The Daily Signal - Can the Court Control the Administrative State?

John Yoo discusses the prospects for the Supreme Court to enact tremendous reform of how the administrative state engages in law-making. Spurred by a 2019 dissenting opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch in U.S. v. Gundy that called for a revival of the so-called "nondelegation doctrine", Yoo describes how the Court would curtail Congress from transferring lawmaking power to federal agencies.


Yoo notes, "the question the Roberts court has to face is, do we think that the courts, by trying to constrain how far Congress can go, can actually force Congress to become more accountable and take responsibility for these tough policy choices, even when Congress doesn't want to do it? I think that's a very, very hard question. You could see the court making these decisions in the way that place limits on what Congress can do, place limits on what the administrative state can do."

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Why the Coming January 6th Hearings are So Important

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Ambassador Norm Eisen to discuss The Big Picture: democracy, the Rule of Law and the new volume he has co-written and edited, Overcoming Trumpery: How to Restore Ethics, the Rule of Law, and Democracy. Norm and Dahlia look back to January 6th 2021, and ahead to the coming hearings and the midterms. 

In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, Dahlia is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to talk about Ted Cruz’s victory at the Supreme Court, and what it means for what’s left of campaign finance law, the stunning decision out of the 5th circuit that questions the constitutionality of, well, pretty much the whole of the civil service… And Oklahoma’s new abortion ban law that picks up Texas’ vigilante reproductive regulation and runs with it.

Sign up for Slate Plus now to listen and support our show. 

We'll be back with another episode of Amicus on June 4th, when we’ll start coming to you weekly as the Supreme Court’s term hurtles to its conclusion and we are deluged with consequential decisions. Hoping you can join us to try to navigate the last few weeks of the term, and its fallout.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Are just 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions and how stressed are South Africans?

In the fight against global warming we?re constantly told to do our bit to reduce green house gas emissions.

We look into this and the claim that the pandemic pushed South African stress levels up by 56%. With guests Abbas Panjwani from Fullfact and Kirsten Cosser from Africa Check.
