I have no issues with the ABA's DEI program as long as it gives up its monopoly on law school accreditation.
The American Bar Association urged the Trump administration to roll back its executive order calling for federal investigations into diversity and inclusion efforts by bar associations, citing the groups' First Amendment rights

@jadler1969 @reason @VolokhC You said it remains in place for the current FY, but the CR expires in March. If they pass an omnibus, the rider may be dropped.

Today I learned that before INS v. Chadha ended the legislative veto, presidents had broad authority to restructure or abolish agencies and Congress faced the burden to disapprove any change.

They made this possible by giving the CFPB director full discretion over the agency's budget in Dodd-Frank. I'm sure Republicans would support making the agency accountable to Congress by requiring it to be funded via appropriations.
File this in the category of “why Dems may not have any interest in helping republicans keep govt open”

The Revolving Door Project wanted Biden to free IRS leaker Charles Littlejohn from prison and is now mad about who Trump permits to access sensitive data.
NEW: The WSJ editorial board recently criticized our @kenny_stancil for pushing President Biden to commute the outrageously long sentence of IRS whistleblower Charles Littlejohn. Here he explains what the board got wrong and why Littlejohn's detractors are so upset.

Does Judge Engelmayer think Ken Griffin could obtain a court order barring Booz Allen from accessing IRS data because it previously employed a leaker who sent thousands of tax returns to the press?

Before the DOGE episode I had never thought there was information in the executive branch that the president doesn't have control over.

This is the first case I've seen raise a claim under the Equal Rights Amendment. I suspect it may be resolved on other grounds, but still worth watching.
I just filed a lawsuit against the US Office of Personnel Management challenging the federal government's decades' long refusal to provide equal fringe health care benefits to federal employees.

I suspect major universities will sue. They've become accustomed to recovering far higher rates from the government.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
