Writing on law, policy, and politics by Charles K. Henry.

Starting Here

I’ve wanted a place to write at length for a while.

The short-form platforms are good at heat and bad at light. A serious argument about a statute, a policy, or a constitutional question needs room to lay out the facts, walk through the reasoning, and deal honestly with the strongest version of the other side. That doesn’t fit in a post designed to be skimmed between two other posts.

So this is that place. Expect essays on law, policy, and politics — long ones, sometimes with footnotes, and occasionally revised when I get something wrong.

Comments are open at the bottom of every post. I read them.
