It was an honor to be with other OT13 Supreme Court clerks to support our friend Sparkle Sooknanan at her investiture as a federal judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The country is better off because of Sparkle's service.

On the 🚂 from RVA ➡️ DC for the @tamu.bsky.social Center on the Structural Constitution's 1st annual scholarly conference, Fundamentals & Frontiers of Federalism. Excited to learn from an awesome group of constitutional scholars. Thanks to Georgetown Center for the Constitution for co-hosting!

Erik Siebert, like Danielle Sassoon, is an excellent lawyer I know and respect--and now a former U.S. Attorney, after pursuing justice without fear or favor. He's a former police officer who has dedicated his life to public service. What a sad situation. (Gift link in next post.)

Hi! 👋 I'm excited to have a new draft article--"Ex Parte Young Redux"--that analyzes Young doctrine after CASA. I argue that in limited circumstances like the challenge to Texas's then-unconstitutional S.B. 8 abortion ban, people should be able to sue (gasp) states themselves ⬇️

Rest in peace, Dolley 💜🐾 15-plus years, 14 as part of our family. You were such a good girl. (If I didn't have a human daughter, I'd say you were the best girl I've ever known.)

For those interested in Judge Wilkinson's approach to cases asking courts to review executive-branch actions, @jacklgoldsmith.bsky.social & I (who both clerked for Wilkinson) published an essay about just that last fall. Read it here ➡️ papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers..... Bottom line here ⬇️
