Professor of Law, South Texas College of Law - Houston. Academic research now focuses on firearms regulation, and I teach mostly legal ethics and administrative law. It's time for conscientious people to give up guns for good.

You're right, I should have rephrased my post. I was trying to say they are still giving high deference regardless of Loper. Will remove it and try to explain better next time

Was she a cop? I don't think cops and DAs are the same at all. For a lot of DAs it's just another lawyer gig they do for a while. Lots of my former students started out at the DAs office to get experience and then switched to defense work.

Are you (or do you know) a law student or attorney who is interested in joining the design patent bar? If you haven't applied yet, why not? #Lawsky

Ohio v EPA is the first time SCOTUS has talked about the "knee of the curve" in an opinion. Mentioned repeatedly in Gorsuch's majority, and is singled out for criticism in Barrett's dissent. I need to explain this idea to students.

I started making class slides yesterday for Loper Bright and I can't decide if the title slide should have a photo of a fishing trawler or a dumpster full of discarded law books.

That's 🤣. For real, though, I keep my fridge stocked with bottles of Stok so I can get it immediately when I stagger into the kitchen in the morning half-awake. And easier to gulp down if it's chilled.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about it from the fisheries angle. I teach a few marine conservation cases. I've wondered what it is about the herring supply chain upline that supposedly prevents the trawler owners from passing the costs of onboard inspectors through to the customer base.

Admin law profs, do any of you teach Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms v. FLRA, 464 U. S. 89 (1983), in your course? It's cited in Loper Bright. Maybe that's the baseline for MQD now?

Is it just me, or have the SCOTUS case "Syllabus" summaries become much, much longer recently? The longer they get, the less useful they are.

Has SCOTUS released their orders from yesterday's mop-up conference? There were some pending cert petitions that I'm anxious to hear about - whether they were granted or declined.

Tfw you contact your Senator's office expressing support for a new regulation and you receive a truly revolting response that sounds like something Yosemite Sam would say if he had a good copy editor.

Don't worry, I am sure SCOTUS will still uphold any anti-DEI or anti-ESG regulations that the next GOP administration adopts.

The Federalist Papers obsessed over the power of factions to hijack democracy. The Founders would not be surprised by any of this, I think.

We have a 2018 law in TX that if I rent a room of MY OWN HOUSE to a grad student, I can't have a no-guns-in-my-house-rule. If a private retailer wants no guns in their store, they have to take up streetfront window space with required signage. It goes on and on.

The Third Reich had a LONG list of chancelleries, cabinet ministries, and "Office of ___." Fascists love bureaucracy just as much as Stalinists. Authoritarianism micromanages every aspect of society. This terms' decisions are just about clearing the slate of everything since the New Deal.

There are LOTS of things they want to regulate! In Texas, we have laws barring private corporations from all govt contracts if the company boycotts Israel, or divests from the fossil fuel industry or weapons manufacturers. Private companies are not allowed to require employees to get vaccinated.

I loved economics until 2020 when a lot of the leading economists were on Twitter lecturing the top epidemiologists and virologists about their own subject of expertise.🙄
