This week in the Courts

Standard

I have two articles at The Federalist this week about Supreme Court cases:

  • On Tuesday, I wrote about why the sales tax decision in Wayfair was correct and pro-federalism.
  • On Wednesday, I wrote about the travel ban case, Trump v. Hawaii, and how it was shocking that it wasn’t 9-0.
