NEWS: Federal judge overseeing the kids' climate change case has bowed to the strong signals from #SCOTUS and even the 9th Circuit, granting interlocutory appeal — meaning, an immediate appeal of the decision allowing the unprecedented case to go to trial. documentcloud.org/documents/5219…
The decision means the 3-year-old case will not be going to trial for the indefinite future. Here's my report on the #SCOTUS order that preceded today's order: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
Notably, while Chief Justice John Roberts is defending an "independent judiciary" to Trump, the district judge overseeing the kids' climate change case is defending "the independence of the district judge" to Roberts and the other justices at the Supreme Court.

#SCOTUS, Jan. 8, 2019. With most of the sights in DC shut down, the Supreme Court is drawing a big crowd even for relatively low-profile cases.
It's a one-box Tuesday here at #SCOTUS, meaning one or two decisions in argued cases should be coming at 10a.
The first decision is Justice Kavanaugh's first majority opinion, in Henry Schein, Inc. v Archer & White Sales, Inc., vacating the 5th Circuit in an arbitration case. The decision was unanimous. #SCOTUS

This @lachlan piece on the money that flows behind, underneath, beside, and in front of everything that Leonard Leo does contains at least 5 important stories within it: thedailybeast.com/top-trump-back…
There's so little we know about the funding behind the groups that have been behind the judicial nominations work that it's hard to know exactly what we've seen pieces of before, but there's a lot here.
First off, they posted the document, so kudos to the Daily Beast. documentcloud.org/documents/5676…

1/ Oral Arrguments in Timbs felt like McDonald v. Chicago redux.
In 2010, J. Stevens asked about Apodaca, and whether some rights could apply differently to federal and state governments. In 2018, RBG asked about Apodaca and non-unanimous jury trials. #SCOTUS
2/ In 2010, Paul Clement said Apodaca was an "outlier." In 2018, Wesley Hottot said Apodaca was "anomalous."
3/ In 2010, J. Ginsburg asked if the Court would have to incorporate the Grand Jury and Jury Trial Clauses. In 2018, J. Alito asks about other rights not incorproated, including the right to a grand jury proceeding.

1/ Judge Hanen declined to issue a preliminary injunction in the DACA case, but strongly hinted he would issue a declaration that DACA was unlawful. This decision is perhaps the least chaotic approach to tee this issue up for prompt #SCOTUS review.
scribd.com/document/38749…
2/ J. Hanen found he was not bound by the District Courts that previously issued nationwide injunctions. He's right. I made this point on @lawfareblog in May. The prior cases concerned legality of recission. Texas's case concerned legality of DACA itself lawfareblog.com/dueling-cosmic…
3/ Here is the crux of Judge Hanen's ruling. Texas failed today but will succeed on the merits

1. The arguments in this @newrepublic article by @emorwee that #climate is siloed in the press, that the press should tie every extreme weather/disaster event to #climate simply don't match up to the data. #envcomm #scicomm newrepublic.com/article/150124…
2. Staffers working at @mediamatters + @climateprogress (where @emorwee got her start) have long manufactured this claim + driving a self-serving narrative on the Left that the news media is failing in its coverage of climate change.
3. But this narrative & its embrace by those on the Left reflects a classic hostile media effect. As @lfeldman17 reviews the most partisan on an issue see news coverage as biased to their position even when it may actually be favorable. oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/o… #scicomm #envcomm

1. Following up on last week's @WSJ op-ed, Prof. Steve Calabresi has now posted to @SSRN a nine-page "Opinion on the Constitutionality of Robert Mueller's Appointment":

papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

His bottom line: It's unconstitutional.

This #thread explains why he's just wrong:
2. The key to understanding Calabresi's argument is to understand that it is actually two _different_ arguments that need to be addressed separately:

(i) that Mueller's _appointment_ violates the Appointments Clause; and
(
ii) that Mueller's _actions_ violate the Clause.
3. The first of these arguments is a claim that, based on the terms of the office, the Special Counsel is a "principal" officer under the Appointments Clause, and must therefore be nominated by the President, confirmed by the Senate, and removable at will by the President.

Good questions @RedsforNamesake. If confronting #climate change is your priority, it is imperative to ramp up carbon-free energy asap.

1. NJ will now ramp up renewable energy from 13% in 2017 and 20% by 2020 under old RPS to 35% by 2025 & 50% by 2030. Impressive leadership.
2. To ensure that this new clean energy replaces fossil fuels and contributes to #climate mitigation goals, NJ's new laws also make payments to ensure the continued operation of 3 South Jersey nuclear reactors that currently supply 31% of the state's electricity consumption.
2. Cont.: That measure is essential and ensures that nearly all of the new clean energy growth over the next 12 years builds on top of the fossil-free foundation provided by the state's existing nuclear plants.
