In "Using Bruen to Overturn New York Times v. Sullivan," @msmith750 and @xanderrhetoric write, "There is reason to think that the Court may seek to apply this historical tradition approach beyond the Second Amendment context . . .

Writing for @CreditSlips, the #FinanceLaw scholar #AdamLevitin admits to feeling a bit of schadenfreude in that moment. The "blue collar" law scholars in "grubby" banking and money fields have always treated the conlaw set as "slightly clueless toffs":

This is such an excellent and timely piece from @sangpillai on what Australian citizenship means post 9/11: “Post-9/11 Australia has pushed a tradition of exclusion to constitutional extremes”

“Ultimately, unable to reach agreement on these things, they simply left citizenship out. The Constitution says nothing direct about what it means to be Australian, when a person is entitled to Australia’s protection, or who can claim to ‘belong’ to Australia.”
“While the framers could not agree on who belonged in the Australian constitutional community, they did express a clear and united desire to be able to comprehensively exclude people who were not of ‘British race’.”
