Never forget: Just because something is "the law" doesn't make it a *just* law. Did you know that it was illegal to be Jewish in Nazi Germany, and illegal to be black in America for most of American history? Civil disobedience against unjust laws is true justice.

"This is the “crime” for which people are being separated from their toddlers at the border in the new Sessions policy. The idea is to throw people in jail or prison, then deport them. Even before family separation came into the picture, it struck me as a completely cruel and insane policy meant to really twist the knife on desperate people risking their lives trekking across the desert or the sea to make it here...

Also in the Sentencing Commission report: of those people with immigration cases in federal criminal court in 2017, 96 percent were Hispanic. More than 93 percent were male. Nearly 80 percent had less than a high school education. And all for what? To punish those most desperate to be here?"

So the whole idea “courts get to decide if laws are valid or not” thing was really just… one day a guy decided that was how it was going to be, and everyone else kept following him. I hope that works out for us.

As far as I can tell, the Supreme Court decided Brown, and took it upon itself to oversee forcing schools to integrate for about 20 years, and then it just… stopped? Cool.

It’s only been a couple generations since we were basically fine with internment camps!!! And Korematsu was… never… overturned???

Weird that it’s fine for laws to be racist as long as some guy doesn’t yell from the legislature or city council floor “WE’RE DOING THIS BECAUSE WE’RE RACIST!!!”

Man, have you ever read some of the cases our whole immigration law precedent is based on?

Note to self: Never put anything in your car. Like, ever. (Especially if anything = drugs or guns!) Never put anything in anyone else’s car. Preferably just never get in a car.

Is there a land use case in the whole darn casebook that isn’t at its heart about keeping either poor or black people out of the neighborhood? (No.)

[*takes one family law class*] Hoo boy… never get married. And if you have to get married, never get divorced.
