Some say I’m lib, some say I’m con. But I’m just a boy who loves the constitution (but not the Federalist Society)!

@dilanesper His stance also just seems inconsistent with originalism. Article III vests all “judicial power” in the judicial branch, and estoppel was already recognized at the time of ratification at common law & in equity. Therefore, federal courts can use estoppel. Contra Trump v. CASA.

@Faj1791 He’s a cool guy — even marched in the pride parade in WeHo. I saw him speak at my school, and he seemed like a down to earth guy who just wanted to get work done.

@biglawbro If you are literally dead set on TX biglaw then UT. Biglaw in TX hires plenty of ppl from SMU & UH. As long as you don’t have poopy grades you’ll get your pick of firms in TX from UT.

<60 ppl at an Olga Kern concert is crazy. Seems like our generation at large is having a cultural decline. People can’t enjoy music that doesn’t have cuss words or references to sex.

[Bryan Cheong @bryancsk]

Olga Kern herself is performing and there can't be more than 60 people here. We get the same talent that Carnegie Hall has at better prices and a far more intimate venue but no-one comes, I'm embarrassed on behalf of the city and hope these artists don't just skip us next time.

@Vibutler_ The standards for brief investigative traffic stops is reasonable suspicion. Mere speeding, without more, also does not give probable cause for a search. Overall a comically mistaken take on his end.

@PJSobkowski What was his Commentaries on the Constitution like? I read his Commentaries on Agency (6th ed.) for a research project but had no idea he had one for the Constitution too.

Since Neal Katyal is acting like he personally brought down tariffs at the Supreme Court, a reminder:

He once argued it was perfectly fine for a local government to seize an old woman's home, sell it, and keep the profit.

Lost 9-0. 😌

The people who blast music on the train with speakers are a very specific type. They do so because they hold contempt for basic decency and societal order. They view the world as “owing them something” and thus rules don’t apply to them. You dare to speak up? They’ll go violent.

[TaraBull @TaraBull]

Man filming threatens to cut another subway passenger's face open for asking him to turn his speaker off.

[Dan Epps @danepps]

Counterpoint: the Justices are good at figuring out what they think about a case of this magnitude, and Neal’s four coaches had zero effect on the outcome.

I don’t think I have ever seen a SCOTUS advocate claim so much personal credit for a win before…yeesh.

[law squirrel @CIA_Squirrel]

@danepps To be sure, I’m not saying Katyal is not a terrific advocate. But any of the qualified Supreme Court litigators out there probably would have achieved the same result, even without the use of Harvey AI!

[law squirrel @CIA_Squirrel]

@danepps And from the start there was a good chance it was gonna be >=5-4 against Trump. Barrett didn’t see MQD as a strong-form canon so she’s open to applying it in new contexts. Gorsuch loves strong-form MQD & nondelegation.

[law squirrel @CIA_Squirrel]

@mimodow93 @dilanesper I agree it’s not his #1 thing. But he’s talked about it as early as March 2020. Like the IEEPA tariffs for Trump, student loan forgiveness is something for Biden that would be talked about & remembered in future government/history/law classes.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Additionally, we should forgive a minimum of $10,000/person of federal student loans, as proposed by Senator Warren and colleagues. Young people and other student debt holders bore the brunt of the last crisis. It shouldn't happen again.

[law squirrel @CIA_Squirrel]

@mimodow93 @dilanesper Debatable. He campaigned heavily on it, and its scope was wide reaching and consequential. Maybe it wasn’t “the” signature initiative, but one could argue it was one of his widely recognized signature initiatives.

[law squirrel @CIA_Squirrel]

@dilanesper Also imo it was kinda clear from the start this case would be min 5-4 against Trump. Barrett noted in her Nebraska concurrence that she doesn’t see MQD as a substantive cannon so she’d be comfortable applying it in new contexts. Gorsuch loves strong-form MQD & non-delegation.

[law squirrel @CIA_Squirrel]

Unbecoming of a law professor to say something like this. Disgusting for anyone to say something like this. What does this guy teach his students at GULC?

If Obama had a son, he’d attack the White House Correspondents Dinner like Cole Allen.

@LeroyTheElk Many ppl seem to struggle with differentiating between descriptive and prescriptive statements.
