Speaking (writing) of U.S. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson, here is a congratulatory letter that he received when he was appointed to that office in 1940. The letter came from Jackson's lawsuit and politics rival and friend Wendell Willkie. Willkie

I teach Clinton v. New York (1998), in which the Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional the Line Item Veto Act of 1996. I agree with this teacher: this student's answer was outstanding.

Well, Matt Whitaker, formerActing U.S. Attorney General, is now U.S. Ambassador to NATO. He is new to foreign and military policy. Hope that the job, colleagues, allies, & history help him do right.

Very important Jack Goldsmith essay: Pres. Trump has nominated Ed Martin Ed Martin, the Acting U.S. Attorney in D.C., to that position. The Senate should reject this nomination for many reasons, including those that U.S. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson stated in 1940.

Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hours should probably disclose that now. I’ve been hearing some interesting chatter on the floor. Disclosure deadline is May 15th. We’re about to learn a few things. It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Here's a new #JacksonList post on Justices Robert H. Jackson and William J. Brennan, Jr., together eighty years ago in the U.S. Supreme Court. They were not judicial colleagues. They were colleagues in World War II service. #SCOTUS #WWII #Nuremberg thejacksonlist.com/2025/04/11/law…

Insane. The Naval Academy cancelled a speech by Ryan Holiday about the Stoic virtues because he said he was going to talk about the importance of reading books with uncomfortable ideas. They worried it might flout Trump’s anti-D.E.I. EO. nytimes.com/2025/04/19/opi…
