Today is the first time the court is taking the bench since its nearly four-week mid-winter recess. It is a day for bar admissions and possible opinions before the February sitting starts in earnest on Monday. The tariff case is hanging in the air. Solicitor General D. John Sauer, who argued for the president’s policies, is here, with two assistants from his office. Neal Katyal, who argued for the challengers in the companion case of Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, is also in the bar section. Two groups are here for admission to the Supreme Court Bar, one from Washburn University Law School…
Why do legal writers resist or dismiss plain language? I addressed that question in my book Writing for Dollars, Writing to Please: “You can point to an assortment of reasons … but … they come down to … lack of will, lack of skill and lack of time.” I’ve explored each of these three reasons in more detail in the book. This is a test—primarily of writers’ will to change. Why? Because of four prime examples of needless, antiquated formalisms that would take no skill and no time to eradicate. You merely need the will to wipe them out. Before…

Reporting Highlights No Required Reporting: South Carolina doesn’t require hospitals to report when they admit patients with measles-related illnesses. Low Rate: Available data shows that only 2% of the state’s measles cases have resulted in hospitalizations. Some infectious disease experts fear significant underreporting. Lack of Real-Time Data: Some doctors say they lack information about the severity of measles complications as it spreads around them. These highlights were written by the reporters and editors who worked on this story. In mid-January, an unassuming man in khakis and a button-down shirt walked to a wooden lectern at a school board meeting in…
Ship-tracking data also confirmed the USS Mahan, one of the destroyers in the warship’s strike group, passed through the Strait. The Gerald R Ford had briefly broadcast its location off Morocco’s Atlantic coast on Wednesday and is believed to be travelling to the Middle East where another US aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, was tracked earlier this week.

A reminder that this case boils down to the interpretation of a 1977 federal law — the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA.The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to levy tariffs. But Trump had argued that by invoking the IEEPA, he alone has the authority to do so. No president has previously ever used the act to impose tariffs.The IEEPA does give the president broad powers in the case of a “national emergency” and an “unusual and extraordinary threat” — powers that include the ability to “regulate” imports.And Trump had argued that U.S trade deficits with other countries…
The argument next week in Pung v Isabella County asks the court to consider the constitutionality of the longstanding practice of tax foreclosures sales. This is one of those cases that would be tremendously important if it came out one way and will probably sink without a trace if it comes out the other. My guess, unless the justices want to call into question the basic architecture of foreclosure sales in every jurisdiction in the country, is that they’re not going to accept Pung’s challenges to this process. Governments at many levels in the United States impose taxes, often (as…
