Big Free Speech Takeaway from Today’s Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton Porn Age Verification Decision
Today’s majority upholds an age verification requirement for online porn, which is of course the more speech-restrictive option in this case. And it upholds the law by concluding that the “strict scrutiny” test—which the Court generally uses to evaluate content-based restrictions on speech that falls outside the First Amendment exceptions—doesn’t apply to such age verification […]
My private nondelegation article and Reason Foundation amicus brief cited in FCC v. Consumers’ Research
Thanks to Eugene for blogging about Justice Jackson’s shout-out, in FCC v. Consumers’ Research, to my Notre Dame Law Review article, The Myth of the Federal Private Nondelegation Doctrine. (I’m in Paris today and just saw Notre Dame from the top of the Eiffel Tower a few hours ago, so this makes sense.) He quoted […]
Supreme Court Rules 6–3 for Trump, Limits ‘Nationwide Injunctions’ in Birthright Citizenship Case
The Trump administration scored a notable legal victory today when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that federal district judges “likely exceed” their authority when they issue nationwide injunctions that entirely block federal laws or presidential orders from going into effect while legal challenges play out in court. The case, Trump v. CASA, arose from […]
A Bad Decision on Nationwide Injunctions
The Supreme Court. (NA) Today’s 6-3 Supreme Court decision in Trump v. CASA, Inc. barring nationwide injunctions is a grave mistake.

Exactly how bad it is depends on the extent to which other remedies might fill the gap left […]

Porn, Guns, Marriage, and Voting
From today’s majority opinion by Justice Thomas in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton: Age-verification laws like H. B. 1181 fall within States’ authority to shield children from sexually explicit content. The First Amendment leaves undisturbed States’ traditional power to prevent minors from accessing speech that is obscene from their perspective. Ginsberg v. New York (1968). […]
Why Did Justice Kagan Write So Little This Term?
Now that the Supreme Court has issued its final opinion of the term, we can see which justices wrote the most, and which wrote the least. Majority opinion assignments were fairly uniform: All of the justices had six or seven opinions for the Court, save for the most junior justice, Justice Jackson, who had five. […]
