I'm holding out for a Chair in Law and plain-old I.

Interesting. I suspect perhaps it looks better if all you see is the top of the jacket. Regardless, there is no excuse for Trump's tie length.

He also doesn't realize that you unbutton your jacket when you sit down.

Duly noted. That will be a significant portion of the eventual Substack content.

Yes, plan to do that soon. This is bulky and hard to find.

Decided to make my own professional website. Tell me if you think there is anything worth adding or changing: sites.google.com/view/profess...

Thanks. I put one together on Google sites a few years back but never really used it. Just updated it. I'll email to talk more. Also, why multiple sites?

You write: "The Biden administration’s 2022 Nat. Def. Strategy mentioned “climate” 19 times. Climate change is a problem, but fighting it is not the military’s job." You simply hit control-F.

Legal academics: I am trying to decide whether it is worth the effort to develop and maintain a personal academic website. Questions: 1. do you have one?; 2. why do you think it valuable; 3. examples of sites you think are great; 4. services for creating/hosting/whatever you recommend?

that they can thus be so devised as to protect that community from any great degree of change, should appeal to him. There need be no more restriction than he and his neighbors decide are essential to that protection, for they are the ones who write the ordinance; . . .

Came across this article from 1948 defending zoning on Martha's Vineyard: vineyardgazette.com/news/1948/01...
"The New Englander dislikes change almost more than he dislikes regulation. Therefore the fact that each community must make its own zoning laws, . . .

"I have no response" would be more concise. Or "I have no spine" also works.
