Hour Four
Tuesday 26 June 2018/ Hour 4, Block A: Lisa Daftari, The Foreign Desk, in re: The bazaaris in Iran (esp in Teheran’s Grand Bazaar; and note that the original uprising that sent the Pahlavi shah packing and brought in the Islamist regime with Ayatollah Khomeini was almost entirely composed of the bazaaris) are rising up across the country, calling for the Supreme Leader to resign and chanting, ”Death to the Palestinians” as part of a national objection to the waste of Iran’s funds in foreign and overseas adventures while most citizens can barely afford to feed their families. 90,000 riyals to the dollar. The brutal Basij are damaging those storefronts that close in response to the strike.
Tuesday 26 June 2018/ Hour 4, Block B: Adam J. White, research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, and director of the Center for the Study of the Administrative State at George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School, in re: The administrative state. I describe ht character of the government, one that’s first and foremost administrative. The White House is he prime mover while Congress sits back and acts as ombudsman. Administrative Law Judges (ALJ) don't sit o and consider the Constitution; they work within agencies, a sort of JV court. Agency employees designated as judges. The Supreme Court is interested to se if these ALJs are “officers” or not; decided not. The Chevron Deference (1984): When a Fed statute is ambiguous (and most are), court shd defer to the agency’s reasonable interpretation. . . . Calls to set aside the Chevron Deference. See: http://blog.acton.org/archives/102091-why-the-administrative-state-needs-to-shrink.html and Wall Street Journal op-ed.
