I was invited to speak at the 10th Anniversary of the Carl Levin Center for Legislative Oversight and Democracy (@Levin_Center) at Wayne State University Law School (@_WayneLaw). I dedicated this speech to Carl Levin, who showed us what it meant to serve with integrity.

Carl Levin would never complain. He would act. He would investigate. He would take on both parties, and he would find common ground.

On the 1-yr anniversary of SCOTUS overturning the Chevron doctrine, Congress has not only failed to step up, but is now slashing sources of nonpartisan expertise. The First Branch is sadly validating critics & failing the Loper Bright test.
