Rebecca Slaughter Doesn\u2019t Want Your Sympathy<\/h3>

Cristian Farias, Vanity Fair<\/p>

On June 29 in Trump v. Slaughter<\/em>, the Supreme Court ruled against Rebecca Slaughter in her challenge to President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to remove her from the Federal Trade Commission, holding that the president has broad authority to remove the heads of independent agencies that wield executive power. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Slaughter discussed how it felt to be the face of a Supreme Court case \u2013 describing it as \u201cnot fun\u201d \u2013 and her reaction to the court\u2019s ruling, contending that Chief Justice John Roberts \u201crelished the opportunity\u201d to overturn the \u201cprecedent protecting independent agencies.\u201d \u201c[T]here was nothing we could have done,\u201d Slaughter said. \u201cAnd in a way, that was sort of a relief, because I didn\u2019t have to second-guess some of the strategic decisions that we made along the way.\u201d She added that, when it comes to determining her next job, she is still \u201cfiguring that out.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

In Fairbanks, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson says work ethic and determination propelled her to nation\u2019s highest court<\/h3>

Iris Samuels, Anchorage Daily News<\/p>

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared at the University of Alaska Fairbanks on Tuesday to discuss her memoir, Lovely One<\/em>, and answer questions about her work on the Supreme Court. She \u201cexplored themes from her memoir, including growing up in Miami, her experience on her public high school\u2019s speech and debate team, meeting her husband at Harvard University, and the challenges of balancing the demands of her career and parenthood,\u201d according to the Anchorage Daily News. She also repeated her past criticism of the court\u2019s emergency docket, arguing that the lack of \u201ca full opinion\u201d in most emergency docket cases \u201cis problematic for the public.\u201d About 50 minutes into the event, organizers \u201cabruptly ended it, saying that Jackson was called away urgently but providing no further explanation.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Trump hits Brazil with new tariffs in sign of what\u2019s ahead<\/h3>

David J. Lynch, The Washington Post<\/p>

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump revealed \u201ca 25 percent tariff on goods from Brazil … the latest step in rebuilding U.S. trade barriers following the Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that invalidated his first try at erecting a shield around the economy,\u201d according to The Washington Post. \u201cThe president\u2019s trade chief, Jamieson Greer, recommended the move after a year-long investigation concluded Brazil had engaged in several \u2018unfair\u2019 trade practices,\u201d saying that \u201cBrazil\u2019s digital trade and electronic payment systems, preferential tariffs, ethanol market, intellectual property protection and illegal deforestation all had hurt U.S. companies.\u201d \u201cThe administration announced the tariff after 11 p.m. Wednesday. More tariffs are expected later this month, as the president employs Section 301 of a 1974 trade law to target dozens of U.S. trading partners.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Could a 50-Year-Old Case Thwart Trump\u2019s Attacks on the News Media?<\/h3>

Adam Liptak, The New York Times <\/svg><\/span><\/p>

In his newsletter for The New York Times, Adam Liptak explored Branzburg v. Hayes<\/em>, a 1972 case in which the Supreme Court held, by a vote of 5-4, \u201cthat the journalists in that case could not protect their confidential sources and had to tell grand juries what they had learned while reporting on the manufacturing of illegal drugs and on the activities of the Black Panthers.\u201d The decision is back in the spotlight as the Trump administration pursues \u201caggressive efforts to compel journalists to reveal their sources.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Ava DuVernay announces \u201814th\u2019 documentary on birthright amendment contested by Trump<\/h3>

Jake Coyle, Associated Press<\/p>

First, the Supreme Court. Now, Hollywood. After a term in which the justices wrestled with multiple aspects of the 14th Amendment, the amendment is getting the documentary treatment from a prominent director. \u201cAva DuVernay announced Thursday that she has made a documentary for Netflix on the 14th Amendment, which gave liberty and rights to formerly enslaved people following the Civil War,\u201d according to the Associated Press. The court cited the 14th Amendment in striking down President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order on birthright citizenship, and the president has since \u201cvowed to continue to contest the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling.\u201d \u201cDuVernay said her film will detail how the 14th Amendment became \u2018a permanent argument.\u2019 It will feature politicians, historians and cultural voices.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The public\u2019s view of the Supreme Court<\/h3>

By Charles Franklin<\/p>

In an analysis for SCOTUSblog, Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School Poll, explored \u201cthe public\u2019s opinion of\u201d several significant cases. \u201cBased on our polling, which was conducted in April and May, the public concurred in part and dissented in part with the outcomes of the Supreme Court\u2019s major decisions this term,\u201d Franklin wrote.<\/p><\/div>

The administrative agency cases were not the court\u2019s only significant separation of powers decisions this term<\/h3>

By Kevin Trowel<\/p>

In a column for SCOTUSblog, Kevin Trowel revisited two cases in which the court addressed separation of powers issues that were not nearly as high-profile as cases on the president\u2019s authority to remove federal officials. \u201cAlthough Rutherford and Fernandez may have garnered\u201d less attention, \u201cthey place substantial \u2013 and welcome \u2013 limitations on federal courts\u2019 authority to undermine congressional judgments in the area of criminal law,\u201d Trowel wrote.<\/p><\/div>

Dissenting from the Dissents<\/h3>

Why was the vote in Trump v. Barbara as close as it was? Many were bewildered by it, given the strength of the arguments in Chief Justice John Roberts\u2019 majority opinion, the long history of birthright citizenship, the statutory history, and the clear text of the 14th Amendment. Akhil Amar and Andy Lipka try to understand this by digging into the dissents.<\/p>

A Closer Look<\/div>

Justice John Blair, Jr.<\/h3><\/div>

Justice John Blair, Jr. may be the least remembered of the Supreme Court\u2019s inaugural bench. This is not to say, however, that he was a man without some remarkable accomplishments: Blair signed the Constitution, helped secure its ratification in his home state of Virginia, and spent six years on the first Supreme Court helping establish what the founding document meant in practice.<\/p>

Blair was born in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1732 into \u201cone of Virginia\u2019s most prominent families\u201d; his father served as Virginia\u2019s acting governor on four occasions, and his great-uncle, James Blair, founded the College of William and Mary and was its first president. John graduated with honors from that school in 1754 before heading to the Middle Temple in London for legal training. In 1756, he married his cousin Jean Blair in Scotland.<\/p>

Once back home, Blair found Patrick Henry\u2019s response to the British government\u2019s Stamp Act of 1765 (which taxed the colonists by requiring stamps on printed materials) too radical and opposed Henry\u2019s resolutions attacking Parliament\u2019s authority. However, Blair later joined the 1770 boycott pledge against British imports and backed the 1774 call for a Continental Congress. At Virginia\u2019s 1776 convention he served on the committee that produced the state\u2019s declaration of rights, then rose through the state\u2019s new judiciary (becoming a General Court judge in 1777 and its chief judge by 1779, and later serving on the First Virginia Court of Appeals). In 1782\u2019s Commonwealth v. Caton<\/em>, that court asserted the power to strike legislation that was unconstitutional \u2013 though how Blair himself viewed judicial review is disputed, with Edmund Pendleton\u2019s notes suggesting that \u201c[he] took no position on the issue.\u201d Less ambiguously, Blair signed the judges\u2019 1788 \u201cRemonstrance\u201d declaring that a statute putting new duties on the bench unconstitutionally infringed upon judicial independence.<\/p>

At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, fellow delegate William Pierce reportedly judged Blair a weak public speaker (but with \u201ca very extensive knowledge of the Laws\u201d). Blair may have shared Pierce\u2019s assessment of his public speaking abilities, as he stayed off the floor at the Convention. Blair believed that Congress should choose the president but changed his vote once he realized he was dividing Virginia\u2019s delegation against the preferences of Washington and James Madison.<\/p>

On Sept. 24, 1789, the same day that he signed the Judiciary Act, Washington nominated Blair to the newly established Supreme Court, and the Senate confirmed him by a voice vote two days later. Blair was reportedly not expecting the position and admitted to Washington that he \u201ccould not but entertain some fears.\u201d He took the oath on Feb. 2, 1790, one day late (travel troubles had delayed the court\u2019s first sitting).<\/p>

The court\u2019s early docket was sparse \u2013 Oyez counts just 13 cases across his tenure \u2013 but circuit riding kept the justices busy, given they were sometimes on the road for 19 hours in a single day. In Blair\u2019s circuit work, he helped rule in 1792\u2019s Collet v. Collet<\/em>, which held that states had \u201cconcurrent authority\u201d (along with Congress) to naturalize citizens, so long as the states did not violate federal naturalization rules (e.g., by refusing to recognize a federally naturalized citizen). His defining opinion on the Supreme Court came in 1793\u2019s Chisholm v. Georgia<\/em>. The dispute arose when Alexander Chisholm, a South Carolina merchant acting as executor of an estate, sought payment from the state of Georgia and, unable to obtain relief, invoked the Supreme Court\u2019s original jurisdiction over cases involving it. Georgia denounced the proceedings as \u201cunconstitutional and extrajudicial,\u201d insisting a sovereign state could not be hauled into court by a private citizen of another state. Four justices ruled against Georgia, including Blair.<\/p>

Blair issued his opinion seriatim (separately) per the era\u2019s custom. In this, he \u201cdemonstrated his belief in the Constitution as the supreme legal authority in the nation and strengthened the federal government\u2019s power over the states,\u201d writing that \u201c[t]he constitution of the United States is the only fountain from which I shall draw.\u201d That said, Chisholm <\/em>was functionally overturned shortly after by the 11th Amendment, which limited the federal courts\u2019 power to hear lawsuits brought against states by foreign citizens and citizens of other states.<\/p>

Blair\u2019s wife died in November 1792, and his own frequent illnesses kept him from many sessions. Bothered by what he called \u201ca rattling, distracting noise\u201d in his head (possibly tinnitus), he resigned in late October 1795. Justice Samuel Chase would take his seat on the court. Blair died in Williamsburg in August 1800 and rests by Bruton Parish Church. Eulogists praised \u201chis mildness, gravity, and piety.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div>
