JD/MS/CPA. Retired. I despise corruption. It is a poison which is inevitably corrosive to any society. I fight it where I can. I write extensively on constitutional theory from an originalist and textualist perspective. COTUS locuta est, causa finita est.

Ukraine is worth saving. I came to that conclusion in 2013. But we need to remove the cancer that is Muscovy from the planet.

He's the guy who wrote Lujan. I tried to remove him and Thomas from office in an attempt to enforce Art. 3 good behavior tenure fifteen years ago. But KBJ was DEI, even back then. Luttig is right. The courts fucked us over first.

"Ah feel yore pain!" The hard rule: Trump Judges always vote in The Don's interest, subject to a judicial Overton Window. But explaining why this limitation exists is deuced difficult. Working title of draft brief section: Jeffrey Epstein Standing.

2/ Pollution is a subsidy to the polluter. There are costs associated with effecting remediation of AGW. There are countervailing costs associated with doing nothing. The rational course is in the somewhere in the middle. Ask an actuary for a property insurer.

Suncor v. Boulder: A right without a remedy is a contradiction in terms. Ashby v. White, [1703] 92 Eng. Rep. 126, 136 (H.C.). We know Exxon knew. Can they lie with impunity? You have to see the aftermath of that fire to fully grasp the problem./2

Constitutional Catholicism. Problem is, we're living through the reign of Pope Innocent VIII.

Constitutional Catholicism: "The crucial move is from reverence for the Constitution to deference to its judicial interpreters. Once those things are fused, challenges to judicial power can be equated to challenges to constitutional government itself." It must be the reign of Pope Innocent VIII.

I tried to take him out 15 years ago. But for the Notorious DEI 2.0, KBJ, you would not have the Roberts Court.

The judiciary is the proximate cause. Not just the Roberts Six, but trial courts as well.

Slaughter and Cook can be reconciled only by declaring the Federal Reserve constitutionally unique, an exception found neither in Article II nor in Slaughter’s reasoning. The distinction is intelligible as policy, but exceedingly difficult to defend as constitutional law.

Nothing wrong with the design. Had Ketanji done her job, we would not have the 6-3 Roberts Court. Scire facias and private criminal prosecution, plus divestiture of all appellate review from the Court in favor of a 48-person Nat'l Ct of Appeal, would fix it today. I blame the silence of academia.

As a former umpire, I object. The strike zone changed -- by "Congress." We had to follow it. Football revises its rules every year in the same way. That is originalism (art. VI, cl. 2). You identify why I revile your Red Queen Constitution. I can't know the law until after the case is over.

The season used to be 154 games. Might be a good idea to shorten the season and add playoff games. But back in the day, the season was over for almost everyone by Labor Day. So, there's that.

Jello Biafra put it best: If we can’t solve the problem of corruption, we can’t solve any of our problems. That has been my rap for 20 years.
