Dear Maximilian,
My name is Luís A. M. Meneses do Vale and I’m an assistant professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra, in Portugal. [https://apps.uc.pt/mypage/faculty/lvale/en]

Your last text finally stole me any remaining excuse to purport some words, Which I find long due.
As a matter of fact, I have been following Verfassungsblog since its early dawn and had already planned to greet you publicly for such a praiseworthy endeavour.
Unfortunately, my teaching assignments, as well as other professional responsibilities within and outside the university (not to mention the work related to my phd on constitutional law, still in progress) are very heavy nowadays and didn´t left me with the needed time and concentration to participate more actively.
Nevertheless, given the fact that I’ve been using the Bohmann case in my classes, I finally decided to thank for this extraordinary platform of ideas, which is particularly important for those, in Europe, who are geographically peripherical, but still try to stay connected.
