Supreme Court's order in Noem v. Abrego Garcia is a blunt rebuke of the government's attempt to shrug off its incompetence by chanting Article II nostrums--but also a warning that district courts may not simply override structural allocations of power when fashioning remedies.

Curious whether the ABA would consider classes on Canon Law as counting towards cross-cultural competency. It has existed for centuries (pre-codification) and its scope encompasses many cultures. Nor is interpreting it an inherently textualist endeavor. #FedSoc2022

Is the undertaking of constitutional “construction” an act of “construing” or is it “engaging in construction,” or is it “constructing”? Because a lot of construction that I see is preceded by demolition. Not sure that’s an attractive constitutional metaphor... #FedSoc2019

@FedSoc Immutable truth: if one has Richard Epstein as a panelist, one must be prepared for the invocation of Roman law. It was always thus, from time immemorial. #FedSoc2018

Though I am blessed with many well-mannered friends, as a native of Chicagoland I consider it an immutable truth that politics is the continuation of war by other means. #converseClausewitz
