As we continue to wade into the Supreme Court term, developments are taking place in several cases we are following. Professor Amar’s students are making constitutional news all over the place, it seems; several of them have converged on the tariff case once again, as well as now the unitary executive issues. A new article made a splash, and it prompts us to harken back to an old one - a 1996 article by Professor Amar, in fact, which has new and possibly crucial relevance. We begin to address some of these matters as this broad landscape takes us on legal travels that we can only begin to traverse. CLE is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

Newshour - Hamas returns bodies of two more hostages
The Israeli military says that the Red Cross has received the bodies of two more Israeli hostages in Gaza. But many others remain and Israel is threatening to restrict the flow of aid into Gaza unless they are returned.
Also on the programme: almost all the Pentagon press corps has said no to new reporting restrictions; and the big stars of Sumo are set to wrestle at a tournament in London.

Consider This from NPR - The fighting in Gaza has stopped. But dire conditions persist.
“A New and Beautiful day is rising.” That’s what President Trump told a gathering of world leaders this week.
He was speaking of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas…meant to pave the way to a permanent end to the war that has left much of the Gaza strip in rubble. Now, Trump said, the rebuilding begins.
There are huge questions about what comes after the ceasefire. Who will govern Gaza? Will Hamas disarm? When will Israeli troops fully withdraw? And before any of that, there’s a more urgent challenge — getting food and medicine to the people in Gaza.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Letitia James Is a Victim of Her Own Actions—Not a Trump ‘Revenge Tour’
President Donald Trump is forcing the Democrats to face something they’re not used to: accountability.
We’re seeing this play out with his indictment of Letitia James, the attorney general for the state of New York, who made being a Trump adversary a core part of her political brand. Now, she faces charges related to her Maryland property declarations, including discrepancies on federal forms and taxes. On today’s episode of "Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words,” Hanson contrasts this case with previous legal actions taken against Trump, highlighting the double standard that Democrats have gotten used to when it comes to evading justice—until now.
“We saw, with Alvin Bragg and Letitia James and Fani Willis and Jack Smith, a miscarriage of justice. We all knew that those charges that these four prosecutors filed, A, would've never been filed had Donald Trump said he was not going to run again. B, they will never be filed against any other politician, no doubt. And C, if Donald Trump just said that he was going to run, but he decided he was a RINO or he was left-wing and he agreed with Letitia James' political views, he probably would've got off. He would never have been indicted. And you can diddle the same attitude from Judge Engoron. So, do you just let that all slide or do you look at what Letitia James has allegedly done? It's just simply a question.”

1A - Why is the Trump administration blowing up Venezuelan boats?
Last month, the Trump administration started blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela, calling it part of an “armed conflict” with drug cartels. The White House’s so-called “war on cartels” is increasingly centered on Venezuela, not Mexico or Haiti, where most of these organizations actually operate.
The president is linking these cartels to the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The South American strong man has indicated he’s ready to declare a state of emergency in his country if things progress much further.
So, are these actions about drugs, or are they really about regime change?
