If this is accurate, in the near term it’ll lead to a lot more required non-AI certification statements, don’t you think?
Powerful comments from my dear colleague @rcolker.bsky.social

Pentagon identifies 4 soldiers killed by Iranian attack trib.al/BPggAs3
The 3d Cir. will not rehear this case en banc.
Judge Bove writes the principal dissent from denial of rehearing, bemoaning the fact that the panel helps "fund aliens' efforts to prolong their stay in this Country."
Note: EAJA only pays in these cases where the noncitizen WINS THEIR CASE.
Today the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) provides that the prevailing private party “in any civil action (other than cases sounding in tort)” brought by or against the United States is entitled to attorneys’ fees and costs if the Government’s position was not “substantially justified” or “special circumstances make an award unjust.” 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d)(1)(A). Adolph “Lee” Michelin and Adewumi Abioye prevailed in habeas actions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 challenging their immigration detentions. The District Courts found the Government’s positions were not “substantially justified” and awarded the detainees fees and costs. The main question these consolidated cases present is whether a petition for a writ of habeas corpus from immigration detention under § 2241 is an EAJA “civil action.” We answer yes and thus affirm.
3d Cir. holds that habeas corpus petitions challenging immigration detention are "civil actions," so prevailing noncitizens may be entitled to attorneys' fees and costs under the Equal Access to Justice Act.
Gonna be a loooooooooot of these.

Terrific essay by @bjeromy.bsky.social on Thomas's dissent in Learning Resources. www.yalejreg.com/nc/vesting-c...
Who is writing the End of the Presumption of Regularity? Instant classic just waiting to be published.
NEW: The Trump administration's federal layoffs left our region teetering on the edge of a recession, altering the trajectories of thousands of our neighbors’ lives.
The 51st spoke to seven former federal workers about what they've been up to in the year since — and where they hope to go next.
I went to the doctor today just to be told (gently, carefully, and with empathy) to do the things he told me to do last time (but which I didn’t really do). Sigh.
Oh look Kansas is making headlines again.
TL/DR: There’s a years long history behind that letter re: drivers licenses being revoked for trans folks.
Including litigation (that the attorney general LOST). Which was why he urged the legislature to intro SB 244 and rush it thru in a gut and go.
*Chef’s kiss*
My abuelo went to NYC from Cuba during WWII and he worked as a snow shoveler for years before saving enough money to go back to Cuba so he could really start his life. Till his very last day - and I am not kidding - he carried his NYC snow shoveler ID in his wallet with pride.
Respect is long due.
No for sure the fact that the kings of Wessex thought something was a royal prerogative is pretty strong evidence, why am I being a baby?
Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
I'm delighted to share that this article will be published in the @yalelawjournal.bsky.social.
As promised, I've posted the draft @ssrn.bsky.social: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
What he means is non-delegation doctrine, as I note. That’s pro-Congress legislating details even when it doesn’t want to. It’s not pro-Congress in any real sense. It’s like saying a rule requiring scribes to write in their own blood rather than in ink is “pro-scribe.”
Here's a short 🧵on the self-contradictory nature of the Gorsuch concurrence in the tariffs case. In response to Kagan's claim (in WV v EPA) that the major questions doctrine (MQD) is "anti-administrative state," Gorsuch says no, it's "pro-Congress." /1

For my dear civil servants doing their best to serve the public:
I see you, I appreciate you. You are carrying a heavy burden. ❤️
Before law school I was a paralegal at the DOJ Antitrust Division and I took a photo at Main Justice (this bldg).
That building is a monument to the best of our American spirit.
This is grotesque.

This program is sooooo special, you guys. And tickets to our games are around $10-15. SURE, football is fine (jk I love it) but have you seen our women's hockey team? 🤌🤌🤌
Joy Dunne, Cayla Barnes and Hannah Bilka help the United States win gold as eight current and former Ohio State women’s hockey players win Olympic medals.
Snip of X post by OSU Women's Hockey account noting that 3 Buckeyes helped Team USA take gold.
THAT'S RIGHT! 🥇
Bridget offers a useful corrective to the buzzwordification of how we talk about government—and, if we're not careful, how we actually govern. "We can likely make great progress in regulatory policy by letting algorithms into our loop, not the other way around."
