Buried near the bottom of a Brexit briefing in the Guardian I found this fascinating bit:

The i newspaper reported this week that the Queen sought legal advice on the circumstances in which she can dismiss a prime minister prior to Johnson’s defeat in the supreme court.

Constitutional law was supposed to be boring.

I've been listening to a podcast called "What Trump can Teach Us about Con Law" which is thorough but also amusing.

I'm sure it is--the podcast is Roman Mars of 99% Invisible and his neighbor, a constitutional law professor.

I *prefer* it when constitutional law is boring!

Yes, constitutional law 'ought' to be boring: if not, it's because of living in 'interesting times'.

C'mon, Liz, put up or shut up!
