I am often asked why I labor to find law and the Constitution over issues now subject to "plenary power" like federal Indian law, foreign affairs, national security, &c.
This is why: these "non-legal matters" cannot be left to a lawless executive. They ought not be left to constitutional silence.

So very grateful and excited to have this essay published in Places Journal. What a team, what a gift!
What can you do with a closet-sized plot of overgrown land you didn’t know you inherited? In Hawai’i, the 19th-century laws that imposed private property continue to produce frictions and fictions of ownership + belonging.
