First Circuit Refuses to Stay District Court Injunction Against Trump's Executive Order on Mail-In Voting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently wrote about how Donald Trump's executive order seeking to curb mail-in voting is an attack on federalism and separation of powers. The Constitution gives states primary authority over election administration, subject to potential modification by congressional legislation. Today, in League of Women Voters v. Trump, a unanimous panel of the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit rejected the Trump Administration's motion to stay the trial court injunction blocking implementation of t
Trump Loses Two More Sanctuary City Cases - And Picks up A Rare Win (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, the Trump administration lost two more sanctuary city cases, adding to a long list of similar defeats. They did manage to rack up a rare win in this area, one they secured because of an unusual connection to the Contracts Clause of the Constitution. The losses were well-deserved. The win raises some difficult issues, though I think ultimately the administration deserves to lose here, too, and perhaps appellate judges will see things that way. "Sanctuary" jurisdictions are state and lo
Federal Court Issues First Ruling Against Trump's New Birthright Citizenship Executive Order (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, I wrote about Trump's new executive order seeking to deny birthright citizenship to various classes of children born on US soil, and noted the first legal challenges to it. As I pointed out then, almost every part of the new order is at odds with the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Trump v. Barbara, which struck down Trump's executive order denying birthright citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants born in the United States, and those born to non-citizen parents here on t
Trump Imposes Harmful and Illegal Section 338 Tariffs Against Many Canadian Imports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yesterday, Donald Trump imposed massive 50% tariffs on numerous Canadian imports after trade negotiations with Canada broke down, largely due to the Trump administration's insistence on maintaining earlier 50% tariffs on Canadian aluminum products and other goods. Section 338 was a part of the notorious Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which gravely exacerbated the Great Depression. In a previous post, I summarized the reasons why Section 338 tariffs are an illegal usurpation of congressional au
Voter Ignorance and the Problem of Confusion Caused by Candidates With Similar Names [Updated] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Cornell law Professor Michael Dorf explains in an interesting recent blog post, the currently ongoing Senate election in Alaska includes two candidates with almost identical names, one of whom may well be in the race to siphon off votes from the other: In today's Senate primary election, Alaska voters will have many choices, including two named Dan Sullivan. One is the incumbent Republican. The other is a retired schoolteacher from Petersburg, Alaska with the same name. Republicans claim that
