Austin TX

A proxy ballot is a microphone. A portfolio decision is a checkbook. In our latest @BLaw piece, @ShaneGoodwin and I show that investors who voted against reincorporating to Texas or Nevada were about as likely to keep or increase their positions as those who voted for it.

Judges evaluating contested scientific and legal questions should know who developed the materials they are being asked to consider and what interests those contributors represent. Research director @mctoth's new paper lays out the case for why. Read the full text here: civitasinstitute.pulse.ly/oy…

A nice follow-up to my recent @WSJ op-ed on @BlackRock choosing Texas. @SenatorHagerty wrote a terrific letter connecting what’s happening in Texas and Tennessee to a bigger idea: states should be able to compete over corporate governance.

@SenatorHagerty and @SECPaulSAtkins the SEC have been working on this from different fronts for some time. Credit to both for this long overdue reform. Sen. Hagerty’s letter & SEC announcement are linked below.

As @mctoth explained at a recent @fedsoc panel, the Supreme Court’s decision in Suncor v. Boulder will set the tone for how we think about climate litigation and judicial independence.

ICYMI: @mctoth reveals what is at stake in Suncor v. Boulder this term. 👇
Must Watch: @mctoth reveals how the Left's dangerous efforts to pack the Supreme Court for political advantage mirror its attempts to push its radical climate agenda through lower courts. “At the federal level, we’re seeing efforts, proposals to pack the U.S. Supreme Court to sort of get the outcomes that we want out of the federal courts. What we’re mainly talking about today is sort of an action plan at the state level, focus on state judges for proponents to get the outcomes that they want in state courts.”
