  1. #SCOTUS’ decision was 6-3.
    Justices #ClarenceThomas, Samuel #Alito & Brett #Kavanaugh dissented.
    Writing for the majority, Chief Justice #JohnRoberts said the #statute does not authorize the president to impose #tariffs.

    “The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration, & scope. In light of the breadth, history, & constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it.”

  2. Whether that is correct is a complicated question in light of another federal #statute, & it has not yet gotten sustained #judicial attention. But Judge Justin Walker, who was appointed to the US Court of Appeals for DC by #Trump, did consider the matter in a 2023 concurring opinion in a case arising from a #protest outside the White House in 2020.

  4. Judge #AmyBermanJackson disagreed, saying in her ruling that the #statute “must stand.” Eliminating the restrictions on Dellinger’s removal, she wrote, “would be fatal to the defining & essential feature of the Office of #SpecialCounsel as it was conceived by #Congress & signed into #law by the President: its #independence.”

  5. #Alito rejected demands that he #recuse himself from #SupremeCourt cases tied to #Jan6 attack. Calls for Justice Alito's recusal from 2 cases have followed reports that flags appearing to support the #StoptheSteal movement had flown outside his 2 homes. #democracy #SCOTUS #corruption #GOP #MAGA #votingrights #constitution and Rep. Raskin on Congress’s #recusal #statute provides objective framework of analysis and remedy for cases of clear and open judicial bias nytimes.com/2024/05/29/opinion

  6. Nick Wilson (R. WIlliamsburg ) filed #HB269 yesterday.
    The purpose of the bill is to add “#sexual contact” to the #incest #statute. Currently, incest only applies in cases of #intercourse. So sexual touching/#groping by #uncles, #stepdads or anyone with a #familial relationship is not included in incest. His bill makes that kind of #sexualcontact a Class D #Felony, unless the victim is under the age of 12, then it increases the penalty to a Class C Felony.
