Jason Stanley: “It’s not going to affect me, but no noncitizen professor at my institution can speak about politics ever again. Half my colleagues are not U.S. citizens. They can never speak about politics again.”

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump
Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump).
• Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges.
• Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side.
• A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush.
• The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

Happy to share that our paper on constitutional loyalty, jointly written with #JergGutmann and #RoeeSarel is available open access here:

COVID hit all countries at about the same time and in similar ways which enables us to elicit constitutional loyalty across countries.

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated.

The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west).

In one exam, instead of giving students my usual True/False questions, I gave students the questions together with ChatGPT’s responses and asked them to identify what was right (almost nothing beyond restating the prompt), what was wrong, and how so.
