Will SCOTUS really go this insanely far?

Mourning opportunities lost, a reprise

October 18, 2016

Below the bubbles is a story I wrote in the wake of the 2014 elections and the DFL’s loss of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Equity will not stoop to pick up pins

September 11, 2016

Update, 9/12: The Court went with the laches argument. One of the great things about law school (and there are many; I loved law school) was being introduced to equitable maxims.

October 23, 2014

Republican Secretary of State candidate Dan Severson has obviously taken too many hard carrier landings. It’s causing him to hallucinate about voter fraud.
