The minutes of silence conclude #ACS2020 #BlackLivesMatter Image
The unrest we are seeing in our streets have been a long time coming. We can't move on, says ACS President @russfeingold #ACS2020 Image

In a new blog post on our expert forum, @MyConstitution’s David Gans explores California v. Texas, the latest attempt in the long-running effort by conservatives to strike down the entire Affordable Care Act bit.ly/3klf20x (1/5)
“Both Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh—who together with the Court’s three more liberal Justices could form a majority—repeatedly stated that it would be inappropriate to strike down the statute as a whole.” (2/5)
Gans argues that while the Roberts Court is deeply conservative, for now it seems unwilling to upend settled legal principles to strike down the ACA. (3/5)

.@espinsegall in the ACS Expert Forum Blog: Judge Amy Coney Barrett stated during her confirmation hearings that she's an originalist, which is meaningless as it relates to interpretation, but suggests that she'll consistently cast conservative votes acslaw.org/expertforum/ju… (1/9)
There are conservative, moderate and liberal judges, but there are no originalist judges, Professor Segall argues (2/9)
In the 1970s and 80s, originalists like Robert Bork were opposed to judges overturning state & federal law absent a clear inconsistency with constitutional text (3/9)

ACS President @russfeingold released this statement as the Senate begins hearings for #SCOTUS nominee Amy Coney Barrett (1/8):
The illegitimate plan to seat another extremely conservative #SCOTUS justice will allow the Right to achieve their ultimate goal: locking down a supermajority that could last for a generation (2/8)
By doing so, the Right will effectively steal the future of the younger generation – and generations to come. This generation will not be able to forge its own way or make manifest the promises in our Constitution (3/8)
