Boomer here. I, too, blame the boomers. I’m not really sure what the topic is, but I still blame the boomers.

If I had $200 billion, I would create a public-private partnership to address the migrant crisis. I would create economic empowerment zones on borders, providing housing, child- and medical care, creating work and training opportunities, as well as legal aid.

I said the same thing at the AALS session on college sports. Great, intelligent, committed panelists, all insiders in college sports. Uniform response.

If you do, let me know how it goes. There’s not a lot of meat in the case, but there’s enough for a pretty clean hypo.

Apparently there was a decision last December granting a PI b/c plaintiffs had a likelihood of success on the merits. What was that about? Forum shopping/judge shopping or are the real questions about the CFPB’s power to issue this rule?

I taught at a Lutheran University that had an orientation for new faculty that focused on the question of whether one could be moral without belief. I was lucky enough to be in a discussion group that included the non-Christian provost who rejected the premise. Still, I never felt at home there.

The sad history of invocations of the state secrets privilege is riddled with instances in which the government has invoked it with respect to information that is available not only to third parties but to the general public. The gov is free to refuse to confirm or deny the information.

Come now. Contracts litigation always involves someone breaking down on the stand and tearfully confessing. "I did it! I did it! I clicked 'I agree' next to the terms of service, and I never clicked on the hyperlink!” Now that’s good drama!
