(1) Hi y’all 👋 I’m on the academic hiring market this year!! I’m a PhD at Yale. My job talk is a timely piece of legal history exploring Myers, Humphrey’s Executor, and the future of the unitary executive (not in the news at all 😅). Happy to send a copy! My top five courses were con law, admin law, civil procedure, immigration law, and legislation.

Hi! 👋 I'm excited to have a new draft article on Ex parte Young, inc. analyzing the doctrine in light of CASA. I argue that in limited circumstances like the challenge to Texas's then-unconstitutional S.B. 8 abortion ban, people should be able to sue (gasp) states themselves ⬇️

Delighted to be in @TheRegReview “in depth” this morning on how to think about the civil service — my contribution to the Schedule F discourse. It begins elaborating a realist defense of bureaucracy as the worst-besides-all-others way of doing popular sovereignty. (1/3)

This @nyulawreview article reveals how #civilservants can check & limit presidential power through #collectivebargaining, challenging the traditional view of the executive branch as a strict top-down hierarchy. Read: spkl.io/6012fMcfu Subscribe: spkl.io/6015fMcfT

Thank you so much @jamiesonwebster for your remarkable review of « the madman in the White House » in the @LAReviewofBooks smart, informed, and challenging on Freud’s interpretation of leaders in power
The psychoanalytic establishment turned its back on Freud and Bullitt’s Woodrow Wilson book. A new manuscript shows how Bullitt edited out many of Freud’s most radical points. I fell in love with this gossiped about and bullied text. @LAReviewofBooks thank you @MedayaO

Fiscally irresponsible to eliminate one of the only no-cost bargaining chips available to compete for talented workers the public sector needs.
