Philly's 3rd Circuit sided with the National Park Service in a dispute over displays at the President's House in Independence Hall National Historical Park. #RutgersLaw Professor @adamgcrews.bsky.social comments on the city's effort to revive that case by seeking rehearing: bit.ly/3RSKeuT

Philly asks Third Circuit for new President’s House hearing, saying ruling set a dangerous precedent
City attorneys said that the three judges who unanimously allowed President Donald Trump's administration to replace the exhibit at the historic site were wrong on issues of "exceptional importance."

Very excited to be teaching Federal Courts for the first time today. Much less excited to be doing it while recovering from an emergency appendectomy.

For @scotusblog.com, I cover an arcane post-CASA question: Does a class action plaintiff with an inherently transitory claim need to file a protective motion for class certification to invoke the mootness exception for class actions, or is the complaint enough? www.scotusblog.com/2025/11/stat...

Re: Consumers’ Research. (I get it, no one cares!) The Article III problem in the case was a serious one because this legal issue does not “evade review” if petitioners use the right procedural vehicles to mount their challenge. (See below.) The Court’s resolution is more ipse dixit than analysis.

I had a baby law prof milestone today: With thanks to Judge Readler of the Sixth Circuit, I got my first judicial citation. This is all the more existing because the prevailing party was represented by my friend and former co-clerk Matt Rice.

A fun thing about being an absent-minded administrative law professor is that I have a note to myself from 2023 that reads “15 cfr 744 supp 5,” and I look at it every few months and never have the slightest clue what I was hoping to remind myself to do with that.

In a rush to criticize an entity that shits all over civil servants (DOGE), this framing ends up … shitting all over a civil servant who made an honest error. John Roberts isn’t at his keyboard hitting “send” on this stuff himself.

My most right-wing take is that we should impose the death penalty on PATCO riders who aren’t smart enough to allow two lanes of foot traffic into and out of the station.

I wonder if this is the type of stupid gimmick that the Founders might have deemed sufficient cause to refuse to seat Wisconsin’s congressional delegation, on the ground that Wisconsin no longer has a republican form of government.

Happy FCC v. Consumers’ Research day! This is a hugely important separation of powers case—both on the merits and in the sense that it doesn’t belong in an Article III court at all.

Two things can be true at once: 1) Trump’s targeting law firms for political reasons is bad. 2) Paul Weiss’s resolving that dispute by agreeing to (*re-checks notes*) help veterans and fight antisemitism (as opposed to, like, free legal services for J6ers?) is actually good.

Anora is not a good movie. After we watched it, I described it to my boyfriend as “literally pointless—a movie with no point.” It’s 20 minutes too long, the dialogue falls apart halfway through, and not a single character grows from the experience. Pointless and bad.
