Jeff Feldman, a professor at the ºìÌÒÊÓƵ, wrote via email: "That language, on its face, would not eliminate the court's ability to enforce contempt charges against the government. It would make it much more difficult, though." He also noted that he had not reviewed the entirety of the legislation (which is more than 1,000 pages long), and there could be language or other provisions within the bill that impact the meaning or provide context for the language of the provision in question.

Feldman, now a law professor at the University of Washington, said 81% of Gleason’s decisions are upheld on appeal, a slightly higher rate than other federal judges who have served in Alaska. Feldman considers Sullivan a friend. He said that while it’s fair to criticize specific judicial decisions, it’s inappropriate to “throw rocks at a judge” by alleging a bias that doesn’t exist. “When a leader makes that kind of allegation, that suggests that a judge's rulings are both wrong and politically motivated, that undermines faith and confidence in the judiciary,” Feldman said.

“It’s undeniable that the order targets a specific community of individuals and is being challenged on that basis,” UW law professor Jeff Feldman said in an email. “The law is still evolving in this area, but the extensive body of anti-discrimination and equal protection law that has been developed over the past 70 years, if applied faithfully to the trans community, almost certainly would result in the president’s executive order being deemed unconstitutional.”

This unfavorable view may stem from the belief that the Supreme Court’s rulings are rooted in the justices’ political biases, Feldman said. “That view may not be entirely wrong,” he said, “but it misses the fact that individuals who are appointed to the court arrive with differing views of legal philosophy, of application of the tools of judicial and constitutional interpretation, and of how history and precedent should be read and applied.”

"It's very doubtful that the president has the power to ban paper straws. Paper straws do not constitute a public health hazard and, even if they did, banning them would require engaging a rule making process under the Administrative Procedures Act, which is lengthy and unlikely to result in a ban."

For example, a large company might overcharge a million people an extra $5 for their purchases. It’s unlikely that anyone would sue the company over $5, but collectively, the business stole $5 million from its customers – more than enough to justify a lawsuit, says Jeff Feldman, professor from practice at the ºìÌÒÊÓƵ.

Many people get notices in the mail and electronically notifying them that they’re eligible to receive some money from a class action lawsuit settlement. Some social media accounts and websites dedicated to tracking open class action lawsuit settlements claim some settlements will pay people without any proof they’re qualified. But is it legal to take part in a no-proof class action settlement if you’re not really entitled to it? Jeff Feldman, professor of law at the UW, is quoted.

“Regardless of how the cases are resolved — guilty, innocent, or hung jury — people are more likely to trust the process and the outcomes if they’ve had access to and seen the evidence, seen the witnesses testify, and heard the arguments,” Feldman said.

Feldman noted the Constitution’s Fifth Amendment protects an individual’s right to remain silent and not disclose information that would be incriminating. But he said he thinks most courts would conclude that exercising the privilege of a driver’s license implies a waiver of that Fifth Amendment protection. “In other words, you don’t get a driver’s license unless you agree to abide by laws in the state, one of which requires that you stop and provide information following an accident,” Feldman said in an email to The Columbian.

It was a classic Nike ad — a celebration of women and sports in conjunction with International Women’s Day that was so inspiring and beautifully shot it could bring tears to your eyes. “One day, we won’t need a day to celebrate how far we’ve come,” a young female narrator states in the voice-over. “We won’t need a day to prove we’re just as strong and fast and skilled.” The 2021 campaign made no mention of the fact that a group of women employees were suing the company, alleging widespread sex discrimination, harassment and an $11,000-per-year gender pay gap. It didn’t say that for three years Nike had been waging a fierce courtroom fight to keep a trove of internal documents under seal and out of the public eye.

That conduct is not consistent with an intent to retain the documents,” said Jeff Feldman, a professor from practice at the ºìÌÒÊÓƵ. “By contrast, President Trump held onto the documents, refused to return them, and alternately claimed that the documents were his, and not the government’s, and that they weren’t classified because he deemed them unclassified when he removed them.

Pierce County Sheriff Ed Troyer soon will be back in court in connection with his 2021 report that a newspaper carrier threatened to kill him and the massive police response that ensued.

The litigation stems from a 1982 deal that outlined how 12 regional Native corporations should share income from exploiting resources like forests, but not what should happen with money earned by preserving them.
