I gave a lecture at @StanfordLaw last week titled, "How Should Flock Cameras Be Regulated Under the Fourth Amendment?" The video is now available at the link below; the lecture starts at the 7:30 mark.

@KannonShanmugam Wonderful.

George Will takes on the Fourth Amendment implications of border searches of cell phones in his latest column. Gift link: https://t.co/hDm8a2mkaw

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

In a chapter of my book, "The Digital Fourth Amendment," I argue that the warrant requirement should apply to searches of electronic devices at the U.S. border—at least for the devices of U.S. citizens. You can now read that chapter here:

I'm thrilled to be launching Econvitals today. It's been the main way in which I have been tracking and understanding the economy over the last several months. And I decided I might as well share it with all of you--for free.

Has a combo of website, email lists & social media.

And another. (Although these videos look like they're spontaneous, I am told by someone who wasn't in one that they're actually pre-arranged.) https://t.co/MfAvYRLvWm

@kevinbaum013 Might be part of this crowd. https://t.co/gZM2gv89SS

@kevinbaum013 In spirit, northern Delaware is part of the North; southern Delaware is part of the South.

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

Extraordinary.

@shbarclay @GeoffSigalet Cool!

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

@pjaicomo @IJ Yeah, I would guess that "more percolation is needed" in this context may just mean "we're trying to get four votes for cert and, heads up, here's what would help us get there."

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

@hoofnagle Interesting, first I have heard of this. I wonder if it would have passed if the proposal had been to pay for the changes by deducting its costs from the pool of money that pays for faculty salaries. (Actually, I don't think I need to wonder...)

Again, students don't know which branch of government has the power of the purse. https://t.co/iKGxug8XA0

Exclusive: President Trump is expected to remove 50% tariffs on some Canadian products in a bid to help Maine Sen. Susan Collins and other Republicans in the upcoming midterms https://t.co/XEHNRWYLYz

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

To be fair to today’s students, the academically correct answer to the first question is hard to square with current practice.

[David Alan Hughes @davidhughes_phd]

That's pretty odd, considering the exam includes questions like, "Which branch of government has the 'power of the purse,'" and "What's a negative externality?" We've at least gotten beyond the Zoom-era where for 5 years, freshmen didn't ask questions.

JD Vance: "Because Pete Ricketts has been fighting for your farmers, today I'm proud to announce $1.3 billion in investment in domestic fertilizer manufacturing right here in Nebraska"

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

@KeithNHumphreys Absolutely, I HATE that.

[Jack Goldsmith @jacklgoldsmith]

I talk to Caleb Nelson about his criticisms of Slaughter in his article the “Dictatorial Presidency.” "So my criticism is partly about timing. Even if you think there’s a stronger case for unitary executive theory than I do, this is an extraordinarily dangerous time, I think, for the Supreme Court to upend precedent and to move in that direction. And my criticism is also about history. Chief Justice Roberts keeps repeating claims about the First Congress that I’m pretty sure aren’t true and that scholars have, I think, debunked."

For me it’s the Teapot Dome scandal. It was a really big deal.

[King Abert @Abert_Squirrel]

What is the oldest political news story you can remember? For me it's Joe Biden being selected as Obama's VP.

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

@WestrupA Does that mean they’re not catching my references to Italian opera? I hope not.

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

Percent of today's law students who have watched enough episodes of Hogan's Heroes to know Sgt Schultz's classic line, "I see NOTHING, I know NOTHING," relevant to a discussion of trial witnesses who claim to have forgotten:

Based on today's class, approx zero.

@HoffProf @r_tallarita But @r_tallarita was trying to evaluate Pangram using a single 56-word paragraph. I thought it was well accepted that Pangram not all that reliable when the passage is so short; it gets very reliable when the passage is longer.

[Orin Kerr @OrinKerr]

@HoffProf The OP point seemed to be that of course we always knew what was AI writing without Pangram, and Pangram can't tell AI written from AI edited text—both of which, I think, are just totally wrong.
