Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases: "Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant"

Really excited to see this thoughtful review of my new book by Jay Cost at Law and Liberty lawliberty.org/book-review/...

Reining in the Courts – Jay Cost

Thomas Bell offers a Madisonian critique of judicial interference in the separation of powers.

Well past impeachment territory, but never too late.

It’s impossible to be a broken record on how disastrous Chadha has been for constitutional politics. Fundamentally flawed. Chapter 2 of my book is dedicated to eviscerating the Court’s decision in Chadha, which is just emblematic of its general approach to SoP. www.amazon.com/Constitution...

Now, and I realize I sound like a goddamn broken record, if Chadha had come out the other way, majorities in both chambers could, in fact, block a lot of this stuff. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Really excited to get this out into the world.

2/ First, when Congress has legislated in response to national problems, the Roberts Court has repeatedly either struck it down or interpreted it into a nullity. Congress gave us the Voting Rights Act and its reauthorizations; the Court gave us Shelby County, Brnovich, etc.

i think the vision of rigid separation of powers and no independent agencies articulated here is unserious and unworkable. these are just slogans untethered from either the history or reality of american governance.

This is a really excellent book -- anyone interested in American politics should give it a serious read.
