Should former President Trump be immune from criminal charges for actions taken while in office? SCOTUS heard oral arguments yesterday and @lawfareblog's @jacklgoldsmith and I broke it down. Listen: bit.ly/3y2Hkcv
.@JoshMBlackman on the clear statement rule that came up in oral argument in Trump v US. reason.com/volokh/2024/04… via @reason
Grateful to @PreetBharara for having me on his show to talk about Trump v. US. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sta…
The argument went as I thought it would. No real appetite for Trump's v broad immunity argument, and near-exclusive concern about the impact on future presidencies--abusive and virtuous--and with the application/constitutionality issues getting big play. lawfaremedia.org/article/the-co…

@jacklgoldsmith I’d say not a nationalist project fundamentally-but even to the extent it is, one that broadens opportunity and shares fairly in the new economy rather than hankering for manufacturing?
I’m very grateful for the generous blurbs for my forthcoming book. I do feel like it’s one of the best things I’ve written, and it reflects decades of my thinking about the foreign affairs powers of the government. It’s never too early to pre-order! amazon.com/Historical-Glo…
What is that plausible sequel? 😊
Fascinating Robert Lighthizer interview. Hard to think of a more transformative recent US government official, though ultimately his 1950s restorationism is not a plausible sequel to the neoliberalism he’s done more than anyone to displace. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

I wrote a whole article a month ago about how college admins have no one but themselves to blame for the pickle they’re currently in. However, the right really needs to make up its mind whether it wants to neutralize DEI safetyism or expand its scope.
