempting to restrict voting rights, #LGBTQ equality, reproductive freedom, environmental protection, & other critical civil & human rights. Senate must #StopBrasher. #CourtsMatter

🚨 Breaking: #PeteButtigieg donated to an anti-LGBT marriage equality candidate per 2012 FEC filings.

Pete’s donation came at a crucial time in the fight for marriage equality.

🎥: #MayorPete-funded candidate Joe Donnelly reiterating his anti-equality position during a debate.

Per the FEC report, the “Donnelly for Indiana” campaign recorded a $409 donation on September 17, 2012 from #PeteButtigieg “Mayor” employed by the “City of South Bend.”

Joe Donnelly campaigned on anti-marriage equality even as the issue gained more support under President Obama.

#PeteButtigieg’s September 17, 2012 donation to an anti-marriage equality candidate needs to be seen in the context of the 2012 push for #MarriageEquality:

On May 9, 2012, Barack Obama told ABC News, “I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”

@SenCoryGardner

I’ve observed Colorado @SenCoryGardner since his election. What I’ve seen has left me dismayed. Rather than building bipartisan bridges to get things done, Cory became a supine Trump yes-man. There are 1000s reasons he shouldn’t be re-elected. Here are 101: #VoteCoryOut #COsen

#1: Even though he was elected by the narrowest of margins in 2014 in a state that has since voted for Hillary in 2016 & a democratic state govt trifecta in 2018, Cory continues to act as if he has a mandate from the white nationalist alt-right. #VoteCoryOut #cosen

#2: Cory Gardner has consistently voted for the extreme Trump agenda. During the 2019-2020 Congress, he’s voted with Trump over 90% of the time. During Trump’s 1st two years, Cory’s voting record was over 95% in line with Trump. #VoteCoryOut #cosen

@sageusa

1/ THREAD: A brief #LGBTHistory for this #Pride. Really FEEL THIS. Prior to the 1970s, being LGBT was ILLEGAL & homosexuality was considered a mental illness. Police would conduct a raid, arrest you, cuff you, humiliate you, then publish your name, address & photo in the paper.

2/ After your name, address & mugshot appeared in your local paper, you’d then be fired from your job. There were no legal protections--which is still true in 28 of 50 states today, but back then it was a near certainty.

3/ And then at Compton’s, at Stonewall, our LGBT forebears fought back. They said “No more" to these police raids on their communities. Along with Vietnam objectors, civil rights activists and feminists, they protested. They were targets. It was dangerous.

A new study had been released documenting the experiences of 9500 gay people and allies during the postal survey. It’s pretty much what you would expect: the survey was a disaster for gay people #auspol #marriageequality

To begin with, 90% of respondents believed the debate would have a negative impact on them. 80% LGBTQ+ people and 60% allies then found the debate ‘incredibly or extremely stressful’

This strain had real consequences: reports of LGBTQ+ people experiencing depression, anxiety and stress increased increased by more than 30% during the postal survey
