Bloomberg Quotes Prof. Hickman On Justice Thomas Dissent Questioning Brand X Precedent

Prof. Kristin E. Hickman was quoted in Feb. 25 Bloomberg Law article, Thomas Dissent Latest Sign in Battle Over Agency Rulemaking Power, regarding Justice Clarence Thomas's dissent from the denial of certiorari in Baldwin v. United States, No. 19-402, in which he called for the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision in National Cable & Telecomm. Ass'n v. Brand X Internet Services, 545 U.S. 967 (2005).  The article described and quoted Prof. Hickman as observing an emerging pattern of skepticism among the Justices regarding executive rulemaking, including "some rethinking of longstanding doctrine in the face of contemporary administrative practices."
