I DIDN’T GET A CHANCE to write much about Eldred v. Ashcroft. Here’s a firsthand account of the oral argument from Erik Jaffe at the ever-expanding Volokh Conspiracy. (Soon to be renamed “A Volokh Conspiracy So Vast. . .”).

I was sorry to hear that he felt the notion of internal limits on the patent and copyright power got little play. Obviously the Supremes didn’t find the article that I coauthored with Berkeley law professor and intellectual property god Rob Merges, arguing that the Court should police Congressional intellectual property power just as it does the commerce power, dispositive. Dang.
