Steve Vladeck writes (this is a free link of a paywalled piece, so please do not share) about the controversy over James Percival, a Trump Admin attorney, and the question of criticizing judges.
We did not discuss the question of judicial criticism, although it fits within our discussions of impeachment and judicial activism. This might be fair game for a Panel # 1 reaction paper.
Please note that this first section of the class is more theory- and policy-based than case-based, so your reaction papers will be similarly theory- and policy-based. But the rules of good legal writing--state and explain the legal principles, apply them to a problem--remain the same. These can be "reaction" papers--reacting to and responding to the materials we have read.
