Yesterday we filed this cert. petition in Medeiros v. Sullivan, which presents the question whether individuals are categorically prohibited from raising Tenth Amendment challenges to a federal government’s commandeering of a state government. Our co-counsel in the case are Robert Caron of Providence, RI and Pamela Karlan. The case is one of the four that we did with our students in our winter term class at Harvard Law School; Harvard 3Ls John Bash, Jesse Panuccio, and Ben Shultz all worked extensively on the case.
