Sasha Volokh
Who the hell is Alexander "Sasha" Volokh?
 * Eugene Volokh's brother and a current Supreme Court clerk - CrazyRussian talk/email 21:53, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, he finished the clerkship. He teaches my Delegation and Privatization course at Georgetown Law now. You should create a page for him.


 * He became more notable by stopping working for the SC  Basket Feudalist 13:35, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

going downmarket?
I heard that this blog has recently headed down market... they're taking any old blogger now... should this be reflected in the article? ;-) Privatemusings (talk) 05:14, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Cute. ;-) My !vote is a definite maybe. Sbowers3 (talk) 02:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Background: Volokh.com published a series of essays about Wikipedia by user:Newyorkbrad, a senior Wikipedian, starting 11 May 2009. BTW, I strongly recommend those essays. CWC 11:33, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

"One of the most widely read legal publications"
Do blogs count as 'publications'? I'm not impugning Eugene Volokh's credentials or those of any of the bloggers, but I don't think it counts as a 'publication'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.66.58 (talk) 09:20, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Good point. We're using "publications" in the generic sense, not the academic sense, and that is confusing. Can anyone think of a better word? CWC 06:04, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Seeing as how Eugene Volokh sucks, I don't see a problem with questioning his credentials. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1:81B8:CAA9:6140:8C41:B731:1876 (talk) 06:32, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

volokh conspiracy role in the creation of the repeal amendment
We're going to have a constitutional amendment on the floor of the Congress that is going to fundamentally change the federalism balance back toward a more powerful set of state rights and this largely was hatched in the Volokh Conspiracy. Should this be on this page or would that be a coatrack? TMLutas (talk) 19:08, 2 December 2010 (UTC)


 * If you could find some sources I say it more than merits inclusion. ZHurlihee (talk) 14:52, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Insinuations of Sexism
The old version of this page for no particular reason emphasized not just that the bloggers are all men, but there was only one women historically. It then of the many possible quotes from the blog in the traditional media, took one out of context from Prof. Volokh that suggested sexism on his part. Obviously, someone who worked on the page previously had an agenda. The version now reflected by my edits is much more neutral. If someone wants to cite to some sort of controversy over the gender makeup of the blog, that would be one thing. But to use a Wikipedia page to try to create such a controversy is quite another. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Encycfan2 (talk • contribs) 04:18, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Italics or not?
Should "The Volokh Conspiracy" be in italics like other media publications or not? Legoktm (talk) 18:35, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
