On Lawfare Daily, @S_R_Anders, @Claussen_K, @marty_lederman, and @petereharrell discussed the Supreme Court’s opinion which invalidated President Trump's IEEPA tariffs and looked ahead to the legal fights to come over the other tariff authorities the Trump administration is now using to pursue its agenda.

Could not be more thrilled that Liz Magill will be Georgetown Law’s new dean! She is brilliant and kind and a person of deep integrity. @GeorgetownLaw is lucky to get her.

This is simply unadulterated, wonderful news for our school and our students. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone with greater integrity, creativity and thoughtfulness.

Take this in. "[Admiral] Bradley ... affirmed having sought real-time legal advice, but that he did not say whether his military lawyer considered the survivors shipwrecked and out of the fight."

Has anyone mentioned that if only Kiner-Falefa had run through the plate rather than sliding--which presumably is what he's been taught to do--the Blue Jays would be world champions? Astonishing blunder--much worse than Buckner. And heartbreaking.

On why Trump's determination that the U.S. is engaged in an armed conflict with drug cartels is (i) wrong; and (ii) insufficient, in any event, to make legal the strikes against vessels in the Caribbean. justsecurity.org/121844/trum…

Legal Flaws in the Trump Administration’s Notice to Congress on “Armed Conflict” with Drug Cartels

Trump administration's "armed conflict" theory should not be treated as a plausible basis to justify lethal strikes on vessels and civilians.

I can scarcely imagine what it's like to be an operational enlistee or commander directed to comply with such a legally dubious order in this administration. A horrible position to be in. I tease it out a bit in this post.

"Do you like to see professional golfers lose their shit? If the nine previous U.S. Opens contested at Oakmont are any indication, you are in for a treat this week." Over at the Ringer, I previewed 2025's harsh third major at one of golf's cruelest venues. theringer.com/2025/06/11/gol…

At Oakmont, the U.S. Open’s Promise of Pain Is Maximized

Sure, it might be a little weird that American golf’s national championship has a fetish for pain, but it’s also pretty fun

I agree with Nick that Sam's posts are invaluable, even if I don't share Sam's views in every particular. One important thing about today's argument: [1]
Nicholas Bagley@nicholas_bagley13 May 2025
If you haven't been reading Sam Bray's series on universal injunctions over at @DividedArgument in preparation for Thursday's oral argument in the birthright citizenship case, you are doing it wrong. (Links below.)

I think Sam underestimates the extent to which the question of whether a universal injunction is necessary/useful to ensure complete relief to the parties themselves will be central to today's argument. [2]

Sam assumes that "in the cases before the Court, an injunction could protect some plaintiffs from executive action related to birthright citizenship ... without protecting anyone else." But that's far from clear, and that's why it'll be a big part of the argument today. [3]
