1/50 This is a one-stop-shop thread for all the states in our #50Weeks50Constitutions series.
Remember, the threads are in chronological order of oldest state constitution. First up, New Hampshire:
1. Before the “united States of America” declared their independence in July 1776, a few of them had pretty much done that already by adopting their own written constitutions. The first one was New Hampshire, on January 5 of that year. #50Weeks50Constitutions

This morning at the 10th Circuit Bench & Bar Conference we have former Solicitors General Elizabeth Prelogar & Noel Francisco. For those playing SCOTUS argument bingo, Ms. Prelogar just said "mine-run case."

NEWS: In response to a question I asked, Prelogar & Francisco say they are former "Solicitors General" NOT "Solicitor Generals"! They believe grammar compels that answer. However, Prelogar says she did like the justices calling her "General" as it impressed her 2 sons.

Gorsuch gets animated talking about McGirt & Indian law. Says lots of bad, nonoriginalist Indian law out there.

Much attention on the symbolism of the Xi visit. How about this? After-dinner entertainment “Nessun dorma” from Turandot is the aria sung by a man as he waits to find out whether or not he will be executed at the hands of a capricious, cruel member of the Chinese ruling family. Well played!
Truly unbelievable—Here’s another behind the scenes of last nights State Dinner at the @WhiteHouse…

Some crave love from their parents. Others from foreign dictators.
President Trump’s messaging to the world on China.
“Trump broke with six decades of protocol by travelling to Joint Base Andrews to meet Xi upon his arrival. The gesture was all the more striking because Xi did not greet Trump at the airport in Beijing in May.
Just before Xi landed on Wednesday, US personnel got down on hands and knees to smooth out kinks in the red carpet that extended to the steps on which the Chinese leader would descend from his Air China Boeing 747.”

Fourth Circuit holds that officers invaded defendant’s reasonable expectation of privacy when they used a cell-site simulator to collect information about his phone’s location.
The court finds that although “the data collected … provides only a snapshot of an individual’s real-time location, rather than a log of his historical movements,” Chatrie made clear that “duration of the incursion does not impact the reasonableness of an individual’s expectation of privacy.” Court concludes officers needed a warrant, but they are entitled to QI.

Happy Federal Courts Day!
Today we celebrate Article III, the "least dangerous branch."
On this date, September 24, 1789, the Judiciary Act was enacted, which created the structure & jurisdiction of the federal courts & much of which remains with us today.
