Opinion) Constitutionality of the Presidential Records Act The Presidential Records Act is unconstitutional because it exceeds Congress's enumerated and implied powers and aggrandizes the Legislative Branch at the expense of the constitutional independence and autonomy of the Executive. April 1, 2026 MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT You have asked whether the Presidential Records Act of 1978 ("PRA" or "Act") is constitutional. We conclude that it is not. The PRA is unconstitutional for two independent but interlocking reasons: It exceeds Congress's enumerated and implied powers, and it aggrandizes the Legislative Branch at the expense of the constitutional independence and autonomy of the Executive. "Every law enacted by Congress must be based on one or more of its powers enumerated in the Constitution," United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598, 607 2000), or "such implied powers as are necessary and proper to carry into effect the enumerated powers," Carter v. Carter Coal Co., 298 U.S. 238, 291 (1936). And congressional attempts to regulate the Presidency directly raise heightened separation of powers concerns. See The Constitutional Separation of Powers Between the President and Congress, 20 Op. O.L.C. 124, 126-29 (1996) ("Separation of Powers"). The PRA exceeds the oversight power because it serves no identifiable and valid legislative purpose. It exceeds any preservation power because Congress cannot preserve presidential records merely for the sake of posterity. It exceeds Congress's regulatory power over statutory agencies because it purports to regulate a constitutional office-the Presidency— that Congress did not create and that Congress cannot abolish. It exceeds the spending power, because that power allows Congress to incentivize outcomes with federal funding, not to directly regulate coordinate branches of government. And it exceeds Congress's power to assist in the execution of the powers vested in coordinate branches because it restri…

Trump's corner man is panicking

They’re still going! Commercial free!

Pisses me off every time!

It’s also about keeping people from going to college, and lowering expectations generally. They want a healthy crop of indentured servants for the next generation.

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

If you watched today’s episode of @cbssundaymorning.bsky.social, it’s clear that Bari Weiss now has her paws in it. I’m sure that Margaret Brennan + Face The Nation will be next.

If you watch today’s episode of CBS Sunday Morning, it’s clear that she’s now got her paws in it. I’m sure that Margaret Brennan will be next.

This morning’s episode had Ted Koppel interviewing a southeastern bear-hunting family, and Norah O interviewing podcaster Mel Robbins. Always “light,” but there shift is visible.

The big new @pewresearch.org poll found Trump’s approval down to 37%, a number shrinking ever-closer to his hard-core quarter-of-America cult, those who still “support all or most of Trump’s policies” (27%), still say he “respects US democratic values” (25%) and “acts ethically in office” (21%).

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

HNTB Corp. has been the engineering consultant of record for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority for the entire 77-year history of the NJTA -- until now.

The Supreme Court Just Gave Trump the Green Light to Do His Worst The conservative justices’ ruling in the birthright citizenship case unshackles the president from lower-court rulings that curbed his unconstitutional abuses of power.

The Supreme Court looked at the birthright citizenship litigation and said, “You know what the real threat to our constitutional order is? Federal district court judges.” newrepublic.com/article/1973...

This Supreme Court ruling requires public schools to allow parents to opt their children out of lessons that don't align with their families' religious beliefs.

This will harm teachers' ability to foster inclusive, welcoming educational experiences reflective of the diverse communities they serve.

What is happening in immigration detention right now is inhumane and unsustainable.

After NJ's deadliest year for pedestrians in decades, state plans to cut safety money After New Jersey recorded the deadliest year for pedestrians in 36 years, Gov. Phil Murphy has proposed cutting money for pedestrian safety projects.

There were 227 pedestrian deaths in NJ in 2024 — the deadliest year for peds since 1986.

Gov Murphy vowed to make this a priority in his state of the state this year.

Yet the gov’s budget proposal slashes funding for local transportation safety projects.

Thank you for your continued outstanding research and journalism.

Longtime NJ Advance Media reporter Matt Arco dies at age 39 Matt Arco, 39, covered New Jersey and national politics for NJ Advance Media.

I only really ever heard about the greatness of Matthew Arco having only met him once or twice.

But his legendary career lives on in the clips. What a loss for local journalism and NJ.
