More than ten years ago, our creator and host, Stewart Harris, saw Elon Musk speak at Stewart's son's graduation from Caltech. Says Stewart: "I really admired Elon then. But that was before he became a crazy Trumpster."

Stewart will be on a live legal call-in show this evening from 6:00-7:00 PM, answering questions on constitutional law. The show is called The Weekly Law Roundup. Here’s a link: facebook.com/weeklylawroundu…

Remember that old Schoolhouse Rock episode about how a bill becomes a law? ("I'm just a bill, sittin' here on Capitol Hill"). Well Stewart's made a similar video with East Tennessee PBS that describes the process at the state level. Check it out: lnkd.in/gXuD4nb

"Nebraska Quite The Judicial Thinking Place" is going to be real hard to fit on a license plate @YourWeekly

Stewart was at Blount Mansion yesterday, recording a video for the 225th Anniversary of Tennessee's statehood, when Knoxville's CBS affiliate, WVLT, asked him to explain the 25th Amendment: wvlt.tv/2021/01/08/how-could…

@YourWeekly if anyone ever wanted a lifetime’s worth of a lesson in Constitutional hardball, look no further than Sen Maj Leader @senatemajldr
McConnell, just after the Senate votes to limit debate on Amy Coney Barrett: "A lot of what we’ve done over the last four years will be undone sooner or later by the next election. They won’t be able to do much about this for a long time to come."

@YourWeekly would love a show on the Purcell Principle and how it could impact future elections. Probably not enough time for 2020, but this stuff (and the role Courts play by enjoining such voting legislation) is central to our Constitutional Rep.
By a 5-3 vote, #SCOTUS has put Alabama's ban on curbside voting back into effect, staying a district court injunction that had temporarily allowed localities to pursue such accommodations. Justice Sonia Sotomayor penned a five-page dissent: supremecourt.gov/opinions/20…
