“The Constitution’s nondelegation principle limits Congress’s ability to delegate congressional powers to other entities. The principle is a crucial and inherent feature of our Constitution, which vests only specific powers in specific federal branches. Article I of the Constitution vests ‘all legislative powers herein granted’ in Congress, Article II vests ‘the executive power’ in the president, and Article III vests ‘the judicial power of the United States’ in the federal judiciary. By limiting Congress’s ability to delegate its legislative powers to other entities, the nondelegation principle helps courts maintain the constitutional separation of powers. Unfortunately, the federal judiciary has not done a great job at enforcing the nondelegation principle.” (11/19/25)

“Poland has announced it will close its last remaining Russian consulate in the northern Polish city of Gdansk following the targeting of a railway line to Ukraine from Warsaw, blaming Moscow for the incident. ‘I have decided to withdraw consent for the operation of the Russian consulate in Gdansk,’ Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told journalists on Wednesday. … The move means the only Russian diplomatic mission that will remain open in Poland will be the embassy in Warsaw. The Kremlin responded to the allegation by accusing Poland of ‘Russophobia.'” (11/19/25)

“In democracies all across the world, the party system appears unhealthy: Trust in parties is low, partisan antagonism is high, and elections feel existential instead of routine. Many countries’ equivalents of the Democrats and Republicans — parties that have been dominant at least since World War II — are suffering similar decline. Some are on the precipice of extinction. Populist parties are ascending seemingly everywhere. The synchronized collapse of mainstream parties around the world shows that what is happening in America is unexceptional — and, as a result, that many prominent theories for the American electorate’s malaise and discontent are incomplete.” (11/19/25)

“Gerrymandering has been a staple of the Republic since its beginning. The practice has such a storied tradition that it is named after Elbridge Gerry, one of our founding fathers who served as vice president under President James Madison. For decades, leftists attempted to outlaw partisan gerrymandering. Justice Anthony Kennedy could not make up his mind on the issue, so it languished until he retired. Fortunately for the Constitution, President Trump replaced Justice Kennedy — the Court’s swing vote for over a dozen years — with solid constitutionalist Justice Brett Kavanaugh. In 2019, thanks to Kavanaugh’s addition, the Court upheld partisan gerrymandering in Rucho v. Common Cause. Legislatures cannot gerrymander based on race, but they can do so based on partisanship.” (11/19/25)

“The government lawyer knew what was coming as she stood inside a courtroom and texted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent waiting in a corridor a few feet away. ‘I can’t do this,’ the lawyer said in a text message as she looked at her docket of cases. ‘This is a new emotional load.’ ‘I understand,’ the agent responded. ‘Hopefully we meet again in a better situation.’ Nearby, a Cuban man who had lived in the United States for years stepped from an elevator and into the courtroom where the government lawyer was waiting for what the man thought was a routine hearing. The man was doing what the law required, and brought along his wife, a legal resident, and their 7-month-old infant. Then the lawyer quickly moved to have the man’s asylum claim dismissed and a judge agreed, making the man eligible for ‘expedited removal.'” (11/19/25)

“When U.S. Magistrate Judge William E. Fitzpatrick blasted the Justice Department’s handling of the James Comey case on Monday, he did not address the merits of the perjury and obstruction charges against the former FBI director. But the government misconduct that Fitzpatrick described was largely a product of the reckless rush to deliver the grudge-driven indictment that President Donald Trump demanded. … These missteps, which Fitzpatrick said might prove serious enough to require dismissal of the indictment, did not happen in a vacuum. They were the consequences of Trump’s determination to get Comey, regardless of the facts or the law.” (11/19/25)

“One answer to why Reinventing Government failed is that its authors misunderstood the problem, or preferred not to understand it. In this view, the problem is not that good civil servants are trapped in bad systems. It is that civil servants constitute a ‘deep state’ that undermines elected officials and does the bidding of an unaccountable elite. Whatever the merits of this position, the second Trump administration has advanced a breathtakingly extreme version of it.” (11/19/25)
