Professor Joel Johnson, The Learning Resources for Hemani -- Divided Argument

Professor Joel S. Johnson's essay, The Learning Resources for Hemani, is published on the Divided Argument blog. The essay examines the relevance of the Supreme Court's recent tariffs decision on one of its pending gun cases.

From The Learning Resources for Hemani:

The Supreme Court’s recent 6-3 decision in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump is a significant victory for those who believe the President cannot impose tariffs without a clear mandate from Congress. But as a scholar focused less on Congress’s power of the purse and more on its power to define crimes and set punishments, I see it as something more—a roadmap for the future of interpreting federal criminal statutes.
