Humphreys Executor dead
Is the Slaughter ruling on the level of significance of
Chevron? I’m a humble transactional lawyer, but it seems like a pretty big deal. From the dissent:
“Today, this Court undoes centuries of political practice and concludes that all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time. Its conclusion is wrong,” Sotomayor wrote in her dissent, adding, “the Court gives the President a power unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted, elevating him above his once coequal branches by transforming a duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed into a license to act in defiance of those very laws.”
