As some may have heard, Judge Damon J.Keith, who was a federal judge on the 6th Circuit & prior to that a district court judge, has died. Judge Keith was a civil rights icon. I clerked for Judge Keith and I learned a lot from him. I'll share a couple of those lessons here. 1/11 pic.twitter.com/p3XNrndnbe

Much can & should be said about the long & illustrious career of #JudgeDamonKeith who passed away this morning. But I am thinking right now abt the extraordinary dissent he wrote at age 93 from the 6th Circuit’s 2016 voter purge decision in Husted v A. Phillip Randolph Institute.
