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.

Congrats to @daskeel for this @pennlaw faculty teaching award.

A good professor but an even better dad!

(Says a lot that I only learned of this via a friend of a friend...)

@derektmuller I tested on this issue a couple of times. This will make teaching this area so much easier. Shady Grove is so much cleaner.

[Guy-Uriel Charles @ProfGuyCharles]

@HoffProf I've rarely heard professors or practitioners emphasize the importance of testing memorization. The profession rewards, and will continue to reward, cognitive skills/speed. In the future (if not the present) the profession will reward facility with AI.

[Guy-Uriel Charles @ProfGuyCharles]

@HoffProf This seems exactly right to me. And of the three, testing memorization seems the least defensible.

At moments like this it is worth considering and reflecting upon the history and principles of religious toleration. Such tolerance was not about being nice to people with different customs or holidays, but something far more profound.

@maya_sen @jamalgreene @sudoraohacker I think if one goes through the actual memos, as opposed to just reading the free bacon piece, I think one might have a different view than some of the reactions I’m seeing. It’s remarkable how deeply the students engaged in the substance and merits of the articles.

Proposition: Abundance and the conservationist mode of environmentalism are (or should be) friends, not enemies.
🧵/15.

[Chris Elmendorf @CSElmendorf]

But, economically and institutionally, I think Abundance and conservation are complements, for three principal reasons.

I can understand why the President pardoned his son. I can even see why it seemed necessary. But to use the pardon power in this way is deeply troubling.

@narosenblum In my optimistic moments, I had the same thought, not about gerrymandering, which might be a bridge too far for the parties, but about right to vote legislation. If the GOP can win with low propensity voters and if they need those voters, it’s in their interest to do something.

Loper Bright (LB) has the potential to change the structure of power in the U.S. Is that good or bad? Depends on who you are, where you think power should be + what you think of disruptive change.

A day-of-opinion 🧵about who/what could stop the change (= Congress/lower courts) + what this means for the President, agencies, OIRA, businesses & the public.

[Guy-Uriel Charles @ProfGuyCharles]

@ProfTolson We need structural democracy reform. It’s never been more evident.

[Guy-Uriel Charles @ProfGuyCharles]

Oh my!!

[Guy-Uriel Charles @ProfGuyCharles]

@ProfTolson 😂 🤷🏿‍♂️ is it too late for me to learn corporate law?

[Guy-Uriel Charles @ProfGuyCharles]

@lauren_tuite @greenparty_ie @dlrcc Congrats!!

@USCGouldLaw @USCGouldLawDean Making a Twitter appearance to congratulate Dean Tolson. Brilliant scholar and now Dean. Congrats!!!

Justice Kagan has been developing a jurisprudence of federal elections as national elections and limiting the role of the states. This is the best way of understanding her opinion in Chiafalo. Murray's argument is running smack dab against her vision.
