[How are the remedies supposed to work?] (Continued from prior posts.) The more I think about it, the more confused I am by how the various SB8 challenges are supposed to work, even if they succeed. Consider the following outcomes: An injunction granted to the provider plaintiffs, barring a defendant class of state court clerks from accepting SB8 suits. An SB8 plaintiff (call him Joe) goes to a Texas state court to file his lawsuit and demand his $10,000. The clerk obeys the injunction, so she… [read post]

[Why originalist criticisms of Dobbs often misfire, and why criticisms *of* Dobbs's originalism often misfire too.] Was Dobbs an originalist opinion? Did it abandon originalism for "history and tradition"? Or did the Court's history show originalism itself to be fatally flawed? I'd say "yes," "no," and "of course not." To that end, I've got a new paper, forthcoming in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, defending… [read post]

[A keynote address to the Symposium on Common Good Constitutionalism.] In October 2022, a symposium was held at Harvard on my colleague Adrian Vermeule's book Common Good Constitutionalism. Though I have many disagreements with the project, I was honored to present the keynote address, "According to Law," which is now among the papers published in the latest issue of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy. Here's the abstract: What we ought to do, according to law,… [read post]

[How a use tax on mifepristone might scramble abortion debates.] Yesterday in my conflict of laws class I taught South Dakota v. Wayfair, the 2018 case which lets states force out-of-state sellers to collect and remit use taxes. This morning I wondered why it hasn't been invoked more in the debates over interstate restrictions on abortion. Wayfair involved a South Dakota requirement that businesses pay sales taxes on the products they sell into the state. If they don't, their customers… [read post]

[A long history of amending resolutions with legal effect.] When Congress proposed the Equal Rights Amendment in 1972, it specified in its joint resolution (86 Stat. 1523), agreed to by two-thirds of each House, that the ERA would become valid "when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission by the Congress." Not enough states ratified before the seven years elapsed, or even before the end of a three-year… [read post]

[Would the outcome in Dobbs put originalism in doubt?] Josh Blackman quotes a conservative 3L as suggesting that, if the Dobbs case doesn't overrule Roe, he or she might have to give up on originalism. I've heard sentiments like these before, and I have to say, they puzzle the heck out of me. Why would anyone upset by Dobbs conclude, "gosh, I'd better change what I believe the Constitution says about recess appointments and the Confrontation Clause"? What kind of views of… [read post]
