I'm thrilled to say I was recently promoted to become the director of @CatoInstitute's Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies. I wouldn't be here without the three directors who came before me. Here's what they, and the Center, mean to me.

Law students: Just one week left to apply to be a summer legal intern at @CatoInstitute! 3Ls: Applications to be a one-year post-graduate legal associate are open through the end of the month.
Apply to be a Cato legal associate or legal intern and help write amicus briefs in the most interesting and important cases of the year.

@StevenTDennis 31 USC 5111 says "shall mint and issue coins described in section 5112 of this title in amounts the Secretary decides are necessary to meet the needs of the United States," so again arguably wiggle room if Secretary decides we don't need any more pennies.

The Constitution gives federal judges life tenure and salary guarantees so that they can defend individual rights against popularly-enacted laws. Removing judges from office for unpopular decisions would weaken constitutional protections.
I’d like to propose that the worst 1% of appointed judges, as determined by elected bodies, be fired every year. This will weed out the most corrupt and least competent.

@EdWhelanEPPC @amazon @RyanTAnd Agree that selling the book is the right decision, but I don't think the government can or should tell booksellers which books they should sell (if you're suggesting that the government or courts get involved).
