The Boot of the State—Mark Chenoweth on Suing Federal Agencies and Ensuring the Separation of Powers
“Congress has to be the one that appropriates any funds from the treasury. That’s the power of the purse that Congress has. And if we lose that, then we’ll lose the country, because it has to be the elected representatives. If the executive is self-funding, then there’s just no ability to rein that in.” At…

Will the Regulators Shut Down Twitter?
