If you're not familiar with this guy, he was always a weird fit: unprestigious academic background, teaches in like corpus christi or some shit, no one thinks he's a brilliant or particularly ideologically principled guy (like say volokh), but is young and hacky as shit and co-authors with like randy barnett and similar. Type of dude who will fly out to ole miss LS and give the same conlaw seminar 4x from a 10 a.m. breakfast session with donors to a 6:30 p.m. dinner hobnob with the local bar, then fly out.

Dude was always weird, but he also kinda looked like an aged-out chad (see https://media.bizj.us/view/img/2562091/josh-blackman-attorney*1024xx2873-1620-0-326.jpg and https://heinonline.org/HeinDocs/author_images/Blackman.jpg ; you can just imagine this dude playing college baseball for texas tech or some shit, spittin' dip into a gatorade bottle and bitchin' about muslims before stepping out into the on-deck circle).

I ran into him the other week and he looks like he's transitioning into howard stern or some shit: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_rxJkQWUAQxpoa.jpg and https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/styles/optimized/public/brightcove/videos/images/posters/image_27457.jpg?itok=-RDwbh43 . I literally almost made a joke about it, and then I thought "oh shit, he's probably not joking at all; why would he be?"

He basically force-memed his way into "relevance." Remember Fantasy SCOTUS?

Yeah lol. The guy falls into the unbecoming middle ground between someone like a Tom Goldstein -- the American U. grad who founded SCOTUSblog because he loved reading scotus cases, and got important organically due to the quality work product produced by his labor of love -- and an actual real PUGhighest-HLSmagna professor who's devout catholic or aspie/immigrant libertarian (depending on the precise conservative lawprof shtick being adopted).

I mean good for him for hustling, but he's one of the presenters I've heard from a handful of times who I'm least convinced will say something unique, interesting, or incisive when I sit down to hear him talk. Also that hair must be disgusting in south texas heat and humidity.
