The government can’t get an email warrant if the account holder consents, court (wrongly) rules
Another puzzling decision from Magistrate Judge James Orenstein of Brooklyn.
Prof. Michael McConnell on Brexit and British constitutional law
The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom is about to decide: May the Brexit referendum take effect without a vote of Parliament?
We Americans expect results, and quick!
President-elect Trump "promised to Repeal Obama care" and "also promised to deport the illegal aliens" but "has not yet repealed Obama care nor deported illegals." And his wife is a "born Communist from Russia."
4th Circuit strikes down North Carolina residency/movement restrictions on sex offenders
The 4th Circuit strikes down North Carolina's statute making it a crime for sex offenders to go anywhere that minors "regularly gather."

Getting sex by saying ‘If you don’t have sex with me I will find someone who will’ = rape or sexual assault?
[UPDATE: The University has removed the definition from its site, and reports that the definition was "not current [university] policy."]
A reply to Professor Lessig on the electoral college
Professor Lessig has graciously responded to my post on how electors should vote. Here's a summary of his response together with my reply.

Federalism and the Roberts Court
My new article on the Roberts Court's record on federalism issues. Recently published in Publius: The Journal of Federalism.
Leonard Cohen’s work did sometimes focus on sex, but this is ridiculous
A Rolling Stone typo.
