Clear Statements is a recurring series by Abbe R. Gluck on civil litigation and the modern regulatory and statutory state. The Supreme Court’s decision striking down the president’s tariffs last week is generating a lot of chatter in wonky circles about the inside-baseball debate among the justices about the “major questions” rule. All seven of the opinions in the case mention the rule – the judicial presumption that Congress doesn’t delegate big questions to the executive branch without being clear – and each takes a different position.

Last summer, I traveled to McLoud, Oklahoma, home to the state’s largest women’s prison. McLoud — a town of fewer than 5,000 residents — lies 30 miles east of Oklahoma City on a wide expanse of prairie. At the edge of town, off a rutted road, stands Mabel Bassett Correctional Center, a sprawl of concrete and razor wire.  I went there to meet April Wilkens, who has spent more than a quarter century at Mabel Bassett for the 1998 shooting death of her ex-fiancé, Terry Carlton.
