I appreciate how Clive Stafford Smith, an attorney I met at LDF, talked about Christa's botched execution, her significant trauma as a child (www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...), how the state misleads victim families, and why we should #AbolishCapitalPunishment.

From 1972-1976, LDF secured a historic nationwide moratorium on capital punishment, saving 600+ lives. We commend TN Gov. Lee’s halt of all executions, pending investigation into the botched execution attempt of Christa Pike & urge SCOTUS to do the same.

Also, much as the capital punishment book was doubtless inspired by like, hearing Thurgood Marshall talk about his experience defending capital cases in the South, it's also very likely that he picked up a certain amount of Jewish ethics through osmosis at LDF

This administration refuses to give up its attacks on democracy and the rule of law. You can rest assured: LDF won’t give up, either.

“This administration does not get to redefine citizenship whenever it’s displeased that it didn’t get its way.”

BUT THEN: The Trump administration issued ANOTHER illegal order restricting birthright citizenship.

SO NOW: LDF and our partners have filed ANOTHER lawsuit to defend our Constitution.
October 1, 2026 at 11:50 AM
Here’s what happened:

FIRST: On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an illegal order ending birthright citizenship. LDF and our partners sued just hours later — and we won at the Supreme Court.

The Trump administration is trying to redefine citizenship — again. So the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) is suing — again, to protect those most at risk.

It was an honor to have met your mother at an LDF party given by Julius Chambers in the early 1990s. How wonderful, but not a surprise, that her legacy continues to inspire. 🎆
