My colleagues and I studied the effect on Obama nominees alone, pre- and post- Nov 2013. We find post-filibuster: faster confirmation times, higher confirmation rates, but not a big shift to appoint more liberal nominees (plotted here). www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

Definitely potential for a post-filibuster effect, but not enough presidencies per party yet to really see (e.g., for Rs, impossible to untangle filibuster end from a pure Trump effect).

It's that time of year again! #GoBlue

The @nyulawreview.bsky.social and @policyintegrity.bsky.social have organized a terrific administrative law symposium today. My @umichlaw.bsky.social colleague @jdmortenson.bsky.social is here to talk about history, and I'm on a panel that is charged with ignoring history. 🤓

My @umichlaw.bsky.social colleague Nick Bagley and I have been debating administrative law remedies for nearly a decade now. Fun to see this spill into the latest #SCOTUS decision. (I'm still right about this stuff, FWIW.) 🤓 www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
