It's my fourth year teaching here @UMichLaw, and my fourth big game since moving to The School Up North. We love it here in Michigan, but our football loyalties remain unchanged. 🤓

.@RegStudies just put out a call for papers - the idea is to investigate policymaker (regulator & lawmaker) responses to the revolution in adlaw wrought by the Roberts Court. For more, see - https://t.co/q8spBEOfBD

[Oren Tamir @OrentaOren]

Maybe there will be a Loper Bright revolution after all? Worth reading the Court's recent decision in Rutherford. Seems quite different from its earlier decision in Seven County (though the dissent certainly invokes a similar move) https://t.co/THpEmPzH45

I first encountered the work of Gordon Wood as an undergrad history major. I thought then that "The Radicalism of the American Revolution" was a tour de force — and its reputation with me has only improved over time.

Over the years, I purchased every single Gordon Wood book. Many years ago, when I was a young husband and new dad, Gordon Wood came to the Mall in Washington DC as part of a book festival. I brought several books for him to sign. I dropped off my wife with our young child (and the pile of books) and then searched for parking.

Dear reader, I had to park very far away. So far, in fact, that Gordon Wood's window for signing books had long since passed. I finally found my wife and young child with Gordon Wood at an empty author's booth. He not only had signed all my books, but he had stayed well past his time to leave and graciously chatted with my wife, who had implored him to wait **just a little longer** so that I could meet him. He was so kind to my wife, our child, and — when I finally showed up — me.

Imagine my delight earlier this year when Gordon Wood agreed to be filmed for The Federalist Society @FedSoc for two days, to talk about America250 and the Founding (in particular, the path from the Declaration to the Constitution) and also to talk about his own life and career as a historian. I was honored to witness my good friends @kurtlash1 and Steve Calabresi interview Gordon Wood.

... and then Gordon Wood stayed long past the agreed upon filming time to talk to me about his life and our shared love of America's Founding.

We lost a brilliant man today. We also lost a good man, a kind man. Too often, that Venn Diagram of brilliance and kindness does not overlap. It did with Gordon Wood. May God receive his soul, and may his memory be a blessing.

My latest article, now live at the @SupremeCourtRev.

I think it will delight a few and irritate pretty much everyone else (link below)!

[Nicholas Bednar @NicholasBednar]

Very excited to see our article on Commission Quorums in print with Stanford Law Review. @tphillips

New to @SSRN: I've posted a draft of a symposium essay, entitled Preserving Both Agency Expertise and Accountability in the Unitary Executive.

In this essay, I make the conservative case for a professionalized civil service.

In a new post for @YaleJREG's “Notice & Comment” blog, Prof. @ElenaChachko argues that Learning Resources v. Trump is about far more than just whether the president has the authority to impose tariffs. https://t.co/0OvLuW6igl

So beautiful. From a neighbor and parent who (with his wife Emy) inspired me to be a better parent and person while living in Columbus, especially during the COVID era.

[Sean T at RCP @SeanTrende]

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

New for @YaleJREG on Learning
Resources v. Trump (the tariffs case). I analyze the decision in the broader context of judicial review of executive use of statutory emergency powers, drawing on a recent paper.

[Tyler Lindley @tylerblindley]

New paper on @SSRN with @e_garrett_west, "The Takings Clause Cause of Action," forthcoming in the @StanLRev. Does the Takings Clause have an implied cause of action? If not, does the Constitution speak to the Clause's enforcement? Abstract here and link below!

[Matthew B. Lawrence @mjblawrence]

Wow, thank you Emily Hammond for a very thoughtful review of "Second-Class Administrative Law"!

[Chris Walker @chris_j_walker]

The opinion is here: https://t.co/NBYzKcuDL9. Judge Mathis's dissent is also a well-executed opinion and great read.

[Chris Walker @chris_j_walker]

On this podcast live-taped @UMichLaw, I had the chance to talk about a fascinating recent Sixth Circuit opinion authored by Judge McKeague -- Brown-Forman v. NLRB -- an attempt to reinvigorate attacks on the scope of Chenery II's policymaking-by-adjudication principle. 👇
