Is Administrative Law Either? A Debate

A Feddie Fight Night on the Administrative State featuring Prof. Gary Lawson and Prof. Nicholas Bagley

On Monday evening, the Notre Dame Student Chapter of the Federalist Society hosted a "Feddie Fight Night" debate on the topic: "Is Administrative Law Either? (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Administrative State)," between Professors Gary Lawson of Boston University and Nicholas Bagley the University of Michigan. The online event featured a rollicking and wide-ranging exchange on delegation, expertise, constitutional history, and legal interpretation, among other aspects of administrative law.

Video of the event is available on the Federalist Society's website, as well as on YouTube.

"The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. Discuss."

Did anyone bring up Article I Section 1, giving "all" lawmaking powers to the Congress.

Let the Congress read, then enact the Federal Register each year. Until it does, all regs are void, being unlawful.

The word, all, is a first grade vocabulary word, lawyer dumbasses.

As a prescriptivist, I object to "neither" introducing a list of three things.

[Cal Cetín]

'Taint holy, 'taint Roman, and 'taint an empire, neither.

Is that more grammatically correct?

Margaret Fuller: "I accept the universe."
Thomas Carlyle: "By god, she'd better."

Hey Adler, can you respond to Hasen's article in Slate? I'd like to hear what the federalist society has to say about letting the supporters of dictatorship back in.

Regrettably (or not), I found the Slate Web site too buggy to use, but is this the article you're referring to?

I eagerly await the article about excluding convicted terrorists and their supporters, plus abortionists and their supporters, plus enablers and apologists for the "mostly peaceful" riots, and so fort, from polite (or even from impolite) society.

When Kagan's dinner invitations start drying up, I'll believe these clowns' assertions about wanting to uphold civilized standards.

Getting stomped by your betters in the culture war has made you quite cranky, Cal Cetin.

[Kleppe]

Not sure how to square your belief that conservatives are getting "stomped by [their] betters" with the reality of your "mainstream" being reduced to writing endless dissents, so I am eager to hear more.
