President Trump Uses National Emergency Powers to Block The International Criminal Court, Leaving American Property Rights Caught in the Crossfire.
President Trump\u27s Executive Order 14203 raises critical questions about using property-based mechanisms to enforce Presidential agendas. The International Emergency Economic Powers Act grants the President national emergency powers that override constitutional protections, including substantive and procedural due process rights. This piece examines how executive orders weaponize legal concepts to further geopolitical aims, with lasting implications for international relations and domestic rule of law. President Trump\u27s ongoing conflict with the International Criminal Court has left American property rights caught in the crossfire. EO 14203 bypasses procedural due process protections by allowing property blocking and sanctions without notice, freezing property interests without prior notification to affected parties. The executive order fails strict scrutiny because it infringes on property owners\u27 fundamental constitutional right to procedural due process. The lack of clear boundaries on what constitutes a national emergency means American property rights can be limited or eliminated. These broad emergency powers raise constitutional concerns about property ownership limitations, Presidential control, and government intervention that erode individual liberty and undermine the rule of law
Title IX and Athlete Compensation in the Postamateurism Era
This Essay argues that Title IX applies to all manners of compensation that universities provide and facilitate to their athletes because of their athletic participation. This includes paying wages (when and if that becomes permissible), paying for NIL (when that permission takes effect), and facilitating payments from booster collectives that are working on those universities’ behalf (as happens now). The statute and its implementing regulations create a structure of substantive equality that is flexible enough to address even the changing landscape of college athletics as it applies to matters of compensation that were not contemplated by the drafters of the statute or the regulations. The purpose of Title IX, as of any civil rights law, is to constrain market forces in the interest of fairness and equity. The fact that athletic participation may now come with a paycheck is more of a reason, not less, to ensure gender equity and apply Title IX
RECYCLING THE RULES: HOW COCA-COLA’S RECENT LEGAL BATTLES HIGHLIGHT THE NEED FOR MODERNIZING SUSTAINABILITY ADVERTISING LAWS TO PROTECT CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES
Should the FTC’s sustainability marketing guidelines be thrown out, or can they be recycled? In 2022, Coca-Cola faced two separate challenges from environmental groups alleging deceptive marketing practices based on the company’s unsubstantiated recycling and sustainability claims. In Swartz v. Coca-Cola Co., environmental groups sued the company for allegedly violating California consumer protection laws by marketing plastic bottles as “100% recyclable.” In Earth Island Inst. v. Coca-Cola Co., environmental groups targeted Coca-Cola’s broader marketing efforts where the company asserted that it was committed to reducing plastic pollution and using sustainable practices. In both instances, the court held in favor of Coca-Cola by relying on the broad and ambiguous language of the law and the Federal Trade Commission guidelines that influence it. More importantly, these cases highlight a growing conflict between federal guidelines, state law, judicial interpretation, and the demands of consumers
