An attack on the independence of the federal judiciary.
My thoughts on this as a policy issue
My thoughts on this opinion.
The Supreme Court held today that the Seventh Amendment right to a civil jury trial in fraud cases was violated when an administrative law judge of the S.E.C. decided the case.
Justice Barrett's majority opinion reaches the right outcome; Justice Alito's dissent publicizes the atrocious mistreatment of Facebook by the Biden Administration during Covid.
The Biden Solicitor General's office and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson think that cases under the Taxation Clause or the 16th amendment are political questions.

The House of Representatives should pass a bill allowing former President Trump to remove both his New York criminal and civil cases to federal court.
The left has abolished the secret ballot and legalized fraud-friendly mail in voting. now they want to destroy our independent judiciary
The importance of the secret ballot and of same day voting
Mail in voting over a period of weeks with drop boxes eliminates the secret ballot, and the need for everyone to vote on the same day, with the same headlines in mind, and not over the period of a month.
New York state courts must rule quickly and separately, if they can under New York law, on the constitutionality under the First Amendment of President Trump's recent criminal convictions.
The first amendment protects the alleged payment of hush money to a porn star to influence an election outcome as the u.s. supreme court will eventually rule
the lying liberal jurors and new york state democrats will twist his words to convict him for lying under oath just like they did with Michael Flynn
She is scheduled on June 21st to hear oral argument on whether special counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed
Orin Kerr's reading of NY criminal law is overly broad and would chill constitutionally protected speech
The 34 misdemeanor charges of falsifying business record to conceal some other crime clearly contemplate a violation of federal or state elections laws and that "other crime" is not a crime because of the First Amendment
The liberal news media buys in to the NY state district attorney's unconstitutional prosecution of Donald Trump
Holding that Jack Smith lacks defendant's standing lets the Supreme Court avoid the fraught question of presidential immunity for criminal actions
Defendant standing must exist at all stages of any litigation and must be raised by the justices of the Supreme Court even if the litigants themselves fail to raise it
Donald Trump should get the same pass for lying about sex that former president Bill Clinton got and that former 2004 Democratic Party Vice Presidential nominee John Edwards got
Both President Biden and former Presidents Obama and Trump are partly to blame
Brent Hatch, the Senator's oldest son is running for the job and would be superb.
A partial response to my friend and co-blogger Orin Kerr.
A Stalinist nightmare in New York State
Trump is the victim of political witch hunts by Democrats suffering from Trump derangement syndrome
Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Incompatibility Clause both apply to "officers under the United States" and must thus mean the same thing
Professor Amar's argument renders the presidential succession acts of 1792 and 1947 unconstitutional by barring putting the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Temper of the Senate in the line of succession to the presidency
George H.W. Bush ended his 1980 presidential primary campaign on May 26, 1980

Nikki Haley is libertarianism's best bet.
The best and most incorruptible Supreme Court Justice in U.S. History
Donald Trump is obviously not disqualified from seeking re-election under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Abraham Lincoln pledged in his First Inaugural Address to keep the union together but to allow slavery in the States that had it already
116 people have served on the Supreme Court and Justices Thomas is the best
The Justices must sua sponte address Jack Smith's lack of standing.
Everything he has done since Nov. 2022 is null and void.
