    1/2 FWIW, since this seems to be provoking bifurcated reactions, I'll just say that I think this sort of feedback can be useful *if carefully calibrated to the student.* For most students it would be discouraging and demotivating and therefore should not be done. But ...

    I *think* this is the first time the Court has granted "certiorari before judgment" (before a Court of Appeals could rule) to a non-governmental party since 1988 (when it granted such relief in Mistretta to a criminal defendant challenging the Federal Sentencing Guidelines).

    It was really important to me that this piece appear in , because people need to have their assumptions challenged and recognize the need for cross-ideological cooperation. The response has been ... underwhelming compared to other pieces I've written. People love red meat.

    My new one , praising Federalist Society members, right-leaning judges, and others for standing up for the rule of law and election integrity. (Really!)
