Hello from the annual convention of the American Constitution Society, a major gathering for liberal lawyers, law profs, and judges. Are you here? Come say hello! #ACS2019
Judge Carlton Reeves just got a rousing standing ovation at #ACS2019. You may know Reeves's name from the current legal fight over Miss.'s abortion laws: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil… and a speech he gave comparing Trump's criticism of the courts to the KKK: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Reeves introduced Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative, who is getting a lifetime achievement award. Reeves described Stevenson's SCOTUS argument in Miller v. Alabama (challenging mandatory life sentences for juveniles) and highlighting some of his famous quotes
One of Stevenson's most famous quotes: "Each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done." If that sounds familiar, it may be because Maria Butina's lawyer quoted it at her sentencing hearing: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
