@realJeremyCarl is right that government policy did a lot to make this situation far worse than it might have been. Excellent article.

This special ‘1776’ series from @MarvelComicsHQ needed way more Mel Gibson and a lot less Ken Burns. Thanks @LyceumNow

[Lyceum Now @LyceumNow]

Marvel’s “1776” stops a plot to erase the Revolution — but only after its heroes wonder aloud whether Britain winning might have been better. A celebration that can’t stop apologizing isn’t one. https://t.co/aHWMHLwR9h

Don't miss our latest podcast, featuring Judges Neomi Rao and Steven Menashi talking with @Aaron_L_Nielson about how Loper Bright has affected their day-to-day lives as judges.

The version of Christianity offered to men today is weak.
Time to fix that.
Offensive Christianity is out today.

> Allow 'legal immigrant' from Sierra Leone named 'Mohamed Jalloh' to became an American citizen
> Goes to jail for trying to join ISIS
> Release him before his maximum sentence is up
> Allow him to remain in America instead of denaturalizing and deporting him
> Shoots three people at a university

Our civilization simply will not survive if we don't end our suicidal mass immigration policies.

I basically share Blake’s view. I’m opposed to war with Iran not because it’s bad in and of itself but because the consequences of a war like this are too indeterminate, and history tells us can often spiral into ugly, protracted entanglements that make the geopolitical problem you’re trying to solve worse rather than better.

It doesn’t mean the geopolitical problem isn’t real or worth trying to solve, only that dropping bombs and crossing your fingers for successful regime change tends not to work very well.

It’s also the case that it’s bad politically for this to drag out. Political capital is in some sense zero sum and using time and energy and public good-will to prosecute this war can make the other stuff harder to get done and signals administrative priorities that are misaligned with the domestic concerns that are front and center in the vast majority of American’s minds.

There’s also a very real generational disconnect here. Iran is one of these legacy boomer fixations that most younger Americans simply don’t care about. Again, this is not to say that Iran isn’t bad or a geopolitical nuisance or even a security threat, only that the case for this kind of action isn’t obvious or clear to most voters under the age of ~55. The pitch is mostly falling on deaf ears.

But okay, it’s happening. It behooves the admin to do this very quickly and surgically and apply max pressure to regional partners to pick up a lot of the slack so we can get out of there as soon as possible. Letting this become a millstone that hangs around the administration’s neck for any significant period of time risks continuing to successfully deliver on the primary issue of immigration, and associated domestic concerns, which is what really matters.

God bless Trump. He is real, and I am not. His entire presidency exists in defiance of the political laws and constraints that seemingly keep everyone else from successful action. That this will be another case of Trump doing what only Trump can do is not an unreasonable expectation. We’ll see.

[Jeffrey A Tucker @jeffreytucker]

It's hugely significant that something that has been mostly invisible to the public for more than a century – the independent administrative state – would suddenly be all over the news. This is a huge sign of a dramatic paradigm change.

[Jace Lington @jacelington]

@EliNachmany does a great job laying out what might happen with regulations upheld under Chevron moving forward. Thanks for coming on the show!

[Jace Lington @jacelington]

I enjoyed reading Dan’s brief and he explained the ideas in an accessible way on the podcast.

[New Civil Liberties Alliance @NCLAlegal]

Bureaucrats pretending to be judges? That’s not how the Constitution works. ⚖️

NCLA’s Justice Daniel Kelly joins the Gray Matters Podcast (@AdLawCenter) to explain why agency adjudicators have no business wielding judicial power. He breaks down his new paper, Jarkesy and the End of Political Adjudication, and why real trials belong in real courts—Article III courts.

You don’t hate the administrative state enough

You think you do but you don’t

[Law & Liberty @LawLiberty]

In his new book, Justice Neil Gorsuch shows the danger the administrative state poses to genuine self-government.

In case you’re looking for sober analysis about this case and the historical context surrounding Appointments Clause debates, here it is

[Jenn Mascott @jennmascott]

Chatted today w/ @AdLawCenter's research director @jacelington re Judge Cannon's dismissal of the Trump/FL documents indictment, on constitutional Appointments Clause grounds. The ruling that the office of Special Counsel was not properly established "by Law" reflects constitutional questions raised by Justice Thomas's concurring op in the Court's presidential immunity decision & historical scholarship on requirements for serving as an "officer of the United States." https://t.co/x8K1alHsic
