Quasi-public entities need congressional authorization to use private funds. [definitional]
Tushnet misunderstands this profoundly and seems to think that my point was that it is unconstitutional for quasi-private entities to use public funds, when in fact my point was that it is unconstitutional for quasi-public entities to use private funds without congressional authorization.
DEFINE: Distinguishes between quasi-private entities (which may use public funds) and quasi-public entities (which require congressional authorization for private funds).
