The Federalist Society's Executive Branch Review Conference
Michael Ramsey
This outstanding annual event was held last week in Washington DC. Videos are available here. The panels include:
Congressional Regulatory Reform Proposals
Who Wins at Administrative Hopscotch?
Regulatory Theory: Preemptive Rule-making vs. Common Law Redress
Regulatory Barriers to Innovation
Are Patents Under Attack in the Supreme Court?
Disparate Impact: Reducing Innovation in the Workplace?
Plus addresses by Senators Deb Fischer (R-Neb) and Dan Sullivan (R-Ak).
(But, I can't help adding, as a thought for the organizers: maybe a little attention to foreign affairs/national security activities as well next year? The past 12 months were fairly big on executive foreign affairs activities of at least debatable constitutionality: the Iran deal, the Paris climate change agreement, the Trans Pacific Partnership, military action in lots of places without express congressional approval, releases from Guantanamo, overcoming encryption, a range of surveillance activities, etc.).
