Independent Agencies: Form And Substance In Executive Prerogative, Glen O. Robinson
Independent Agencies: Form And Substance In Executive Prerogative, Glen O. Robinson
Duke Law Journal
Among other things, the Supreme Court's decision in Morrison v. Olson, 1 upholding Congress's authorization of independent counsel to investigate and prosecute high-ranking government officials for violation of federal criminal laws, presumably will chill speculation that the Supreme Court is prepared to rethink the constitutionality of the independent agencies.
