Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Surely, right now, everyone can see the benefits of federalism, decentralizing power, etc., right? Right? 010
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Sovereign immunity is waived by statute. Under 28 USC 1498, a copyright infringement claim against the federal government can be brought in the Court of Federal Claims. 000
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Have hated him since Crossfire—and was giddy when Jon Steward destroyed him. 010
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 23/09/2026When it was released, Crush was especially popular with the music school/jazz performance gang. 010
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 22/09/2026How much damage did Chicago School economists do to this country? 000
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Could potentially support a claim under section 1 of the Sherman Act as well. 000
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Now, the super fun surprise is $2000 worth of Apple charges for in-app purchases. 050
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 04/08/2026This behavior is bad, but I nevertheless will vote in favor of the nominee who is responsible for the most extreme version of this bad behavior to date so as to demonstrate that this behavior is bad. 110
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 14/06/2026Curious about your patent and copyright point. Big Tech, including Musk, Google, Apple, etc. are anti-patent, sometimes vociferously. They don’t need patent protection because they have a first-mover advantage. I would think that invalidating patents and copyrights would be a gift to them. 000

Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 20/05/2026“Like poetry without rhyming”? I guess Yeats, TS Elliot, and Wallace Stevens were hacks. 010
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 17/05/2026As someone who has both Middle Eastern Arabs and Jewish Israelis in his family, you also cannot distinguish them by behavior, attitude, culture, cuisine, etc. If they are secular, there is no difference. 140

Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 04/05/2026This is the most underwear gnomes interview I’ve seen in a while. Is this the CEO of GameStop or the manager of a GameStop? 0190
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 02/05/2026How much of our country’s downfall is nostalgia for the good ol’ days when people could be openly racist? 010
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 12/04/2026One of my happiest years was grad school in London, when my wife and I lived in married student housing. Our housemates were families and couples from all over the world. There were only a few other Americans, and no other Jews. Our best friends were an Iranian family and Thai woman. 000
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 03/04/202695% of my job consists of writing. I am objectively very good at it and enjoy it. Last year, I began using AI for certain rote but time-consuming tasks, allowing me to spend more time on outlining and revising. But I guess that means I secretly hate writing and suck at it. 020
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 02/04/2026How the fuck do you describe what we all just watched that way? 050
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 31/03/2026The notion that Jewish employees would need the EEOC independently investigating to vindicate their rights as to potential discrimination claims makes me wonder whether the EEOC has ever actually met a Jewish person. (I’m Jewish.) 051
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Speaking as a representative, the bald community supports this post. Fuck this guy. 020
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Seems like a lowkey way to shrink hiring classes. Agree with the move though. 000
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Tillis has been trying to move these two bills forward for years. I don’t think practitioners give them high chances of passing. And with Squires’ tinkering with the PTAB, the energy around PREVAIL seems to have waned a bit among the pro-patent lobby. 000
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 24/03/2026He seems to have bounced around…a lot. 3 firms in a relatively short time. And while Wiley is a good firm, it is a step down in prestige from Gibson Dunn and Kirkland. 020
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Couldn’t agree more. 20 years ago, Philip Hamburger was defending Dred Scott as well-reasoned (despite superficial caveats concerning the outcome) in his Con Law class at a Top 5 law school. He has not become less influential in right wing legal circles since then… 032
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Agreed. Seeing mainstream Republican positions circa 2001 taken to their logical extremes seems to have produced a bit of soul searching. 010
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 09/03/2026At this point, many moderate republicans are supporting progressive policies. (See, e.g., Bill Kristol, George Conway, the Bulwark crowd.) 110
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 18/02/2026I’m in favor of the party that will do less awful things, even if they are unlikely to do everything I want. 0190
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 18/02/2026If you can’t see a difference between the parties at this point, I don’t know what to tell you. History shows that Dems do not build concentration camps, support murdering people in the street for exercising Constitutional rights, redistribute wealth to the richest .1%, or erect barriers to voting. 2291
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Whether it is a good system or not, we do have a two-party system. There are no third parties that can win national or statewide races. That’s reality. Voting for a candidate doesn’t mean you like them or that they’re a good person. It means they are better than the alternative. 2340
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 14/02/2026I honestly get excited when I receive the email every month with the new mandatory training episode I get to watch. 030
Morsley @morsley.bsky.social · 06/02/2026Given the massive opposition from commenters, do you think there is a possibility for a court to find proceeding with the rule would be arbitrary and capricious under the APA? I cannot recall an NPRM receiving this volume of negative response, let alone one in which the agency adopted the rule. 020
