I have had the same employer sponsored health insurance for 21 years. My premium is nearly doubling from this year’s rate as of 1/1/26.

To be fair, a number of scholars have advocated moving from quarterly to semi-annual reporting, which is the norm in Europe. This would require amending the Exchange Act.

Students come up to me with updates after almost every class. Today it was that the tariffs were all paused for 90 days (save for China).

If assets within a jurisdiction are still subject to wealth tax (land, local securities, etc), leaving the jurisdiction would be substantially less attractive than it is without a wealth tax. Many of the folks who have renounced US citizenship for tax purposes still have massive investments there.

Still with a PE ratio of almost 130! Volkswagen and General Motors are both at about 4.5. It is a meme stock.

I expect that many religiously affiliated universities will use 1a religion clause arguments in this way.

Even in corporate law. I covered board function and makeup yesterday, so we discussed diversity requirements in W Europe and the rules CA had approved.

Some of these folks will be cited when the question comes before the SCt, so I appreciate 14thA and legal history experts addressing them now.

The opening 15 minutes or so of The Corporation. It doesn’t explain everything, but it describes the incentives created by the corporate form in concentrating wealth.

Powell RELIGIOUS ORIGINALISM This document discusses the theory of originalism in constitutional interpretation and its use in First Amendment religion clause cases. It outlines the development of originalism starting in the 1970...

In Religious Originalism at 340-1, I noted the OK school challenge and argued that the SCt is likely to allow religious charters in states that have secular charters with state funding under Carson. Accelerating these cases makes that seem even more likely. www.scribd.com/document/713...

I had students attend the hearing, and they recounted the reported exchange as β€œjaw dropping.” They felt as if they were observing something significant and historic.
