A fan page for Dahlia Lithwick, the rockingest Supreme Court columnist ever ever ever.
A confession?
I have a crush. On a woman I would not be able to identify, even if she were selling aquarium filters door-to-door. Which she wouldn't be, by the way. Because she's wonderful.
You may know her. Her name is Dahlia Lithwick, and our acquaintance has spanned three cities, three apartments and two houses, three jobs, and countless emocore albums. In a perpetually changing universe, her sweet, unerring "Dahlia Lithwick is a Slate senior editor" has been one of only a handful of fixed stars. No matter what case I am working on, what legal argument I am putting together, in the background there is always Dahlia.
This is for her.

those choose life license plates
Are "Choose Life" license plates free speech or state-sponsored infomercials? I'm surprised she hadn't written about this before. (Though her calling it wussy for courts to avoid the merits via lack-of-standing grounds just tears me up inside, because as a government litigator on behalf of various agencies, I have a certain stand I must often take with regards to standing.)
