[Dean Treanor is right to assert Georgetown's First Amendment right to "teach DEI" in the face of Trump Administration threats.] I'm almost two weeks late to this party, but I wanted to congratulate Dean William Treanor of Georgetown Law for his strong response to the letter sent by Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin insisting that Georgetown Law "eliminate[] all DEI from [the] school and its curriculum", and threatening not to hire any Georgetown graduate if it fails to… [read post]

[Despite a recent Fifth Circuit case, Carter v. Carter Coal Co. (1936) doesn't limit private delegations.] This is one of a series of posts on the Fifth Circuit's recent "private nondelegation case", National Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Ass'n v. Black, where it struck down the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act for delegating power to a private organization, the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority. In Monday's post, I explained how A.L.A.… [read post]

[Maybe some universities can continue to do race-based affirmative action, even after SFFA v. Harvard.] My article Expressive Discrimination: Universities' First Amendment Right to Affirmative Action has finally been published by the Florida Law Review. In these days of federal attacks on private DEI, maybe some private universities might find this useful as a strategy for fighting back against the Trump Administration! I'll reproduce the Abstract and Introduction today, and continue to… [read post]

[More on an important free-speech case from the recent Supreme Court Term] Maybe I'm a bit late with this post, because it's been about four months, and there's been a wealth of other posts on the subject on this blog (see, e.g., these posts from Dale Carpenter, David Post, and Richard Re). But I did write an op-ed about 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis in July on the Emory Law News Center website, and since this is, after all, an important civil-rights precedent, I thought I would finally… [read post]

[The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority has an Appointments Clause problem.] Today, the Fifth Circuit will be hearing oral arguments in National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association v. Jerry Black (listen to the livestream at 3pm CT!). I submitted an amicus brief on the side of the challengers, arguing that the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority is unconstitutional because its members haven't been appointed consistently with the Appointments Clause. A bit of… [read post]

I just made a new Esperanto film, which I've submitted to an Esperanto film festival (the 6th American Good Film Festival). (It's really short: under five minutes long. And don't worry: it has English subtitles.) It's called "Mesaĝo en botelo," or "Message in a bottle." My kids (and a couple of others) have acting or voice roles in it, and my twelve-year-old son Mark did the video editing. You might remember my Esperanto film from last year, "Honesta… [read post]
