It is very confusing that I keep getting political ads promising a plan to make DC housing more affordable...from the candidate who is trying to *leave* the DC council and go to Congress

Two of my favorite words continue to be "certiorari denied."

I am once again begging court pundits with large social media decisions to describe certain Supreme Court decisions as "not major" or somehow insignificant. Just because a case isn't on a political/social hot topic doesn't make it minor.

Found a video of one Harvard Law student engaged in this practice

Lohier?

The only things born with constitutional rights in Hamburger's America are busineses

Dissenting from 3rd Cir majority holding Kalshi can evade state gambling laws, Judge Roth calls the company's moves a "performative sleight," noting "if it looks like gambling, talks like gambling, and calls itself gambling, it’s gambling."

Both ENRD and Civil have been on the case from the get go. ENRD has responsibilities for defending the government on claims under some of the statutes raised here.

I also think his criticism of Justice Barrett points in this direction.

(In the abstract, eliminating Garmon preemption does not favor workers or employers more, but the core of the argument here is an anti-administrative one--i.e., that Garmon gives too much power to the NLRB)

New Sixth Circuit Judge Hermandorfer comes out swinging - penning a concurrence arguing that Garmon preemption shouldn't exist. www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf...

I cringe every time someone posts something suggesting a typo or formatting error in a government brief is evidence of evilness or incompetent lawyering. Not only is it wrong, but it misleads non-lawyer audiences.

You might not like it, but the responses to the original skeet are wild

Am I missing something? The footnote here about citations is quite common in judicial opinions from judges of all stripes. See, e.g., ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Almost done with two weeks in Australia and man has it nice not to be law-ing

LAWSUIT WIN: A federal judge put an end to the Trump admin’s unlawful attempt to starve the CFPB of funds. 

This win ensures the agency can do its vital work of protecting consumers.

This ruling is a win for all Americans.

NYC renamed its department of consumer affairs the department of consumer and worker protection back in 2019, so this tracks with that

A little confusing, because they started hiring for these jobs last year. www.fd.org/sites/defaul...

As someone whose office has long had a Supreme Court Assistance Project that also goes by the moniker "SCAP", I look forward to the confusion that will ensue.

Out of approximately 4,000 yearly truck accidents, only 17 were caused by non-US citizens.

A new nonsensical Trump rule barring legal immigrants from getting commercial drivers licenses is based on nothing but prejudice.

We are asking the court to strike down this illegal & discriminatory rule.

Well forgive you this time, Raffi

Right- Federal Circuit issued a stay, which it just dissolved this week www.cafc.uscourts.gov/opinions-ord...

And because its an awful industry with limitless money and limitless hubris, it is paying Gibson Dunn to *appeal* the court's rejection of that argument.

I've seen a lot of ridiculous invocations of the federal-officer removal statute (Tyson Foods, every nursing home in America)...but this one takes the cake. *Polymarket* argued that its gaming operations are actions taken under federal officer direction. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Back on campus for the first time in 20 years to talk public interest legal careers, and had to take a selfie with the new Jumbo!

This evening seems like a good one to start my countdown to my two-month sabbatical.... 63 days

Just filed - our final brief in our case challenging DOL's unlawful and cruel shuttering of all 99 Job Corps centers last May, which we successfully got stayed last summer

One thing nice about filing briefs on behalf of clients instead of just sharing your views on the law is that you never risk a brief that just dunks on you by name repeatedly

You might say the dogma lives loudly within them
