I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

Congrats to @daskeel for this @pennlaw faculty teaching award.
A good professor but an even better dad!
(Says a lot that I only learned of this via a friend of a friend...)

At moments like this it is worth considering and reflecting upon the history and principles of religious toleration. Such tolerance was not about being nice to people with different customs or holidays, but something far more profound.

Proposition: Abundance and the conservationist mode of environmentalism are (or should be) friends, not enemies.

But, economically and institutionally, I think Abundance and conservation are complements, for three principal reasons.

I can understand why the President pardoned his son. I can even see why it seemed necessary. But to use the pardon power in this way is deeply troubling.

Loper Bright (LB) has the potential to change the structure of power in the U.S. Is that good or bad? Depends on who you are, where you think power should be + what you think of disruptive change.
A day-of-opinion 🧵about who/what could stop the change (= Congress/lower courts) + what this means for the President, agencies, OIRA, businesses & the public.
Justice Kagan has been developing a jurisprudence of federal elections as national elections and limiting the role of the states. This is the best way of understanding her opinion in Chiafalo. Murray's argument is running smack dab against her vision.

I'm so dismayed by Liz Magill's resignation and I so hope that Claudine Gay @Harvard will not follow. I fear too few of us have said what many of us think: She did nothing wrong, & the real failure of leadership would be surrendering to a campaign so hostile to our values. /1
Words are truly inadequate to express the full measure of Prof Ogletree. It is hard to believe that one person did so much and touched so many. He really did make the world a better place. We will treasure and honor all that he has bequeathed to us. His work will live on.

Not sure the distinction that Katyal makes between state constitutions and state statutes is necessary and may be distracting?
