Finally, respondents Gwynne Wilcox and Cathy Harris contend that arguments in this case necessarily implicate the constitutionality of for-cause removal protections for members of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors or other members of the Federal Open Market Committee. See Response of Wilcox in Opposition to App. for Stay 2−3, 27−28; Response of Harris in Opposition to App. for Stay 3, 5−6, 16−17, 36, 40. We disagree. The Federal Reserve is a uniquely structured, quasi-private entity that follows in the distinct historical tradition of the First and Second Banks of the United States. See Seila Law, 591 U. S., at 222, n. 8.

If anything, Hamilton is the herald of the last bastion of independence these days.

AI reaches the Supreme Court

to clarify the issue:

Justice Thomas cites Case of Proclamations as a foundational text for nondelegation doctrine

The Case of Proclamations actually dealt with the English equivalent of an Article II inherent power claim

The Question of Implied Powers, Part V: McCulloch v. Maryland, the First Question Musings on Constitutional Philosophy

Good evening, y'all!

Tonight on Constitutional Perspectives, it's the grand climax of the module on implied powers. That's right, it's my detailed analysis of the first question in McCulloch v. Maryland!!!

eveningconstitutional.net/the-question...

totally

the issue for modern scholars—almost a century of them at this point--is that they read what *Hamilton's* peers meant by a monarchist as standing for what would count as monarchical *today*

ps lol i did appreciate that

i'm 10000% serious when i say i can't wait to see the emergence of the argument. I just don't know how far into the exec branch papers i'll have to wait? @andrewkent.bsky.social has a draft charting the emergence of the argument from executive branch lawyers in the 19c but i don't believe yet posted

he had a whole ear thing, dont judge

Me and Julian in the archives this month:

there was a point in the late 20teens when I went from super curious about what 1780s evidence for the "vesting clause thesis" / Royal Residuum would look like, to realizing that day would never come

hoping to see glimmerings in the 1790s! at some point the white whale will surface and blow, yes?

finally in deep archival mode again after far far too long away

and lord, the more I read by Hamilton the executive officer with Washington's ear, the more bizarre it seems that he's been transmogrified into a prophet of the royal residuum.

Actually, I’ll be more direct: I don’t think it’s just interesting, I think it’s an inaccurate analysis.

It’s interesting that Talarico’s religious appeals are framed primarily as a reach across the aisle here.

In his particular case, I think that’s *part* of the effort come the general. But his slogan was “let’s flip some tables” — a theological argument aimed at the Democratic base, not Republicans.

“I said where’d he go?

“Goose said where’d *who* go??

“And he was laughin at us over the radio”

this cannot be true….. can it

how I arrived on Bluesky

lol dangit I’m trying to save the paragraphs here : )

i read him that way too! But that reading makes a total bash of the case of proclamations.

I’ve ask for help resuscitating the patient fitzy not burying it!

thank you!

Thomas’s dissent in Learning Solutions cites Case of Proclamations (1611) as evidence a nondelegation principle in English law.

UK law and English legal history peeps — I’m trying to muster a reading of these paragraphs that rescues them from elementary error. Can anyone help me see one?

Breyer wins the Souter Award for most touching remembrance of a late colleague:

SCOTUS better up its game for its remembrances because Souter was the GOAT for his colleagues

Good advice! And it goes for institutions as well as people.
