    This seems backwards to me, mostly. A decade ago, quality sound on the go meant a pocket headphone amp wired to deep-seated inner-ear earphones or clunky over-the-ear cans. Today? …

    Since I'm a reasonably well-known textualist, I'll bite: First, the court was not asked to reconsider the meaning of the First Amendment. In the US, we generally hew to the rule of…

    What a tendentious headline. Of course an employer has the right to hold an information session for its employees and convey its views. The Supreme Court held in 1941 that nothing …

    I don't think your second point is correct. Congress could most certainly empower EPA to administer a cap-and-trade scheme or even some kind of phase-out, as it did with (respectiv…

    Ah, forgotten records, including the musings of poet Allen Ginsburg, provide a secret decoder ring to interpreting the Clean Air Act. This is not, of course, how one interprets sta…

    Some context: any litigator will have access to Westlaw or Lexis-Nexis to look up and verify cited authorities like cases. It’s considered bad practice, at best, to cite authoritie…

    Impressive! I asked, "How did oral argument go in that home equity theft case?" The case, Tyler, was argued in the Supreme Court yesterday. The response, while brief, lines up with…
