Seems like a day to remind everyone that I made my bones as an academic by being Noemi Rao’s biggest hater. Truly a worst case scenario is her on SCOTUS. I.e., stupidest flavor of evil among likely nominees. I think there’s a section of her wiki page dedicated to me calling her a punk ass.

Anyone but Rao. Jfc.
Either Mascott or Rao seem plausible to me. Rao's history on the bench is certainly more Trumpy than most of his first-term appointments.

I am willing to admit that presidentialism is the greater short-term threat. But, god help me, I find juristocracy to be just a risible affront to the the project of self rule. Why do we care what these morons in robes think? It’s just a glaring indictment of our belief in our own capacities.

I track when I’m cited by administrators and legislators. That to me is worth a million scotus citations.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s a cause of doubt, not certainty, when judges enter the scholarly fray and support an argument?

1/x Really delighted to say that my coauthored piece with @jedshug.bsky.social, “Quasi-Judicial: A History and Tradition” just landed with the Columbia Law Review. We really appreciate the editors’ hard work! This is a piece that retells the story of American admin law and Humphrey’s Executor.

I'm proud to announce that I have defended my finance dissertation and that this summer I will become an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Texas at Austin! Most of all, I would like to thank Roberta Romano, whose JD-PhD program in finance changed my career.

This paper has placed with Columbia. Its little sibling article is still up for grabs for the enterprising law journal! They are deeply intertwined and recast the history of American admin law.

Great pick up by the Columbia Law Review — and bravo to @beaubaumann.bsky.social and @jedshug.bsky.social! It’s a great and important piece. And another reminder that the federal government has simply never been the hierarchically-structured pyramid the Roberts Court and Trump claim it is.

I was extra influenced by @emilysbremer.bsky.social , who is in my opinion the dean of the quasi-judicial category. She has a new piece out with my the chair of my PhD Committee, ~Wild~ Bill Eskridge , that would be well worth your time.

David French need to read more people like Vermeule on the “maximalist” unitary executive. A vision of a state that is the manifestation of presidential will has been there since the beginning.
