    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2020 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus UNITED STATES v. ARTHREX, INC. ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT No. 19–1434. Argued March 1, 2021—Decided June 21, 2021* The question in these cases is whether the authority of Administrative Patent Judges (APJs) to issue decisions on behalf of the Executive Branch is consistent with the Appointments Clause of the Constitu- tion. APJs conduct adversarial proceedings for challenging the valid- ity of an existing patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). During such proceedings, the PTAB sits in panels of at least three of its members, who are predominantly APJs. 35 U. S. C. §§6(a), (c). The Secretary of Commerce appoints all members of the PTAB— including 200-plus APJs—except for the Director, who is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. §§3(b)(1), (b)(2)(A), 6(a). After Smith & Nephew, Inc., and ArthroCare Corp. (collectively, Smith & Nephew) petitioned for inter partes review of a patent secured by Arthrex, Inc., three APJs concluded that the patent was invalid. On appeal to the Federal Circuit, Arthrex claimed that the structure of the PTAB violated the Appointments Clause, which specifies how the President may appoint officers to assist in carrying out his responsi- bilities.

  • Government-Sponsored Prayer in the Classroom Robert E
    Government-Sponsored Prayer in the Classroom Robert E. Riggs uring its 1984 session the United States Senate fell eleven votes short of the two-thirds majority required to endorse a constitutional amend- ment allowing government-sponsored prayers in public schools (S. J. Res. 1983). This was the strongest support yet accorded to one of numerous such attempts to amend the Constitution since the Supreme Court first banned a state-composed school prayer in 1962. Religious proponents have vowed to continue the fight for the amendment (Cornell 1984), and politicians are unlikely to drop the subject with polls showing 80 percent public approval of prayer in the schools (Gallup 1982, 1983). Prayer amendments have been reintroduced in the 1985 session of Congress. At the state and local level, many school districts continue to permit school-organized prayer, regardless of its constitutionality and, in some instances, in disregard of minority objections. The school prayer issue varies in intensity from time to time and from one locality to another, but, somehow, it will not go away. School prayer has intrinsic importance for many people, but the persisting vitality of the issue springs from much broader concerns. It is rooted in perva- sive frustration with a wide range of social evils that seem attributable, at least in part, to the growing secularization of American society. The challenge of traditional religious values is real enough, as are accompanying signs of social disintegration. Drug abuse, crime, alcoholism, commercialized obscenity, illegitimacy, broken marriages, fraud and corruption in business and govern- ment, heavy dependence upon government welfare — the evidence is all around us.

When Deputy Assistant Attor- ney General Samuel Alito and his colleagues in OLC used the phrase "unitary executive'" they used "unitary" to convey two kinds of oneness. The executive is headed by a single person, not a collegial body, and that single person is the ultimate policy maker, with all others subordinate to him. In 2000, then-Judge Alito participated in a discussion of executive power, and noted his endorse- ment of the unitary executive theory that he had espoused while at OLC.' Over the next few years, "unitary" in "unitary executive" took on an added meaning: allowed to depart from the law, including the law of war, in some cir- 1. "When I was in OLC, however, we were known, actually, to read the text of the Constitu- tion, in particular Article Two, as well as The FederalistPapers.

  • Recess Appointments: Frequently Asked Questions
    Recess Appointments: Frequently Asked Questions Henry B. Hogue Specialist in American National Government March 11, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS21308 Recess Appointments: Frequently Asked Questions Summary Under the Constitution (Article II, §2, clause 2), the President and the Senate share the power to make appointments to high-level policy-making positions in federal departments, agencies, boards, and commissions. Generally, the President nominates individuals to these positions, and the Senate must confirm them before he can appoint them to office. The Constitution also provides an exception to this process. When the Senate is in recess, the President may make a temporary appointment, called a recess appointment, to any such position without Senate approval (Article II, §2, clause 3). This report supplies brief answers to some frequently asked questions regarding recess appointments. Additional information on recess appointments may be found in other CRS reports: CRS Report R42329, Recess Appointments Made by President Barack Obama, by Henry B. Hogue and Maureen O. Bearden; CRS Report RL33310, Recess Appointments Made by President George W. Bush, by Henry B. Hogue and Maureen O.

  • Common Legislative Encroachments on Executive Branch Authority
    Common Legislative Encroachments On Executive Branch Authority This memorandum lists and briefly discusses a variety of common provisions of legislation that are offensive to principles of separation of powers, and to executive power in par­ ticular, from the standpoint of policy or constitutional law. July 27, 1989 M e m o r a n d u m O p in io n for t h e G e n e r a l C o u n s e l s ’ C onsultative G r o u p * This memorandum provides an overview of the ways Congress most often intrudes or attempts to intrude into the functions and responsibili­ ties assigned by the Constitution to the executive branch. It highlights ten types o f legislative provisions commonly included in proposed legislation that weaken the Presidency. It is important that all of us be familiar with each o f these forms of encroachment on the executive’s constitutional authority. Only by consistently and forcefully resisting such congression­ al incursions can executive branch prerogatives be preserved. Of course, the methods o f intruding on executive power are limited only by Con­ gress’s imagination; thus, our ten examples are illustrative rather than exhaustive. This Office is always pleased to assist in reviewing legislation for any possible encroachments on the President’s authority. 1. Interference with the President’s Appointment Power The Appointments Clause is an essential aspect of separation of pow­ ers. By permitting the President or his direct subordinates to appoint the officials within the executive branch, the Appointments Clause helps ensure that those who make policy are accountable to the President.

    Copyright 2012 by Northwestern University School of Law Vol. 107 Northwestern University Law Review Colloquy CITIZENS UNITED AND THE SCOPE OF PROFESSOR TEACHOUT’S ANTI-CORRUPTION PRINCIPLE Seth Barrett Tillman* Actually stable laws require a stable vocabulary . Thus the magistrates of a state have a duty to see that names are not irresponsibly changed. —Richard M. Weaver, Ideas Have Consequences (1948)** The Constitution was intended to provide structural en- couragements to keep the logic and language of society as a whole from becoming corrupt, representing a technical and moral response to what they saw as a technical and moral problem. —Zephyr Teachout, The Anti-Corruption Principle (2009)*** I. WHY THIS COLLOQUY? The test of great scholarship is whether it changes the way people think and the way people live. That is also true for legal academic scholarship. But, for legal academics, perhaps the greatest sign of scholarly achievement is judicial reliance upon our craftsmanship. By any measure, Professor Teachout’s 2009 Cornell Law Review publication, The Anti-Corruption Principle,1 is a success. In 2010, one short year after publication, The Anti- Corruption Principle was relied upon by Justice Stevens in his Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission dissent,2 just as it was cited, disap- provingly, by Justice Scalia in his concurrence.3 If that was not enough of an accomplishment, The Anti-Corruption Principle has also been cited in * Lecturer of Law, National University of Ireland Maynooth.
