Seeing some reporting that the Ayatollah was hit in the bombing. Pretty crazy to think world leaders might just wake up one day and get merkβd because we hit a new Epstein cycle in the news.
Ooooooooooo
Happy to share that my paper, The Federal Reserve Exception, is forthcoming in @VandLRev!
I question the strength of the Supreme Court's analogy of the Federal Reserve to the First & Second Banks, especially when it is compared to the ICC and 20th century regulatory agencies.

The argument that #SCOTUS is "reining in" executive power and (re-)empowering Congress is based on (1) cherry-picking the data; (2) downplaying the immunity ruling; and (3) ignoring dozens of other decisions to the contrary.
Me, via a bonus "One First":

I think the sheer audacity of the lie that the Roberts Courtβs game is vindicating Congress has put off even centrist legal liberals. Yβall gonna have Vladeck out here with resistance yβall keep it up.
Me: shakes head, βdidnβt we just give the justices a ton of money for little private armies? Should we normalize criticizing them? Is this the least bad thing Trump has ever done??β

Legal liberalismβs schizophrenia in a nutshell. The Court is abetting centralized power in the presidency but is a necessary check on presidentialism? π΅βπ«

I have a column today in Bloomberg about the tariff decision: By applying the major questions doctrine to Trump, the Court recognized the need for symmetry in the law, but it should also strengthen Congress's key check on unilateral administration, its power of the purse.
The in person SOTU is bad now and bad always. It is bad for our souls to see one man rise above all other aspects of the American state. A contingent and somewhat fascistic practice that should be abandoned pronto.
So Iβm like of the Willis school on the Kennedys but donβt know much about JFK jr. Is the new fx show even in the ball park of how he was as a person?

It feels like a long time coming -- I've been working on this paper for two years -- but I'm so happy to announce that my Article, "Who Trademark Law Is For," will be published in North Carolina Law Review @NCLRev.

One problem with the Congress Caucus as a reoccurring phenomenon is that each generation sees itself as a self-contained entity. They donβt necessarily see themselves as the latest version of something much, much older. That lets you ignore the fact that your team has in some meaningful sense been losing over and over again since sometime after the Civil War. And *that* historical amnesia lets you maintain the same basic outlines of a reform package across time. Itβs like playing for the Browns and having no idea what that entails.
One serious problem for article I is that the βcongress caucus,β the rag-tag forces who try to recenter article I over time cyclically, have gotten narrower and narrower in the scope of their ambitions, even as Congress falls further and further behind.
