Just got a nice note from a former student of mine, studying for the bar, who recalled a mnemonic I gave them in Property. Glad they were listening!
I’m admittedly biased, but I think Catholic Law is one of the most exciting law schools in the country right now
Hiring notice @CathULaw. It's quite a fun and exciting place to be! mirrorofjustice.blogs.com/mirrorofjustic…
Jenn Mascott is a tremendous choice for the Third Circuit. She’s one of the smartest and kindest people I’ve worked with and will be a true leader on the federal bench.
Congratulations to my colleague @jennmascott on her nomination to the Third Circuit ct. of appeals!
A terrific selection by the President. As a Third Circuit alum, I feel confident that my friend and @CathULaw colleague @jennmascott will be an excellent addition to the court! Congrats, Jenn!
Is the nondelegation doctrine still alive or quietly fading? @ChadSquitieri weighs the evidence: loom.ly/XcEnMTU
A great pick for Missouri, which has an impressive history of SGs
Honored to be appointed as the next Missouri Solicitor General by @AGAndrewBailey. His SG Office is already one of the Nation's very best, and I look forward to continuing that work to protect the rights and liberties of Missourians and all Americans.
My thoughts on the Supreme Court’s recent nondelegation decision. @LawLiberty lawliberty.org/nondelegation-…
Super interesting post.
Imposing tariffs doesn’t require an exercise of taxation power, as I explain here (and the law review essay mentioned in the post): yalejreg.com/nc/tariffs-as-…
J. Kavanaugh suggests the MQD is limited to the domestic sphere. This is quite important for the tariff litigation, where challengers seek to extend the MQD to the international sphere. Without the MQD at play, the President's tariff position is significantly stronger.
I've previously contended that the MQD must account for the President's foreign affairs powers.

Perk of growing up in Florida: This weather is more or less my natural habitat. I'm currently sitting outside writing. 😎 🌴
One silver lining to this heat is that the body quickly inures. Mon was ridiculous b/c it was Day 1. Hoo boy, I was hurting. Day 2 was equally hot, but felt better. Today, it was like 90 degrees & a smidge less humid, and it felt like it was 70 and breezy.
New @YaleJREG post explaining why IEEPA empowers the President to impose tariffs. The district court erroneously ruled that tariffs had to be a means of taxation—rather than regulation—and thus read a traditional and familiar means of regulation (tariffs) out of the statute.
It’s Jackson who has the “misunderstanding of the judicial role.” Federal courts are faithful agents of We the People, not Congress. Congress does not make statutes alone; they do so (by design) in concert with the President. So it’s a misstep to focus on what “Congress wanted.”
I'm not saying Jackson's dissent in Stanley v. City of Sanford is correct, or that even her asserted mode of jurisprudential analysis in this footnote is correct. But her critique of Gorsuch's "pure textualism" certainly is.
