A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.
I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.
Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.
Tomorrow, Congress will begin voting on whether to reauthorize FISA Section 702, an authority that has been repeatedly abused to spy on Americans. I have a short column in The Oklahoman explaining why reauthorization without reforms is bad policy and bad politics.

I had a great time presenting my paper "The Capture of the Congressional Intelligence Committees" at Georgia State yesterday. Thanks to Julian Hill for hosting me, and to all the workshop participants for their thoughtful questions and comments!
Thanks for having me! The feedback on the paper was incredibly helpful. (And a special thanks for the seven prominent scholars who said they enjoyed the paper!)

1/2 This memo identifies absolutely no source of legal authority for paying TSA. It does not point to an appropriation that is available for this purpose, nor does it point to any legal authority to transfer some other appropriation to TSA. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
I’ve been standing in a TSA security line for three hours. I’ve missed my flight. And—I still don’t think President Trump has the constitutional authority to unilaterally pay TSA officers.
🔎 Should professors teach students what the law is or how to think about it?
In HxA's inquisitive magazine, @noahchauvin.bsky.social explores constitutional law as a space where values, interpretation, and disagreement shape outcomes as much as doctrine:
This seems like a… not healthy relationship with AI. (Seen on LinkedIn—perhaps a troll?)

An interesting essay on the challenges with and strategies for increasing the intellectual diversity of the academy from Brian Fitzpatrick (Vanderbilt Law) in Law & Liberty. I have some quibbles, but a fair amount to chew over.

I don’t get the notion that owners of media companies have to keep setting money on fire in perpetuity if a segment of their business isn’t generating income.
Two things are true: (1) the media provides an important public good and (2) it’s a service that consumers must be willing to pay for.
