Every lawyer/lawprof should read this important new @YaleLJournal article by my colleague @AvielRebecca & @sturmCOL '23 grad Wiley Kersh. State legislatures are deterring litigation w/ threat of catastrophic attorneys fees- see TX abortion legislation & CA gun legislation. More⬇️
Replying to @YaleLJournal
In their Article, @AvielRebecca (@UofDenver) and Wiley Kersh (@UofDenver) consider S.B. 8’s novel fee-shifting regime and argue that it threatens the values of access to courts and fairness that undergird our legal system: yalelawjournal.org/article/t…

The thing about cats is that every cat has a huge personality. You never meet a cat and then later think "ehhh he was just kind of there." Cats let you know who they are. For example here's Lucky in a sink. #caturday

35 years ago last night, my mother, brother and I landed at JFK on a long Lufthansa flight. My father had gone ahead of us; our mom didn't know if we had utensils at our new home, so she asked our flight attendant if we could keep the cutlery. She quietly said yes.

No, I think these are very different. "Treat everyone as well as white people" (a paraphrase of the Civil Rights Act of 1866) acknowledges that some people are currently NOT treated as well as white people. Otherwise there'd be no need for the legislation in the first place.
