The video of today’s press conference is here, and I’ve pasted below Senator Portman’s press release on the legislation. This is an important and thoughtful proposal to modernize the Administrative Procedure Act, and I will have much more to say about it in the coming weeks (once my Senate academic fellowship concludes).

We published a number of blog posts on the Gorsuch Supreme Court confirmation hearing — at least with respect to Judge Gorsuch’s administrative law and separation of powers jurisprudence.

Last week the editors of the University of Pennsylvania Law School’s RegBlog announced that they are changing RegBlog’s name to The Regulatory Review.
