Good morning from Washington, where Congress is supposed to review new government regulations before they go into effect. Agencies' failure to submit those rules jams up everyone, Kevin Mooney reports. Senate Democrats’ delay tactics, meanwhile, hamper the court system, Thomas Jipping argues. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas again comes to the rescue of the Constitution, Elizabeth Slattery and John-Michael Seibler write. Plus: Steve Moore on the triumph of Trumponomics, Amy Swearer on a #MeToo claim about the high court, and Elyssa Koren on the U.N.'s flawed human rights operation.
The number of judicial vacancies across the federal bench has averaged 142 so far this year.
No one thought that Trump could ramp up the growth rate to 3 percent or that his policies would boost federal revenues. But he is doing just that.
Instead of allowing "unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats" to call the shots on federal rulemaking, Congress should have the final say in determining the merits of regulations that affect average Americans.
Justice Thomas is a "fearless originalist" who's not afraid to clear out past cases that stand in the way of the original meaning of the Constitution.
This complete mischaracterization of a Supreme Court holding and its effect on women, as well as the blame shifting away from Congress as the source of any problem that may exist because of the Federal Arbitration Act, does more to damage the #MeToo movement than the judicial restraint exhibited by the justices of the majority.
The rights of the unborn all around the world are at stake.
