This post may be asking for a type but I am going to respond with a token: On a trip to Rome, after a long hot day in which I had barely eaten, I ordered a four-cheese pizza at a restaurant in a quiet alley somewhere nearish to the Colosseum. Indescribably good.

Don't some of the rules (e.g., Rules 1.4, 3.1, 3.3, 4.1) either compel or prohibit speech, but they are constitutional because they satisfy whatever 1A standard applies to rules of professional conduct (whether it is strict or intermediate scrutiny)? Why wouldn't 8.4(f)?
Wait you mean there might be more to legal ethics than I learned in the History of the Common Law?
Maybe he's out there with Pearl Jam.
As an aside, Justice Sotomayor had an extraordinarily impressive group of clerks that term.
The NYT article explains that it's the initials of the clerk who helped the justice prepare the memo.
Perhaps the stay prevented it from dropping more. . . . Hard to tell because I am having difficulty finding figures within the range of those Alito cited in his memo (i.e., projected capacity of 203 vs. 2014 GW in 2016 with vs. without the CPP).
So, the Chief wants to grant the stay due to fears that coal plants would be taken out of commission due to the CPP before the Court could rule in 2018. Alito picks up this argument. But even with the stay, coal generation in GWh dropped by 8% between 2015 and 2016. www.epa.gov/power-sector...
Sometimes I wonder if the circuit courts expect SCOTUS to step in and grant a stay if they don't grant the admin stay, so they do so to preserve their ability to give reasons that might sway SCOTUS.
Indeed, when I was a freshman, Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France was part of the DS curriculum. We discussed it seriously and sympathetically.
(Of course, that may not satisfy the Rufo set, given how distant the modern right is from Burkean conservatism.)
As it turned out, they didn't get the positive headline. E.g., NYT: "Yale Report on University Problems Finds Culprit: Schools Just Like Yale."
Instead of assuming that people will always and forever perceive the economy as worse than the macroeconomic statistics suggest, we could look at evidence about the factors that drive these perceptions and think about whether those factors are likely to stay the same or change over time.
There has been a lot of discourse about whether, why, and to what degree people's perceptions of the economy (e.g., especially, inflation) differ from the standard macroeconomic statistics (e.g., YoY inflation).
There is, in fact, academic research on this question. (E.g., papers cited in link.)
I assume they want to use the shell because it's a already public, so they can immediately raise a lot of money for their new company. But someone more informed on these matters may know better.
If I'm reading this correctly, Allbirds closed all its stores in February and sold its IP and other assets for just $39m in March. Someone is turning its mostly empty shell into an AI company, which will have a new name (NewBird AI).
I.e., Allbirds went out of business.
Congratulations -- I am so happy for you! I hope things are going well up in Hanover.
Glad to hear the ACLU is pursuing a test case along these lines.
Complaint on the linked page includes counts under the Maine statute screenshotted below and under Bivens.
I had thought judges usually called professors to have these conversations. Maybe judges don't think professors are sufficiently ideologically aligned to make those recommendations anymore?
Incredible.
Strange to invoke just war theory to disagree with the pope when you're not even following it.
Does JD Vance think the United States and its allies have been acting in accordance with just war theory in this conflict?
The experts are skeptical.
The President can direct cooperation with the ICC on a case-by-case basis under 22 U.S.C. § 7430(a). Though the ICC may be unwilling or unable to get involved for other reasons.
You called it.

people split hairs about the genocide classification all the time, but Trump unambiguously wrote down his intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national group, and then he broadcast it out
Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
In an ideal world, the Senate would allow time for deliberation, in case the House got carried away and passed something ill-advised.
As is, the Senate kills bills rather than deliberating. Maybe a UK-inspired model, where bills can bypass the Senate if passed by House in two successive Congresses?
What's the harm in touting LaFlamme, or even ranking her first on the primary ballot, as long as people also rank one of the two top candidates?
