I am currently in the middle of his latest – and unfortunately last – book: The Changing Constitution: Constitutional Law in the Trump-Era Supreme Court. Fallon does a masterful job situating current doctrinal developments at the Court […]
I was wondering where Joel my fellow writer was today. Normally when I get up out here in Arizona, I see his words. I thought perhaps he was ill. Not so . . . As I read one of his comments elsewhere from yesterday, Joel is out doing what many of us should be doing […]
