Constitutional law expert and Supreme Court follower Stephen Vladeck tells me that interim orders can leave an indelible impression even if eventually vacated.

Razor Wire: Supreme Court Ruling with No Explanation?In this short but revealing clip, Professor Stephen Vladeck explains how a high-stakes Supreme Court decision allowed the Biden administration to remove razor wire at the Texas border—without offering any explanation for the ruling.

Y'all-iticsThe Case Before the U.S. Supreme Court That Could Lead to Election Chaos Yallitics: December 18, 2022It sounds complicated, confusing, and esoteric. But if the U.S. Supreme Court legitimizes the independent state legislature theory (ISLT), many experts say it would upend hundreds of years of constitutional law and dramatically restructure the relationship between state legislatures and state Supreme Courts. The Justices have already heard oral arguments in Moore v. Harper. Now we await a ruling, expected in June 2023. But we’re impatient here at Y’all-itics. So, the Jasons called up our resident constitutional law expert, Professor Stephen Vladeck from the University of Texas School of Law to learn what could happen. Vladeck says it’s...

Y'all-iticsHow the Supreme Court could Strike Down Texas Law and Still Limit AbortionNovember 1 could mark a historic moment at the U.S. Supreme Court. That’s when Texas goes to D.C. to defend its new abortion law and the ruling could change 50-years of legal precedent. The Justices even took the rare step of fast-tracking two cases brought against the state’s near-total ban. Abortion providers filed one. The U.S. Department of Justice filed the other. So, in this episode of Y’all-itics, the Jasons call up Stephen Vladeck, a constitutional law expert at the University of Texas, to cut through the legalese. Turns out, Vladeck explained, Justices could strike down...
