The Judge says "she will appoint UChicago Consitutional law expert William Baude as an outside counsel. He'll be charged with filing an Amicus Brief that would clarify what powers the judge has under the consitution to appoint a special prosecutor and who that prosecutor would ultimately answer to."

Thrilled that my and @donfro.bsky.social's new paper, "Constitutional Rights and General Private Law," will be in the Harvard Law Review next year. It's a sequel to our 2023 Yale L.J. piece, "The Fourth Amendment and General Law." We need to revise, so no @SSRN yet, but here's the abstract:

Trump is trying to destroy academic freedom - he sees it as an impediment to his corruption of our democracy. I know university leaders, like those at Yale, are in a tough position given his attacks, but they are under no obligation to agree to anything other than what's required under existing law.

The ‘dog days’ of summer get their name due to their association with the Dog Star, Sirius, found in the constellation Canis Major. The first visible rising of Sirius occurs during the hot stretch from early July to early September. Woof.
