It’s the knee-jerk phenomenon in which all criticisms of the current Court are necessarily partisan and/or otherwise illegitimate.

It’s pretty tiresome, it’s not new, and it’s enabling all kinds of behavior that is bad for the Court and the country—a possibility these folks refuse to even consider.

Just law professors treating this like a job talk paper I guess? I don’t know man, it’s a weird response. Different producers of knowledge and such.

I think the article reports that there’s several lower courts judges pissed at SCOTUS. Which seems true. The better question is who the hell cares.

I guess I think its limitations are obvious on its face and laid out by the writers. Does the Times have thickly articulated norms against this? (I imagine outrage if it was the basis for a law review article, but is this bad journalism?) Is it even misleading anyone?

You literally can't trust Trump to faithfully execute any laws, much less than the ones even signs www.govexec.com/pay-benefits...

Trump administration’s claims against automatic furloughed worker backpay lack legal, historical basis

Experts say the White House’s new theory that the 2019 Government Employee Fair Treatment Act does not guarantee feds backpay following a shutdown fails a basic tenet of legal analysis.

This response could itself be cause for more demands that might secure Art I prerogatives. Healthcare should be center stage, but Art I can’t be left out to dry. Use the opportunity to expand the conflict, me says.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

If you want more on this view that Jamelle’s talking about, Dearborn’s “Power Shifts” is essential reading. This is a longstanding idea in constitutional politics always waiting for a Vought-like figure to be worked pure.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 19h

in vought's view, the president is a living embodiment of the "will of the people" and congress has no legitimate power to limit him

I know you’re not in the states, but citizens united is reviled in this country. I’d start the counter narrative there.

There is another way! You focus on their actions instead of their rhetoric gestures! This is how we treat many other state actors!

I too enjoyed reading @beaubaumann.bsky.social about how to build gov't capacity in an era of "Deep State" conspiracies. Key idea is a shift toward building authentic ties to communities. Contrasting examples of "representation:" 19th century's Freedmen's Bureau & today's ICE in border towns.

Thought provoking essay from @beaubaumann.bsky.social on how a post DOGE state capacity push should focus on fixing Congress + decentralizing DC bureaucracy + allowing agencies to communicate more with the public.

Rebuilding State Authority In A Post-Trump America

Most def! Especially the people who were there for the golden age of law twitter. The youth will never understand, and that might be for the best.

When my second book came out, Alyssa Milano tweeted that she wanted to buy a copy for every member of Congress.

@yalepress.bsky.social saw the tweet even before I did and had the brilliant idea to cut the price of the book roughly in half.

"If administrative law’s core mission is to curb unbridled political will, Trump has imperiled the field’s very existence. His vision would kill administrative law and replace it with administrative domination managed by a personalistic presidency."
