It was such a privilege to work with @nwdonahue.bsky.social and the fantastic lawyers at Patterson Belknap on this amicus brief for the Slaughter case, about whether Trump can fire the commissioners of the FTC.
The brief recovers crucial history the Court and most lawyers have missed. 1/3

Reading Ernst Fraenkel for class tomorrow. His discussion of the ways German courts accommodated the Nazi coup is so good — and has more than a few upsetting resonances.

In the brief, Jane Manners argues that the history is clear: presidents don’t have unfettered authority to remove independent agency officials, such as FTC Commissioner Slaughter. Read: bit.ly/4nSvm9B

A new paper from Gary Lawson & me:
"Presidential Removal as Article I, Not Article II"
Limits on congressional power to create independent agencies like the Fed & FTC don't come from Art II "Executive Power" absolutism.
See the Necessary and Proper Clause instead:

I don’t want to dunk on Blanche; I want to understand him. Is it just a matter of what we focus on? Ie: he can’t see past the Smith documents case and doesn’t think Ed Martin is a big deal?
Or is this not meant to be a truthful statement? He knows it’s misleading but it’s useful for him to say?

Fantastic thread
Some thoughts on the CR/minibus.
1 The Dems negotiating with Rs were not freelancing. They coordinated with Sen Schumer. A few were ready to give in on day one, others worked to maximize appropriations wins.
Those voting for the 'deal' are the ones furthest away from electoral consequences.

12) With the way the CR/minibus fight ended, real doubts about whether the Dems are smart... at least their leadership. Republicans negotiated good cop, bad cop, crazy cop.
What was the Dem ldrship negotiating strategy? Pretend to be one way to the public and another in private. Not good.

7) If it were me, I wouldn't agree to fund the FSGG approps bill that funds the WH/OMB without policy riders that take away the administration's funding to pursue things like impoundment, etc. Why should Russ Vought have any staff? Saying "no" here is a policy win. If they do it.

Read the most amazing debate-me-bro take and akshually maybe this is great like people are coming up with crazy new ideas and maybe taxing single men over thirty won’t solve all our problems but it will help remind people that we can do wild things (like a confiscatory top marginal tax rate)

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.

This is DHS basically admitting they know that their agents' texts are highly incriminating, right?
No one in their right mind would adopt a policy like this in the name of "efficiency." This is CLEARLY designed to facilitate unintentional and intentional non-compliance.

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages.
Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time.
