Come for the APA claims, stay for the 42-page state standing analysis regarding downstream effects of the MAHA certification for single Turkey on the Minnesota poultry industry.

Good tip, but just don’t forget to delete the extra 32674 lines between paragraphs that copying and pasting to Outlook will inevitably insert.

This sounds very on brand for an administration that also believes Antifa is a literal organization.

Best (worst?) example of this I have heard of is the (possibly apocryphal) story of the town that invited James Earl Jones to speak at an MLK Jr. Day memorial, but accidentally hung up a banner welcoming James Earl *Ray*.

Also bizarre to me how much people use work email for personal matters. Like, I know WAY more about that CEO's kid's baseball career at a private high school than I ever cared to know.

This. My favoite: doing doc review for plaintiff-side antitrust litigation in an anti-merger case and finding the defendant's CEO felt compelled to text someone (quite literally) "we just dont have any competitors"

Whatever I was doing worked out pretty well, given how law school went for me.But maybe your classes are just intentionally structured in a way that makes much of the discussion not worth memorializing? I don’t mean that in a pejorative way; maybe your classes focus on background, policy debate etc?

I understand wanting to keep students off the internet, but I would have broken my hand if I had had to take notes in class without a laptop, and my notes would have been a much less detailed and much less useful reflection of the class discussion.

This is hard to swallow from someone whose book titles are so histrionic.

That ignores lower courts entirely, though, where Trump has lost over and over and govt has typically complied (albeit with foot dragging) with orders.

It's a turnover, not a donut, because IEEPA was meant to overturn the unbridled discretion granted to President in TWEA. But it's a stale turnover after SCOTUS killed the legislative veto.

Does Lies of Locke Lamora count as fantasy/organized crime? A little too violent at times for my tastes, but it softens the edges with some humor and a really engaging plot. I'd recommend it

Bill Watterson has always been reluctant to license Calvin and Hobbes. Might be easiest to roll the dice on the handouts being fair use.

Wackiest ending would be a Myles Straw walkoff hit after TOR acquired him only as part of a deal to accrue more international bonus money to make a run at Sasaki.

yes, but answer to that argument is many statutes actually do expressly allow the regular forces to enforce the law. See fn 224 here: www.congress.gov/crs-product/... Section 12406(3) comes into play when one of those statutes applies but the regular forces are insufficient to carry out the statute

When one of those statutes doesn't apply, though, the default rule of the Posse Comitatus Act applies, and 12406 does not override that default rule.

There are many statutes that provide President *can* deploy regular troops to enforce laws. E.g. 16 USC 23, 22 USC 408. Best way to think of 12406 is that it allows President to supplement regular troops deployed under one of those statues if necessary b/c regular troops are insufficient.

Thank you for making the argument I have been wondering about ever since the 9th Circuit accepted that "regular forces" refers to civilian law enforcement personnel.

Sounds interesting, and I’d love to hear the discussion—is there a live stream by any chance?

Plain text of the Constitution? Can you explain at all? Miranda itself is just a prophylactic rule designed to protect the rights that *are* in the plain text.

Don’t worry. On appeal, SCOTUS will determine it was actually a non-jurisdictional claims processing rule.
