Professor Tang Writes in N.Y. Times About Major Questions Doctrine and Trump

Professor Aaron Tang wrote an April 20 essay in the New York Times about how the major questions doctrine, which had been popularized by conservatives on the Supreme Court to constrain the reach of regulatory agencies, now is being used to challenge President Donald Trump’s “seemingly boundless claims of presidential power.”

“As the saying goes, what goes around, comes around,” Tang writes. “And it is not likely to be good for Mr. Trump.”
