arkady2025-05-29Law Politics

It took almost 2 months, but a court has finally ruled that Trump’s Libation Day tariffs are illegal and unconstitutional. And now … the inevitable appeals. So, ya know, don’t start celebrating yet. The illegal part is simple: the law…

Unitary Executive: Proving The Anti-Federalists Were Right

arkady2025-05-28Culture Law Politics

OK, it took over 200 years to get to this point, but with the Supreme Court’s turn to the bogus “Unitary Executive” concept it looks like the Anti-Federalist position is being proved correct. So, yay? Predicting that a strong central…

Generative AI And Government Reform: Two Bad Tastes That Taste Horrible Together

arkady2025-05-27Law Technology

arkady2025-05-15Law

So, apparently Quatar wants to give an all-luxed-up Boing 747 to Trump. Just, ya know, because they’re known for their generosity. Ha. On it’s face, such a gift would be spectacularly illegal. As-in, specifically-forbidden-in-the-Constitution levels of illegal. No Title of…
