You Can’t Say That! Blurbs:
My publisher, the Cato Institute, has collected a nice group of blurbs about You Can’t Say That!, mostly from reviews: “Bernstein superbly navigates the rough waters of the statutory and case law that attempt to curb discriminatory practices by both public and private organizations. . . . Bernstein carefully leads readers through specific problem areas […]
The Supreme Court’s Refusal to Consider the Massachusetts Same-Sex Marriage Decision:
Reason Express writes: It is difficult to tell exactly what message the U.S. Supreme Court sent by rejecting, without comment, a conservative challenge to the Massachusetts same-sex marriage experiment. Does the court want a better, clearer case to address the issue? Do the justices really want the states to hash it out amongst themselves? Do […]
My Thoughts on a Journalist’s Privilege,
with talk of Plame and blogs and more, are in this morning’s New York Times, squeezed into 840 words.
Disability Law Blog:
The number and diversity of lawprof blogs continues to grow. The latest welcome addition is Disability Law, by lawprof Sam Bagenstos. (Link: Howard)
Judge Gettleman:
While the Question Presented series over at Underneath Their Robes promises lots of fluff, the latest installment is an exception. Judge Gettleman seems like a genuinely cool guy.
My Exchange With Ramesh Ponnuru in The Corner
In the Corner on NRO, Ramesh Ponnuru responds to Jonathan Adler’s column by asking: Why should the analysis of whether criminalizing the medicinal use of marijuana is a legitimate federal power turn on whether a state government has taken a view of the matter? If I follow your argument correctly, the federal government doesn’t have […]
Pronouncing the Capital Letters:
A couple of readers asked what I could possibly mean by saying that
Verve:
Going through a draft of my Child Custody and Speech Restrictions paper — it’s the one I should be working on now instead of blogging this — I realized what it was missing: Verve. “Energy and enthusiasm in the expression of ideas . . . . Vitality; liveliness.” My writing was the usual lawyerese, flabby […]
Value of the Mainstream Media:
It’s blogosphere-hip to question the value of the mainstream media, but it seems to me that this isn’t the kind of value that most people expect CNN to deliver: PR Meets Psy-Ops in War on Terror On the evening of Oct. 14, a young Marine spokesman near Fallouja appeared on CNN and made a dramatic […]
Adler on Importance to Federalism of Raich v. Ashcroft:
The press correctly reported the fact that the questions directed towards me were pretty intense. Only one Justice from the “Federalist Five” evinced any awareness of the implications to the Court’s so-called “Federalism Revolution” of reversing the Ninth Circuit’s decision. This was Justice O’Connor in her tough questions to Paul Clement. (Interestingly, she asked me […]
Free Culture:
For those of you who may be interested, a copy of my review (in Reason magazine) of Larry Lessig’s most recent book (“Free Culture”) is posted here.
Yale Outsmarts Harvard:
Michael Froomkin has the scoop.
SCOTUS.com:
“SCOTUS” is what some people call the Supreme Court Of The United States. (Some use POTUS for the President as well.) We see evidence of that in the name of SCOTUSBlog, a first-rate blog written by Supreme Court litigators, though in my experience the term “SCOTUS” is actually fairly rare among clerks and Supreme Court […]
