Republicans in Georgia historically lose the early vote and win the election day vote, making up the difference. We are down today by 110,000 votes. Unless you want Georgia run like California and New York, get yourself to the polls and vote. @GaRepublicans
Stay tuned for up-to-date polling information coming this week.

Eventually disputes will be submitted to AI arbitration because it will be faster, cheaper and much, much more predictable.
I'm taking an interesting class this quarter called AI in Appellate Practice and Judicial Decision Making, taught by an active judge. I'm getting a lot of really cool insights I haven't gotten before because my previous classes or conversations about AI and the law have been with lawyers, professors, law students, or other legal practitioners. Today, we ran a test where we gave the AI an appellate case record and told it to write the opinion and decide the case. The court's opinion/ruling was unpublished, so our agents couldn't find it or know what the court held. Funny enough, 17/17 of our AI opinions affirmed the trial court's decision—but the real court reversed. Pretty nuts. This is the first time I've had a lens into the judicial system and how AI affects it—super cool. Will update with observations and thoughts as the quarter progresses.

One of the most important priorities of the past two years should have been to break Washington DC’s monopoly over the adjudication of virtually anything that can be connected to the capital, however remotely. The system is totally dysfunctional and fundamentally unfair, whereby anyone who is not a Democrat has no chance of receiving a fair hearing, let alone justice, while Democrats themselves are completely shielded from accountability. That was painfully clear during Trump’s first term, became even more glaring with the January 6 prosecutions, and was illustrated yet again by travesties such as the grotesque $1 million judgment against Mark Steyn for criticizing climate change “research.” The constitutional promise of a fair trial and jury of one’s peers is completely meaningless in DC for anyone who is not on the far left. None of this is new. Many of us have been warning about this problem for years and proposing various ways to address it. Yet, predictably, absolutely nothing has been done, and nothing will be done.
Jury nullification when a Democrat is charged (or there's a failure to issue a bill) and a 100% conviction rate for MAGA people indicted in D.C.

Today I walked into the White House. 🇺🇸 My mission to end child transition worldwide has the backing of the most powerful government on earth. 6 years ago this was a solo fight. Hour upon hour spent on the streets of Canada, next to no support, not knowing a soul in this fight, but never discouraged! I have always known the victories that await. I have always had faith that others would join the cause and in time we would stop this madness, everywhere. Well, we are! 👉🏼 billboardchris.com/world-pro… Much work to be done, but today I'm meeting with leaders at the highest levels of the U.S. government. I've also spoken up for kids at the EU Parliament (twice), the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, and the UN in New York, and been featured (by critics) on the main stage at the World Economic Forum. I've met with members of Congress, testified before the Florida State legislature, helped ban this in Oklahoma, and sat down with lawmakers in the Canadian Parliament and in legislatures from B.C. to Washington, California, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Scotland, England, Israel, and Australia. In Brussels I met elected representatives from a dozen more European countries. I've also been to jail 3 times, been arrested 5 times in 4 countries, had more than 300 visits from police, but never been charged with anything. All arrests were either after I was assaulted, or because I simply refused to yield to an angry mob and police who insisted I leave. The answer to "Will you relinquish your rights to satisfy this violent mob?" will always be NO. I've been assaulted dozens of times, had my arm broken, been mobbed by hundreds, painted on, spat on, car keyed, tires destroyed, and even had a catalytic converter stolen in Oakland. Note to self: don't stay in a cheap hotel in Oakland. Hundreds of houses in my neighborhood have received mail from Antifa, trying to destroy my reputation, but all that did was bring in more support. Normal people don't like when kids are being harmed. I even sued the Australian government when they tried to censor me on X, and won! Mostly, I've spoken with thousands upon thousands of people on the street, in 14 countries, helping parents protect their kids, and reached millions more online. We are winning because we tell the truth: that children are beautiful just as they are, no drugs or scalpels needed! And we are going to stop child transition everywhere, no matter how long it takes. If you wish to support me in this fight, I greatly appreciate your help. Thank you! billboardchris.com/donate

So, about the footnote error… People are treating this Murray-Shaw article like it was ever meant to be intellectually honest or truth-seeking. It wasn’t: it was always meant to be glurge to promote the professors’ ideology. I mean, read a paragraph from the conclusion misusing jargon: “But few such checks have emerged; rather, other government institutions, including the Supreme Court, appear to be paving the patrimonialist path. The Court’s jurisprudential shift has worked to complement the Administration’s efforts to impose a regime of sex-based regulation that reinscribes traditional sex roles and demands conformity with conventional family norms and forms. And, as troublingly, the Court’s retreat from modern sex equality doctrine sidelines a jurisprudence that could serve as a crucial means of checking—and invalidating—the Administration’s authoritarian impulses.” In this view, the Constitution is supposed to promote a radical feminist abortion-and-transgender agenda Just Because and anything else is “authoritarian” attempts to create Handmaids rather than returning policy positions of judicial fiat to the voters. So the authors are right that the footnote is irrelevant, in part because the whole paper is irrelevant. It’s about ideological power, not law. The authors didn’t read the sources and draw an incorrect conclusion that would’ve changed their analysis. They started with the ideological conclusion Owning The Cons, wrote in “[[ADD CITE]],” and some research assistant who shares the ideology did a sloppy job plugging in sources that ultimately contradicted the claim, and nobody did a deep dive finding out otherwise in one footnote out of hundreds. If it had been caught, the paper wouldn’t have materially changed; there would be a different footnote with more intellectually dishonest ideological sources replacing the truthful scientific ones contradicting the ideological aside. There’s a reason judges rarely rely on law review articles any more. Sure, there’s occasionally a piece with innovative ideas or substantive historical or empirical research or economic analysis. But far too much of it is like the underlying podcast of the authors—an intellectually dishonest whine of rage that the population and judiciary disagrees with their ideological agenda, only examined within a bubble of other academics who also agree. (I didn’t see any conservatives thanked in the opening notes of professors who reviewed the paper. But that would require law schools to hire conservative professors in the first place, and not drum out the Amy Waxes of the world.) No one was ever going to change their mind because of this article. It was always meant as an op ed. Maybe a judge who shared the ideological blinders would cite it, but not because they were interested in the truth, but because it wore a skin suit of academic support for an indefensible position that they wanted to propound. Link to paper: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10…
Pretty insane to me that patently absurd, and obviously ideological misrepresentation of sources by two of the biggest hacks in legal academia flew right under the radar of one of the few PEER REVIEWED law journals in the country.

BREAKING: Federal authorities raid a Beverly Hills mansion in connection with an investigation involving former Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, Fox News has learned. The search comes after the FBI searched Swalwell's Washington, D.C., home in August and seized his electronic devices at San Francisco International Airport. Swalwell resigned from Congress and dropped his California gubernatorial bid following multiple sexual misconduct allegations, including accusations from a former staffer. The latest raid follows another development involving newly declassified FBI records about Swalwell's relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative.

It will be tough for them to compete with $1 million bounty
EXC: Obama campaign veterans are recruiting lawyers to help get election posts TAKEN DOWN before the midterms. The organization is Voter Protection Corps. Its recruitment notice spells out the attorneys’ role: “lending legal credibility to formal removal requests.” Volunteers flag election content. Attorneys review it and help prepare requests for platforms to remove it. They already tested the process. VPC’s report describes a 2025 operation with platform-specific removal templates and an attorney available to “add his name to post removal requests.” Now the group wants social-media monitoring treated as: “core election infrastructure.” Alongside it: permanent networks of trusted messengers and “prebunking” campaigns designed to reach voters BEFORE they encounter claims the organization expects to challenge. The people behind the operation include founder Quentin Palfrey, who led voter-protection work for Obama’s 2008 Ohio campaign, and strategist Tim Karpoff, an Obama campaign and administration veteran. Recruitment partners include Lawyers for Good Government and We The Action. The latter operates within Civic Nation, whose board is chaired by Valerie Jarrett. The money trail includes a $341,000 grant from Sixteen Thirty Fund to VPC’s advocacy arm in 2020 and a separate $50,000 grant from New Venture Fund to its foundation in 2024. Those filings do not identify the current monitoring program as the grants’ purpose. VPC calls its voter-protection work nonpartisan. Its documents nevertheless establish a concrete operation to monitor election speech, organize responses and enlist lawyers in seeking removals. And the plan extends beyond November: year-round monitoring capacity, with preparations for 2028 beginning after the 2026 results.

L'immense écrivain russe érigé en apôtre de la vertu et de la bonté chrétienne a fait vivre un enfer domestique à son épouse avant de l'écarter en secret de son héritage littéraire. Dans l'histoire de la littérature mondiale, Léon Tolstoï est le géant de Guerre et Paix et d'Anna Karénine. À la fin de sa vie, l'auteur s'est imposé comme une conscience morale planétaire, prêchant la pureté, la chasteté et le renoncement aux biens matériels. Mais derrière la barbe du vieux sage vénéré se cachait un mari d'une cruauté psychologique redoutable. Tout commence la veille même de ses noces en 1862, lorsqu'il a trente-quatre ans et que sa fiancée, Sofia Behrs, n'en a que dix-huit. Au nom d'une prétendue franchise morale, Tolstoï oblige la jeune fille à lire l'intégralité de ses carnets intimes de jeunesse. Sofia y découvre avec horreur les récits détaillés de ses débauches et des abus sexuels commis sur les paysannes serves de son domaine de Iasnaïa Poliana, notamment une jeune femme de chambre nommée Gacha. Pendant quarante-huit ans de mariage, Sofia sacrifie absolument tout au génie de son mari. Elle met au monde treize enfants, dont cinq meurent en bas âge, tout en gérant seule l'immense domaine agricole, les comptes et les éditeurs. C'est elle qui travaille la nuit à la lueur d'une bougie pour déchiffrer les brouillons illisibles de l'écrivain. Elle recopie notamment à la main le manuscrit monumental de Guerre et Paix à sept reprises. Pourtant, pendant qu'il prêche la continence sexuelle dans ses livres comme La Sonate à Kreutzer, Tolstoï continue d'imposer ses désirs à sa femme épuisée par les grossesses, avant de lui reprocher dans ses carnets d'être un obstacle à son élévation spirituelle. Cette hypocrisie est documentée par les journaux intimes croisés des deux époux, intégralement conservés et publiés. Tout au long de ses carnets, Sofia Tolstoïa dénonce avec désespoir le double visage de son mari, soulignant le contraste permanent entre la bonté universelle qu'il affiche dans ses livres et la froideur impitoyable qu'il réserve à sa propre famille. À la fin de sa vie, sous l'influence de son disciple Vladimir Tchertkov, Tolstoï souhaite faire tomber l'ensemble de son œuvre dans le domaine public, au nom de son idéal de pauvreté. Pour contourner sa femme qui s'y oppose afin de protéger l'avenir matériel de leurs enfants, l'écrivain rédige en cachette un testament en juillet 1910, dissimulé au cœur de la forêt. Il y désigne leur fille cadette Alexandra comme unique héritière légale de ses droits littéraires, avec pour mission de libérer ses textes de toute exclusivité, privant ainsi Sofia du fruit de quarante-huit années de labeur acharné. Poussée à bout par ces manœuvres secrètes et la présence constante des disciples qui la traitent en ennemie dans sa propre maison, Sofia sombre dans le désespoir et tente à plusieurs reprises de mettre fin à ses jours. En octobre 1910, Tolstoï s'enfuit définitivement de chez lui en pleine nuit. En apprenant son départ au matin, Sofia tente de se noyer dans l'étang du domaine avant d'être repêchée par ses proches. Lorsque l'écrivain agonise quelques jours plus tard dans la petite gare d'Astapovo, ses disciples interdisent à son épouse d'entrer dans la chambre. Elle n'est autorisée à l'approcher que lorsqu'il a déjà perdu connaissance. L'homme qui voulait aimer l'humanité entière a méthodiquement broyé la seule personne qui avait sacrifié sa vie pour lui permettre d'écrire ses chefs-d'œuvre.

Defending trans ideology makes smart people stupid, scrupulous people unscrupulous, and honest people into liars. Once you see it, you can never unsee it -- and you will never not see it, because it is always, without exception, what happens. It cannot be otherwise because defending the most self-evident bullshit ever enshrined into law is beyond the capacities of even the most brilliant person, and there is no way to persist in it without recourse to sophistry and lies. When you tell someone deeply invested in their own goodness that membership in the sorority of the good requires them to defend the worst nonsense of the age, the result is always a scandal of some dimension. This is the most comically picayune of all such scandals, but it shares in common many key aspect of the great ongoing scandals that has left thousands of confused children sexually dysfunctional, sterilized, and on a medical leash for life (in addition to being explicitly aimed at the propagation of that scandal.)
Melissa Murray taught at UC Berkeley when I was there and she was one of my favorite professors. Fantastic teacher and was clearly brilliant. Really surprising to see her do this to be honest.

Frank Gagliano was a college quarterback. After his career, he was hired to start a football team at a high school. While waiting, he coached track. They never started the football team. Gags went on to become one of the greatest American distance coaches in history: 15 Olympians, 140 All-Americans, 43 sub-4 milers. He passed away this week. We often think that you've got to have done it or experienced it to coach it. Gags was never a runner. He just wanted to coach, the true essence of the word, helping people out. “I don’t have golf clubs. I have a stopwatch." And like the best 'old school' coaches, he'd help whoever showed up. I was a former high school phenom, struggling in college. Then I got a call from an unknown number. "Steve. We've never met. It's Gags with the Farm Team. I just wanted you to know that you're great. Talent doesn't go away. Stick with it. You've got people who believe in you. If I can ever help, let me know." He called a struggling 19-year-old out of nowhere, while running the best professional team in the country. In an era where training got really complicated, Gags kept it simple. His philosophy was strength + speed, consistently for a long freaking time. “Everyone has to be patient in development. Everyone has to enjoy the sport, have a lot of fun, and work really hard.” More than the workouts, his real secret was the one every great coach shares. Relationships. His son Ralph put it best: “As a track coach, you have very large teams, many participants, and he carried over the years very special relationships — not only with the great ones, but even with the ordinary athlete.” He was still coaching into his late 80s. “As long as my mind is in the sport for workouts, so I don’t deprive the men and women that I’m coaching, I’ll keep coaching.” And this summer, at 89, when they named a national championship race after him, “I’m not a cocky man. I’m the guy that just coaches, and the athletes mean everything to me, everything.” He was a coach’s coach. Someone who lost his first meet 112 to 15, and then went on to become an all-time great...despite never having run. Because the point was to help people....even those he didn't coach. RIP Gags.
