Merrick Garland is the worst AG in the history of this nation, bar none.



It was such a pleasure to work with the @UChiLRev editors. They were so careful and thorough, and made the article much better!

In their Article, @michaelmorley11 and @AndyHessick call for the abandonment, or at least serious modification, of associational standing.

A great quick read that raises the important question of how a methodology can be right when it depends on resources (or tech) that aren’t available.

Serious question: could congress make it an impeachable offense to serve as a justice for more than x years?

NEW: Joe Biden plans on Monday to call for major Supreme Court reforms, likely including term limits and an enforceable ethics code. He’s also expected to push for a constitutional amendment limiting presidential immunity: politico.com/news/2024/07/2…



A great thread about bad assumptions based on where statutes appear in the us code. Meta rules about statutes are important and often unknown.

Question about Cannon’s treatment of 28 USC 533 in the documents case.  🧵   Smith relies for his authority on, among other laws, sec. 533, which allows the AG to “appoint officials to detect and prosecute crimes.” Cannon rejects that source of authority, in part because …



Ironically, the immunity decision shares important features with Roe. A constitutional decision establishing three categories not found anywhere in the text of the constitution.


I wonder if Northwestern will argue associational standing should be overturned


Loper is such a head fake on the constitution. It starts out like it’s going constitutional, then it goes statutory. Then in part IV it looks like it’s going to follow the erie playbook by raising stare decisis. But it then again bails on the con law question.

Kavanaugh’s opinion is comprehensive and clears up some issues re standing law that needed clarifying. It will be a go-to source for quotes in the future.

The Supreme Court's first decision of the day is FDA v. AHM! Justice Kavanaugh unanimously holds that the anti-abortion plaintiffs in this case lack standing to challenge the FDA's regulations allowing access to mifepristone for medication abortion. supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…

Just posted a short piece with @mweidemaier on the judgment power, contracts, and sovereign debt. It argues parties cannot use contracts to modify judgments, though they can use contracts to limit enforcement. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…


Not funny.

Working on this case was an incredibly gratifying teaching experiences. I saw students realize that they were helping make law; that it wasn’t all abstract; and that quotes they found and phrases they turned could make a difference.

Congratulations to the @unc_law Supreme Court Program on their win before #SCOTUS today in McElrath v. Georgia @AndyHessick and Rick Simpson from @WileyRein lead the program & they've done an excellent job turning our students into appellate litigators! law.unc.edu/news/2023/08/c…



Attended oral argument at Australia’s High Court today. Captivating discussion from first principles about the nature of error and harmlessness.
