Legal scholars are worried that Supreme Court decisions are increasingly kneecapping Congress and may enable “aggressive efforts” by the current president and his successors.
In a New York Times opinion piece titled “Looks Like the Supreme Court Will Continue to Overturn the 20th Century,” three law professors discussed Trump v. Slaughter, a case that could dismantle the landmark 1935 ruling Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, and allow the president to “consolidate power in the executive branch.”
“The question is not whether the court will overturn Humphrey’s Executor, but how, and how broadly,” said Will Baude, a law professor at the University of Chicago, speaking with Stephen Vladeck, a law professor at Georgetown, and Kate Shaw, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School.
