Big fan of free speech and academic freedom. Strongly recommend avoiding UNH Franklin Pierce Law until change to less toxic leadership and more positive student treatment. She/her or gender neutral pronouns.

Sunstein posted an admirably frank essay yesterday on the Unitary Executive Theory:
How he participated in this elite bipartisan political consensus —
and how he has been persuaded by overwhelming historical evidence that he & other high-ranking lawyers were wrong.

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

The only way to fix the mess we are making by overruling Humphrey’s Executor is to make another mess by overruling the intelligible principle test! Then, as the Framers and G-d himself intended, the 6 Republicans on SCOTUS will have all the legislative, executive, and adjudicative power!

@wbur.org and ProPublica found that as many as 47 states allow more time to charge rapes or similar assaults of adults than Massachusetts, where attempts to lengthen the statute of limitations have failed every session since 2011.

DNA Finally Tied a Man to Her Rape. It Didn’t Matter.

Seventeen years after Louise was raped, Boston police told her they had a DNA match for her alleged rapist. But under Massachusetts state law, the case would be almost impossible to prosecute.

If Megan Carpenter is a finalist for the dean ship at West Virginia University School of Law, they must be pretty freaking desperate. Of course it would be a huge relief for everyone at New Hampshire to be free of her evil presence for good.
