Awesome @beaubaumann.bsky.social Congrats to you and @jedshug.bsky.social ! Can't wait to read this.

Glad to see my job talk paper isn’t totally insane. Others coming around to the idea!

Isn’t the test for Bivens “are you literally Bivens?“ Coach K is a joke and half.

Hired him twice too!

Semi website official, but I’m beyond thrilled to take the next step toward academia. I’ve officially started as a visiting assistant professor and Murray Fellow at the Univeristy of Maryland School of Law. I’ll hit the official “meat market” in August 2026.

Been busy unpacking for a reason I’ll announce soon and haven’t had the chance to fully digest the SCOTUS decisions. But I’m now on board with @espinsegall.bsky.social in saying #notacourt

I see we’ve reached the point in the timeline where the DOJ is suing every federal district court judge in Maryland. This is the the type of thing pro se plaintiffs would do when I was clerking.

Going to be central part of my job talk paper. Thanks for sharing!

“Thought carefully” is doing a lot of work. But he is right that they have already made up their mind, on this and many other areas.

Still, no engagement by Baude of Prof. Shugerman and prof. Chalbot’s work decimating the special carve out for the Fed.

Excellent essay by Quinn here. Well worth a few minutes of your time if you’re curious about the 22nd Amendment.

Congrats on the placement!

Pleased to announce that my paper "The Protean Procurement Act" is now officially published at the
University of Pittsburgh Law Review. lawreview.law.pitt.edu/ojs/lawrevie...

Special thanks to @beaubaumann.bsky.social for his comments on an earlier draft.

Not shocked that Tjoflat was in dissent. His Fox-news jurisprudence on full display here and driving his dissent. Which is kind of funny as someone who often professes to his clerks that if he did things again he’d be a first amendment lawyer.

Same. The hypocrisy of this OPM statement is maddening. But makes perfect sense for this administration.

Strengthening and Unleashing America's Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:Section 1.  Purpose and

So it looks like all the law firms who capitulated will now be defending ICE? (1) I’m not sure how that qualifies as pro bono work and (2) that’s what government attorneys are for. It’s not too late to grow a spine.

This is very sketchy. The amount and time of review needed to terminate a contract (for convenience or otherwise) is long. Multiple layers of review. If not followed this contracting officers warrant needs to be pulled. They should’ve pushed back anyway.

Agreed! Though they’ll argue they are immune under supremacy clause immunity. But I say let them hash it out.

I think the same can said even at the court of appeals level. Every judge I’ve asked about this says that only in the rare case do their minds change from oral argument. And usually it’s because one side dropped the ball in argument. Limited data set for sure.

@evanbernick.bsky.social work here
is well worth a read (as is his and @anthonymkreis.bsky.social and @paulgowder.bsky.social article on birthright citizenship).

The use of Loper Bright here is *chef’s kiss* perfection.

Against my better judgment opened the other site for a second. Only to see an unserious person masquerading as a legal scholar. Wurman cannot take the L and move on.

Some of us are screenshotting/lurking in support. I enjoy the posts and your arguments. And I’m glad someone is speaking with reason and logic re: birthright citizenship issue. Keep at it!

Posted on SSRN yet?

Even if the worst criminal in El Salvador fled to the US, they would be entitled to an extradition hearing before being sent back and the US would not send them directly to the gulag. What Trump has done is a heinous, unprecedented abuse of power.

Calling them a “court” at this point is almost oxymoronic. Or as @espinsegall.bsky.social would say “not a court.”

I imagine he was that guy in law school who had to chime in with “well actually . . .” And what followed was some absolute garbage.

Ahh wish I would’ve seen your article. Edits were just finalized but this would’ve been an excellent cite too. Added to my reading list for sure and congrats on that placement!

Had to make an edit myself on similar vibes.

Another example of “tell me you’re not impartial without telling me you’re not impartial.”
