The deference paradigm shifts:

Fordham Law Professor Chinmayi Sharma (@chinmayisharma.bsky.social) sits down with Lawfare (@lawfaremedia.org) Managing Editor Tyler McBrien (@tylermcbrien.com) to discuss her forthcoming law review article and the U.S. federal government’s privatized and automated system of immigration enforcement.

Totally concur with the "highly recommended." @donibloomfield.bsky.social and @jeffgordon.bsky.social's sophisticated analysis of the the value of export controls is a must-read for anyone in the national security and innovation space.

I'm delighted to be serving on the Program Committee for the ASIL Abroad Meeting on 'International Legal Order at a Crossroads'. Buenos Aires is a great location and a reminder that legal debates should not be confined to their usual centres. Join us! asil.org/asil-abroad/

So excited that Brokering Safety is finally out in the California Law Review! It was such a joy to write this piece with Thomas and Sam, however disturbing the underlying phenomenon we tackle: the abuse enabled by data brokers and the need for a centralized system to empower victims to opt out.

Every issue of @ajil.bsky.social contains essays on the Contemporary Practice of the United States Relating to International Law (CPUS). Below are the essays I authored in the April issue. All are open access. @asilorg.bsky.social

Excited to work with them and the rest of the Board. Congrats!

I appreciate the endorsement, @lsolum.bsky.social

What do changing understandings of coercion + security tell us about relationship between international order and international law? My stab at an explanation, nodding to Robert Cover and following interpretative fights from UN Charter through the NIEO and Washington Consensus to today.

Always one of the highlights of the meeting

Really important paper, reconceptualizing developments in the economic-security space.

Watching this foreseeable chaos and tragedy unfold and I keep thinking about what this administration’s own lawyers revealed about its national security process, in the OLC memo on Venezuela. The not war by not planning theory of war powers:

The irony is that the subway is the ordinary way many New York City kids get to and from school. New York provides school buses through 6th grade and assumes kids will use free OMNY cards afterwards. The subways teem with teens.

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

Most telling thing about this is that the only unifying theme is macho vibes. No sense in asking if they actually want to glorify drug dealing, criminal underworld, insurgents against imperial power, or emotionally-impaired dark-siders. It's irrelevant compared to the glorification of testoterone.

Our primary insight into how the Trump Admin lawyers* war powers comes from the OLC memo they published on the Venezuela strikes and capture of Maduro. My analysis here:

Despite all the focus on the tariffs, I suspect this may eventually be the most cited part of the opinion, and NOT in trade cases.

It's more complicated than you think. Great explainer from Kathleen Claussen.

INTERNATIONAL LAW WEEKEND 2026: [R]evolution in the International Legal Order The American Branch of the International Law Association (ABILA) is pleased to invite proposals for International Law Weekend 2026 (ILW 2026), Oct 22-24, 2026. www.ila-americanbranch.org/internationa...

Roberts, Barrett, & Gorsuch's fixation on including MQD may end up a gift to challengers of other claimed emergency powers. None of this discussion of the dangers of emergency power was necessary to find IEEPA didn't cover tariffs, but it is now certain to appear in briefs & opinions in other areas.

Among the most important signs of how SCOTUS might rein in a President's claim to emergency powers is: Chief Justice Roberts with Justices Gorsuch and Barrett on the 'major questions' doctrine. The three express deep skepticism of claims to open-ended emergency powers: 1/

There are obviously limits to what one decision limited to one statute can do, but the shadow of IEEPA's open-ended discretionary authority has played a massive role in the the coercive foreign policy of the last year - just think of the Greenland arc - and some sand in those gears should be welcome

Just sayin....

Amidst many crises, the #Trump admin may be on the verge of a war of choice against #Iran. It would be: -blatantly illegal (U.S. & int'l law) -hugely costly (human & financial) -has no clear end game Your elected representatives have power to stop it. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Ben's unflinching ability to see connections between different forms of coercive power has made him one of the clearest voices on the challenges we face.

Coining "war in the constitutional sense" was such a deeply pernicious OLC wrong turn.
