"I think there are two things happening and just descriptively it may be useful to separate them out. One thing is that there are incentives for personal judges towrite punchy opinions that can get picked up on social media or be covered in the press. That's more or less a constant; there are always some judges that give in to that unfortunately. A second thing is that a lot of judges are furious at what they see as large-scale lawbreaking by the current executive branch and who see the current situation as unique. A subset of that group is going to write opinions that reflect that. I don't"

"Some are asking: hypothetically if we learn that the affiant committed intentional false statements to get the warrant is there any realistic remedy I take the assumption to be that as a practical matter a referral for criminal prosecution by the U.S. Attorney the usual step would be a non-starter. Under a strong view of Article II the U.S. Attorney won't go against the President's preference on this. And here the President himself appears to be a or the main force behind getting the warrant. What else is available It's also possible a court order the return of property seized under Rule 41."

"One reason I'm skeptical of grand theories of constitutional interpretation is that Supreme Court Justices do not write opinions in most cases. They usually join the opinions of others. This creates a practical way out of a theory in that no one pays much attention when a Justice with one set of theoretical commitments joins opinions based on different commitments reaching results that may be difficult or impossible to justify based on the joining Justice's professed theory. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019889864758456614 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2019889864758456614"

These conversations tend to reflect competing assumptions about what grades are for and I figured it might be helpful to make those competing assumptions explicit.

By analogy if a trial court entered an injunction saying you can't rely on the fact that someone has a gun in deciding whether to stop them I would say that injunction should not be allowed to stand. In some cases having a gun is indeed relevant. But I still wouldn't know how one can answer whether there's reasonable suspicion if a gun is present; it just depends on all the facts"
