Being pulled over by law enforcement is never fun, even if you’ve done nothing wrong. Imagine you’ve been pulled over to safely deal with something in your vehicle, then have a police officer pull up behind you. Nothing to worry about, right? Then imagine, after providing your driver's license, you’re pulled out of your car, searched, handcuffed, and “stuffed” into the back of the police cruiser while the officer searches your vehicle from stem to stern, even though you’ve done nothing wrong. Is legally carrying a firearm probable cause that you are committing a crime? An officer of the Waterbury, CT, police department used Mr. Soukaneh’s legally possessed firearm as “probable cause” to both detain him and search his vehicle.

Rather than looking at the facts of the case, a majority of the justices punted, claiming that the petitioners could not show a direct causal link between the actions of those in government and social media platform censorship. Justice Barrett, writing the opinion, makes the court’s point very succinctly. We begin—and end—with standing. At this stage, neither the individual nor the state plaintiffs have established standing to seek an injunction against any defendant. We therefore lack jurisdiction to reach the merits of the dispute. Standing is the only thing the majority of the court even bothered considering? The court goes on to explain that, while the plaintiffs have had their content restricted, they could show no direct causal link to government actors. The link actions taken by the social media companies could simply be coincidental to the communications with government agencies and, therefore, do not show that the injuries they suffered were caused by the federal government.

After the January 6th riots, the U.S. Department of Justice began charging anyone they thought had participated, but not just for the crimes they committed. According to the DOJ, anyone who showed up at the Capitol had corruptly obstructed or impeded an official proceeding, which was punishable by a fine and imprisonment for up to 20 years. Many claimed that the DOJ was overcharging these J6ers, misusing the law to punish dissenters. When it comes to 18 U. S. C. §1512(c), SCOTUS agreed. Everyone who has been charged with a violation of §1512(c)(2) in connection with January 6th can use this opinion to move that those charges be dropped. Any other charges may proceed, after all, since they are alleged to have committed those crimes, but they do have evidence that their §1512 charges should be dropped.

Chevron Deference, also called the Chevron Doctrine, comes from a 1984 Supreme Court case in which the court claimed that when Congress is silent or ambiguous in a law, the executive agency gets to “fill in the blanks.” This has allowed too much of the growth of the Administrative or Deep State. In Loper, the Supreme Court overturned Chevron, but will Loper be any better? Chevron was a mistake from the beginning. It ignored the law in a misguided attempt to move lawmaking power into the executive branch, thus establishing what we now call the Administrative or Deep State. Removing that power from the Administrative State can, over time, restore the executive branch to its proper role of executing laws, not establishing policy.

Before the Constitutional Convention, people expected George Washington to become our first king. Instead, we had a president, someone to execute the laws, and little else. With the decision in Trump v. United States, some are beginning to wonder, have we turned the office of president into the office of a king? What can we conclude from this historic decision? First, we have yet another example of the court simply making up laws out of thin air. As both the opinion and the dissent noted, there is no immunity clause for the President in the Constitution, yet the court makes one up. The court claims that the separation of powers grants the President immunity, but said immunity actually contradicts the separation of power by preventing the judicial branch from doing what it is constitutionally bound to do. It appears that the court needs to take a very close look in the mirror, for it seems to be projecting itself on the dissent.
