- Having some trouble detecting my choices here for how they share my data. May 27, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- I think Qui Tam is unquestionably constitutional if only because of its ancient pedigree, and for many other reasons too. But the Supreme Court has flirted with saying that qui tam relators do not have standing, and Scalia & Co came close to doing it in the Lujan case. Justice Kennedy prevented it.

- This sort of well-funded sham support to undermine Democrats by promoting terrible candidates in primaries is just poisoning the (already rather polluted) well of democracy. It's a pity shame is on life support. OTOH, given Paxton, it seems as if the GOP can shoot itself without help. May 27, 2026 Michael Froomkin

Yalies For the Impeachment of Bush and Cheney
Two of my college classmates, Ralph Lopez and Mark Konick, have set up a new web site, Yalies for the Impeachment of George Bush and Richard Cheney.
The site proclaims,
With great privilege comes great responsibility
If not us, who? If not now, when?

Their full manifesto is reproduced below.

Lies, Lies, Lies
Here’s a tip for Bush Administration cronies: if you are going to lie under oath, on the record, with a video camera in your face, don’t lie about something for which there is documentary evidence directly contradicting your statements. It makes you look unprepared, panicked and sloppy.
Impeach Gonzales
- Daschle Calls Abu a Liar
- Depends On What The Definition Of Program Is
- Rep. Harman: White House Never Sought Approval For ‘Other Intelligence Activities’
- Contempt For Gonzales
- Alberto “Fredo” Gonzales — So What is Bush Saying?
- Impeach him, charge him with perjury, hold him in contempt … just do something
- Impeach Abu Already
It's unanimous.
