Should be interesting to see Humphreys try to answer questions on this without the irono-meter exploding, but much more serious than her presenting the medal is the fact that the Gardaí decided to honour this person in the first place. Utterly chilling.

I have an important deadline this week, which means I am locked in, focused, and un-distractible.

It's a pity Professor Vermeule hadn't thought up common good constitutionalism when he was defending Bush-era torture policies. There were plenty of vacuous arguments for absolute executive power back then, but this one would really have come in handy.

The only Government quote in the IT piece is vague fluff about considering all of the options arising out of the review of RPZs.

Sometimes it can be hard to balance my day job with my other role as Chief Taste Assurance Officer at my wife Sophie's micro-bakery, but I do my best.

Some lovely digital post today. Thrilled with the cover design for my book, coming out early next year with OUP's Oxford Legal Philosophy series.
The book is an anti-positivist theory of statutory interpretation in UK public law - perfect for your undergrad reading lists or children's birthdays.
