Last thought today: Here are 3 essays that aimed to describe how Obama admin moved domestic & international law re (inter alia) war/counterterrorism strikes in other countries. Together they contain sketches of the law’s arc & final resting place in the pre-Trump Bush/Obama era.
The first: “The Contributions of the Obama Administration to the Practice and Theory of International Law.” harvardilj.org/wp-content/upl…
The second, with @mattwaxman1: “The Legal Legacy of Light-Footprint Warfare.” lawfare.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/staging/2016/T…
@mattwaxman1 The third, with @curtisabradley: “Obama’s AUMF Legacy.” jackgoldsmith.org/wp-content/upl…

1/ I have recently learned some things that convince me more than ever that the so-called “federal clerkship hiring plan” is broken, or worse.  Earlier threads here, , and here,
2/ A few years ago an ad hoc committee of federal judges sought to reform the clerkship market. Judges on the plan pledged not to hire (or even contact) law students until summer after 2L year. Some law schools sought to limit faculty recommendations during the 2-year period.
3/ The ostensible goal was to stop judges from hiring earlier and earlier, and to create a more orderly process based on more info about student performance. But the plan never really worked. (I limit myself to discussing federal court of appeals judges.)

Not for the first time, I don't understand this WH threat. WH has no legal leverage except to review manuscript for classified information w/in 30-biz-day window, which ends in a few weeks. It cannot get prior restraint. And it is only building up significance of Bolton book.
Spoke too soon! Just saw letter @jaketapper referred to. cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2020/image… I wouldnt call this a "threat." It says manuscript contains “significant amount” of classified info, correctly says Bolton cannot publish classified info, and pledges to work w/ him to identify it.
@jaketapper Questions to consider:
1) How aggressively will USG be in identifying classified info. It has tons of discretion that it could leverage to keep out unwanted stuff.
2)Will Bolton comply with requested cuts before publishing, or assume the risk, publish, and litigate later?

#Inter 2018/19 accounts cover a season when they finished 4th in Serie A and 3rd in their Champions League group, thus dropping to the Europe League before going out in the quarter-finals. In May 2019, Antonio Conte replaced Luciano Spalletti as head coach. Some thoughts follow.
This was the third year under the management of Chinese shareholders, Suning Holdings Group, after they acquired a 69% majority stake in #Inter in June 2016 from Erick Thohir’s Indonesian consortium, ISC. In January 2019, Lion Rock Capital bought a 31% minority share from ISC.
#Inter loss before tax widened from €10m to €40m, despite revenue rising €80m (28%) from €290m to €370m, as expenses increased by over €100m, including €26m provision for Spalletti exit, and profit on player sales fell €10m to €39m. Post-tax loss up from €18m to €48m.
