I'm seriously worried that the argument of every lawyer facing a show cause order for fake AI citations is going to be "even S&C did it - it's standard of care now." Defining deviance down. /1

Interesting. We have to have a right to criticize public officials, but it's also true the level of threatened violence against judges and in public life in general is frightening. I guess I'm more worried about gun control than speech, all things considered, esp as a former citizen of Connecticut

I don't understand, what this is about?

After what happened to Judge Salas, it should be nonpartisan.

But if I am going to DCA it's a whole other ballgame

I walk in at 50 minutes to flight time and it feels excessive. My best time was parking at 40 min, at the gate 30, Hartford Airport.

It all depends on the airport. Small regional? Waltz in there. ORD? Better get there early.

Super interesting! I thought this was really thought provoking.

Another way to look at it is that the act of legislation is itself an indicator of norm breakdown. (If we think of the NDA as a kind of private legislation). Kind of a chicken/egg problem.

Disappointingly self certain and epistemically closed even then.

I remember feeling that it shouldn't be naive to think that in a hard case some discussion and reflection would be needed, but he didn't seem to think so. We are very knowledgeable or some such. But if it were so easy why decide the case at that level?

Years ago I heard OConnor and Breyer in conversation at the Century Club (it was on the radio). Breyer said, in sum and substance, that they usually already knew the result and conference was just for voting.

Did you see the change of counsel on the Bayer / Monsanto preemption case?

"Contempt of court is a public offense, and the fate of our democratic republic will depend on whether we treat it as such. In the many forms in which it can be committed, contempt degrades the power that the People, through their Constitution and Congress, gave the federal courts. Without the contempt power, the rule of law is an illusion, a theory that stands upon shifting sands. For contempt offends not only the authority of whichever judge has been subjected to such incursions, but it also offends our system of governance. Addressing contempt is, therefore, a responsibility that is part and parcel of the court’s duty to interpret and apply the laws of the governed."

Two Trump appointees on the D.C. Circuit panel blocked Boasberg from even INVESTIGATING contempt of court related to the March 2025 flights to El Salvador.

The dissent: "Without the contempt power, the rule of law is an illusion, a theory that stands upon shifting sands."

This is really weird, I agree.

I have a question:

There could be a personal jurisdiction theory based on an analogy between trademark and defamation under the Calder effects test. What do you think? (There is a footnote to this effect in Burger King).

generation lead never fails

This is a graph showing the massive lead exposure suffered by generation x which seems the most plausible explanation for many genx phenomena.

What do you think?

If interested in disrupting your entire week, J Chhabria has issued this order in the Roundup lit permitting all amicus filings, support for motions to enjoin the Mo class cert due April 16 (unfair re notice, futures, &c) -- @alahav.bsky.social , @eburch.bsky.social , @profadamszimmerman.bsky.social

Like what?

Or put another way, take the toxic out of the masculity and make it cool. It can be done!

Well there are different ways to send the message, but the first is pay more. See, e.g., the shift of computer science from female to male dominated.

If anything can be pinkified then it can be blueified.
