If you missed University of Michigan Law Professor Leah Litman joining me for Substack Live tonight, lucky you, you can still catch us on video! Leah is delightful—she’s great at combining fun and laughter with serious talk about the law and our institutions. We discussed today’s decision in the Alien Enemies Act case, the state of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court, and Leah’s book, Lawless, which is coming out on May 15, and which you can preorder right here. It’s on my list of must reads.

Thanks to everyone who joined us! We enjoyed watching your names, locations, and comments scroll across the screen at a pace that was way too fast to keep up with, but it was lots of fun to try. I was happy to see so many of you joining from Birmingham and other parts of Alabama, counterprogramming Donald Trump’s speech in Tuscaloosa this evening.

Let me know if you’re enjoying the Substack Lives, and if there’s a special guest you’d like to hear from!

We’re in this together,

Joyce
