I mean, that last sentence is a disqualifying-from-writing-about-the-current-federal-legal-landscape sentence. Also, why are people suspicious of experts? Goose-chasing-demanding-answers-dot-gif-dot-why-are-they? It's not just some sort of exogenous thing they feel.

Good news, everyone. You can get out of admin roles by sending rude sarcastic messages about the content of meetings you're sitting through— which means, for a lot of people I know, just leaking the messages you've already sent.

this entire crusade against diversity in hiring and admissions is based on the supposition that all white men are necessarily more qualified than any nonwhite person or woman who might be considered for the job. like, this lawsuit more or less states that outright.

SCOTUS to Presidents this week: Govern through notice-and-comment rulemaking? Courts will oversee your every move. Govern through expert agency adjudication? Nah, we'll oversee that in court. Govern by personally using official powers to commit crimes? Woah—THAT we couldn't possibly review... 🤨

Those familiar w founding era descriptions of the presidency will note TONS of references by Roberts in US v Trump to pres. "vigor" and "energy" but virtually none to ACCOUNTABILITY. Which is funny bc the Roberts Ct. loves to appeal to accountability to justify presidential pwr in other contexts.

How often will the current admin refuse to defend a rule enacted under a prior admin? When that happens, courts can appoint amici to defend the rule, but I think this dynamic will still matter.

Back in 2006 Andrew Siegel wrote an article called The Court Against the Courts: Hostility to Litigation as an Organizing Theme in the Rehnquist Court's Jurisprudence. Now I think we can say whose ever court this is -- is it still a Roberts court? -- it's a litigation promoting court.

The Heritage Foundation is funding an opposition researcher who targeted Biden's political appointments to now go after civil servants. I talked to The Guardian about how this connects to a broader pattern of targeting previously anonymous public servants.

Just adding that there were also statute-specific lines of cases - e.g., b/c the NLRA is relatively open-ended, the Court directed deference to permissible constructions by the NLRB. (These cases then got more-or-less folded into Chevron deference)
