This isn't what SCOTUS *said* (they said nothing) BUT the Court's "passivity"-deciding not to decide or say anything - helps the executive branch aggressively characterize & implement the Court's orders.
My draft paper "Passive Vices" goes into this (Law Review editors- it's looking for a home!)

You posted an incomplete draft on SSRN? During ongoing litigation? With promises of more, eventually? Ignoring it. Nope.

SSRN is one of the largest open-access repositories of scholarly articles, mostly social sciences and law. It's owned by Elsevier, an evil company which is in turn owned by a hedge fund.
17 papers on SSRN contain the phrase "as of my last knowledge update" indicating they're regurgitated AI.

Someone asked how the growth in working papers on SSRN compared to other websites.
SSRN vs. NBER vs. ArXiv papers per month -- interesting to see the lack of "ChatGPT" response in NBER relative to Arxiv -- SSRN looks more mixed but clearly trending way up.

Important point given the SSRN news.
SocArXiv accepts law papers, as we always have. Some of the bells and whistles he wants we don't have- like ranking and email subscriptions, but those can be built using SocArXiv. We don't have funds or staff to help build that, but law schools do.

just saw a cato institute guy repost a SSRN preprint on minimum wages increasing the cost of fastfood and i feel like this is the 2025 equivalent of a imperial japanese soldier being found hiding in guam 30 years after surrender

not sure if everyone can access this, but I just learned about some dramatic changes to SSRN from Steve Bainbridge's Substack. This is really bad; SSRN has been how I keep up with scholarship in my field from a variety of researchers

This is social media, not SSRN. Strangers don’t owe you cites. If i make an easily google-able claim of fact, feel free to google it and judge my credibility as you will.
