Good morning! The Liberty Movement is either 50 years old or nearly 250 years old or perhaps as old as Magna Carta, depending on your view of history. Regardless of its age, we are overdue for a daily industry newsletter that tracks the comings and goings of those who make up the movement, the accomplishments of the movement, where we’ve been, and where we are going, what we’re reading, what we’re writing, what we’re listening to, etc. We’ll start barebones and then see where we go. If you like this idea, please let me know at Mark@Millerappellate.com. Also if you have news you want me to share, email me at that same address and I’ll try to get it in the next daily update if it fits what we’re doing here. If you don’t like this idea, then keep it to yourself. On with the show…
First up: Movers and Shakers
Movers and Shakers
Congratulations to … who? Send me your tips and news about people taking new positions in the movement. This is where I need your input!
What We’re Reading
Supreme Court is Asked to Hear a New Admissions Case on Race- The NY Times has this deep dive into Pacific Legal Foundation’s latest petition for writ of certiorari that is the next case to address affirmative action — this time in high school education, as it relates to Thomas Jefferson High School in Northern Virginia. Joshua Thompson of PLF says “this is the next frontier.”
Law & Liberty has a symposium on the “Freedom Conservatives” that elaborates via five essays on the Statement of Principles published a bit over a month ago by Avik Roy and a few hundred other conservative thought leaders. The symposium is well worth reading and is available here:
What We’re Listening To
Not So Peachy: Trump’s Georgia Indictment: Professor Richard Epstein is no fan of President Trump, and that’s why his commentary - which often criticizes Trump’s opponents for overreaching rather than simply criticizing a target he sees as ripe for criticism - is so worthwhile. Check out his latest on the Georgia indictment
here.
Final Shot
Thoughts for all of us as we make the country a better place.
