More personal news: My two most recent law review articles will be appearing this fall in the Administrative Law Review and the Federal Communications Law Journal. The first examines the conflict between the Chevron and the Salerno doctrines when a regulation is challenged as inconsistent with a statute; I argue that if Salerno is properly reconceptualized, it becomes the equivalent of Chevron Step One. The second discusses the irrationality of applying two contradictory pricing systems to local phone companies -- wholesale UNE pricing at TELRIC (which is directly tied to cost), and retail rate pricing (which is often inversely related to cost).

Yes, those are the scintillating topics that capture my attention when I'm not working or blogging.
