Stāsta Latvijas Universitātes bibliotēkas darbiniece, filoloģijas doktore Aija Taimiņa. Kāpēc viduslaiku bibliotēkās grāmatām bija stipras dzelzs ķēdes? Kāpēc tika veidotas katenātu (libri catenati, latīņu) jeb ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēkas? Pirmā atbilde vienmēr bijusi – lai nodrošinātos pret zagšanu. Bet varbūt grāmata (proti, tās saturs) ir bīstama, agresīva, tā būtu jāieslēdz, jāpieķēdē, lai nenonāktu nepiederošas personas rokās? (Lai atceramies stāstu par Hariju Poteru un epizodi Cūkkārpas bibliotēkas Slēgtajā nodaļā (Restricted section, angļu). Bet vai patiesi? Vai tam nav cita, racionāla skaidrojuma? Ķēde, kas fiksē grāmatu pie plaukta vai lasāmpults paredzēta drīzāk tam, lai saglabātu kārtību grāmatu skapjos un daudzu lasītāju  apmeklētās lasāmzālēs. Un vēl – grāmatas pieķēdēšana nevis ierobežo lasīt- un studētkāri, bet nodrošina to, lai svarīga grāmata ir visiem (kādam noteiktam lasītāju lokam) un vienmēr pieejama. To norāda pirmās, senākās ziņas par pieķēdētajām grāmatām. Proti, 11. gadsimtā Elzasā, Veisenburgas benediktīniešu klostera baznīcā bijušas četras pieķēdētas psalmu grāmatas; psaltērijs (Psalterium) ir svarīga viduslaiku liturģiskā grāmata, kas garīdzniekiem kalpoja ikdienas aizlūgumiem, tās saturā baznīcas gada ritējumam paredzētie psalmi, litānijas svētajiem. “Klosteris bez grāmatu skapjiem ir kā pilsēta bez ieroču arsenāla” (Claustrum sine armario, quasi castrum sine armamentario, latīņu), teica 12. gs. augustīnietis Žofruā de Breteijs (Geoffroy de  Breteuil, +1149). Viduslaiku bibliotēku daudzus gadu simtus  veidoja lielāki vai mazāki rokrakstu sējumi – pergamenta vai papīra kodeksi ar ādu pārvilktos koka vākos. Klosteriem bija savas bibliotēkas, dažiem izcilas, lielas un bagātas, citiem – pieticīgākas. Lasīšana (lectio monastica, latīņu) bija klauzūrai pakļauto klostera iemītnieku ikdienas dzīves norise. Slēgtajā klostera kopienas dzīvē bija paredzēti gan skaļi liturģiski lasījumi dievkalpojumos, bet visbiežāk brāļi vai māsas kopīgu pusdienu laikā refektorijā (remterī) noklausījās skaļu priekšā lasījumu (collatio ad mensam, latīņu): kādu atbilstošu teoloģisku tekstu, Bībeles vietu, citkārt stāstu par konventa vai ordeņa vēsturi. Monastiskā dzīvesveida sastāvdaļa bija individuāla jeb kontemplatīva lasīšana, lai lasot iedvesmotos lūgšanām un pārdomām. Tad grāmatu klosterbrālis (klostermāsa) lasīja pats vai nu savā guļamtelpā (dormitorijā) vai citā tam paredzētajā vietā. Viduslaiku intelektuālo eliti veidoja dominikāņu un franciskāņu ordeņi, kuru radītajās un uzturētajās mācību iestādēs vismaz kopš 13.gs. nodevās vairākus gadu ilgstošām teoloģijas, filosofijas, dabaszinātņu un mākslu studijām. Sprediķotāju (dominikāņu) un ubagotājmūku (minorītu) ordeņi veidoja vairāku līmeņu skolu tīklojumu, darbojās universitātēs. Visnopietnāko darbu ar grāmatām prasīja studijas, kas prasīja dziļi nodoties sholastiskajai lasīšanai. Ja klosterim bija sava mācību iestāde, tad lasīšana bija neatņemama mācību daļa, grāmatas bija nepieciešamas teoloģijas, tiesību, hagioloģijas, homilētikas studijām. Sholastiskā lasīšana prasīja rūpīgi studēt dažāda satura tekstus, meklēt citātus, salīdzinātu un pārbaudīt formulējumus. Turklāt ordenis gādāja tā deleģētajam augstskolas studentam vajadzīgās grāmatas. Garīgie ordeņi uzturēja plašas klosteru bibliotēkas, tomēr grāmatu krājums bija klostera vai ordeņa īpašums, nevis studenta vai ordeņa garīdznieka personīgā manta. Arī viduslaiku laicīgo universitāšu vidē sholastiskā lasīšana bija obligāta. Tātad grāmatas bija ļoti pieprasītas, nepieciešamas visai plašam lasītāju lokam, kā klosteros, tā augstskolās. Pirmajās jaundibināto universitāšu bibliotēkās noteikti bijuši visai ievērojami ķēžu grāmatu krājumi. Lielākajā vēlo viduslaiku universitātē, Parīzes Sorbonnā (izveidota 1150), 14. gs. vidū bija 1722 rokrakstu kodeksi; Heidelbergas universitātei 15.gs. vidū piederēja 800 manuskripti. Sena gravīra rāda Leidenes universitātes  profesoriem un studentiem pieejamo bibliotēku ar pultīm un pieķēdētām grāmatam, kas ierīkota 1610. gadā un veidota pēc Sorbonnas parauga. Piekļuvi universitāšu bibliotēku krājumiem visai stingri regulēja noteikumi, katrā augstskolā atšķirīgi. Daudzu Vācijas universitāšu bibliotēkās varēja strādāt tikai profesori, kam tika izsniegta bibliotēkas atslēgas. Oksfordas universitātes bibliotēkā 1412. gada drīkstēja lasīt tikai tie absolventi, kas jau 8 gadus bija studējuši filosofiju. Turklāt Sorbonnas un Oksfordas universitāšu bibliotēkas jau 13. gs. bija sadalītas divās daļās: “lielo bibliotēku” (magna libraria, latīņu) jeb  publikas (kopīgo) bibliotēku (bibliotheca publica, latīņu) veidoja uz vietas lasāmie pieķēdētie sējumi, bet grāmatas no plauktos un lādēs glabātās “mazās bibliotēkas”(parva libraria, latīņu) varēja arī aizlienēt un ņemt uz māju. “Mazo bibliotēku” dažviet sauca arī par slēgto (savrupo)  bibliotēku (bibliotheca secreta), to veidoja lielākoties tekstu dublikāti. Gluži tāpat arī klosteru bibliotēkās – viena daļa izcilāko grāmatu glabājās atsevišķi un bija domātas noslēgtam lokam, bet otra daļa bija izkārtota  visiem – garīdzniekiem, klosterbrāļiem un audzēkņiem pieejamos plauktos. Klostera grāmatu krājumam bieži ierādīja kādu atsevišķu telpu, grāmatas tika glabātas lādēs vai skapjos, un lielākoties guļus, kārtotas tematiskās grupās. Tikai vēlajos viduslaikos grāmatas sāka likt plauktos. Smagās un lielās grāmatas visbiežāk turēja uz slīpām pultīm  vai lasāmsoliem, lai lielos un smagos sējumus varētu lasīt stāvus – tā vieglāk strādāt, ērtāk lasīt sīkiem burtiem blīvi rakstīto tekstu, tā tiek optimāli izmantots pieticīgais lasītavas apgaismojums. Tikai lēnam izveidojās ieraša lasīt sēdus.  Smago sējumu pie slīpās pults fiksēja kalta dzelzs ķēde, kuras gredzens tika uzvērts uz metāla stieņa pults augšpusē, bet otrs gals piestiprināts grāmatas vākam. Jāzina, ka viduslaiku kodekss ārēji ir visai ‘mazrunīgs': sējumam ādas vākos nav nav ātri  atpazīstamu  ārējo pazīšanas zīmju (titula uzlīmju, etiķešu, uzrakstu uz muguriņām, šifru, inventāra Nr.). Grāmatai nav izteiksmīga vāka, titullapas, apdrukātas muguriņas. Tikai kāda neliela pergamenta uzlīme ar pāris vārdiem vai numuru uz vāka... vai ar melnu tinti lieliem trekniem burtiem uzrakstīts zīmīgs vārds uz grāmatas griezuma; jo grāmatas plauktos bieži novietoja ar ādas muguriņu uz iekšu... Tāpēc kārtības uzturēšana senā klostera vai universitātes bibliotēkā ar daudziem gandrīz vienādiem brūnas ādas sējumiem ir būtiski svarīga; grāmatai ir tik viegli nomaldīties un pazaudēties starp līdzīgajām. Grāmatniecības vēsturnieks Henrijs Petroski asprātīgi teicis: “Mēs parasti domājam par grāmatām, nevis par to plauktiem. Ielikt grāmatu atpakaļ plauktā ir apmēram tas pats, kas ielikt atpakaļ sardīni konservu kārbā” (Henry Petroski, 1999). Ne velti latīņu valodā viduslaiku  bibliotēkas glabātāja – ‘armarius' apzīmējums atvasināts no vārda ‘armarium' – skapis. Labs bibliotēkas pārzinis jeb ‘skapinieks' darīs visu, lai grāmatas zinātu savu vietu arī tad, ja bibliotēku vēlas lietot daudzi apmeklētāji. Efektīvs viduslaiku risinājums bija ķēde, kas piesaista grāmatu vietai: lasāmpultij vai plauktam. Ķēde var nosargāt bibliotēkas krājumus; tā līdz pret zagšanu – grāmatu nav daudz, un tās ir ievērojama vērtība; pret sajukumu krājumā un pavaļīgi izņemšanu un atvietošanu. Turklāt ķēde pasargā masīvo un vērtīgo kodeksu no kritiena. Grāmatu pieķēdēšanas prakse apsīka līdz ar grāmatiespiešanas straujo progresu: grāmatu skaits strauji pieauga, arī sējumi vairs nebija tik masīvi un smagi. Grāmatu pieķēdēšanas vēsturē slēpjas arī kādi paradoksi. Proti, dažkārt grāmatu pieķēdēja, lai to publiskajā telpā varētu brīvi lasīt visi. Anglijas karlis Henrijs VIII 1537. gadā pavēlējis pieķēdēt Bībeli katrā draudzes baznīcā, lai draudzes locekļi var tai paši piekļūt un lasīt. Citviet līdzīgu iemeslu dēļ ticis pieķēdēts katķisms. Tāpat arī Anglijas karalis Eduards VI 1547. gadā lika turēt baznīcā pieejamā vietā Bībeli angliski un Roterdamas Erasma  Evaņģēliju pārstāstus latīniski (Paraprhrases, 1517). Tā garīdzniekiem un  draudzei ik brīdi bija pieejama stacionāri vienā vietā fiksēta grāmata.  Reformācijas laika prakse bija balstīta protestantisma pamatprincipā sola scriptura (tikai raksti), kas jau agrāk bija tikusi aprobēts viduslaiku klostera baznīcā Veisenburgā. Viduslaiku  atmiņas (memoria) un piemiņas kultūrā iekļaujas senajos testamentos un dāvinājumu dokumentos  izteiktā griba dāvināt kādam klosterim (baznīcai, bibliotēkai) ķēžu grāmatas. Tā līdz ar pieķēdētajām grāmatām ilgstošā piemiņā  tiktu saglabāts arī dāvinātāja vārds. Ir iespējams joprojām apmeklēt vairākas senas bibliotēkas, kas saglabājušas sākotnēji izveidotās ķēžu grāmatu lasītavas: vecākā ir Itālijā, Čezēnas (Cesena) pilsētā netālu no Boloņas. Tur joprojām aplūkojama 15. gs. vidū (1447–1452) izveidotā Malatestu ģimenes  bibliotēka Libraria Malatestiana, kuras sākotne ir  vietējā franciskāņu klostera grāmatu krātuve. Malatestu bibliotēkas lasītavā pie pultīm pieslēgti 343 viduslaiku manuskripti. Anglijā, Oksfordas universitātes Bodleana bibliotēkas ievērojamākā un senākā daļa ir Hamfrija Lankastera, Glosteras hercoga (Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, 1390–1447) ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēka (281 sējums), ko hercogs bija novēlējis universitātei. Herfordas katedrāles (Hereford Cathedral) ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēka ierīkota 17.gs. vidū un tajā atrodas 229 viduslaiku manuskripti. Holandē,  Zitfenā (Zutphen), Sv. Valbergas baznīcas bibliotēka tikusi pieķēdēta tikai 1546.gadā, jo tad sākuši zust sējumi, un tika pieņemts, ka Sātans zog vērtīgākās grāmatas. Pēc apspriešanās tika pieķēdētas 286 grāmatas. Katra ķēde tika apslacīta ar svētītu ūdeni. Iesējumam piestiprinātā ķēde visdrošāk liecina par grāmatas piederību kāda klostera bibliotēkai. Ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēkas noteikti bija arī Livonijā, Rīgā. Daudzas grāmatas ar 15. gs. pēdējā trešdaļā / 16. gs. sākumā kaltām dzelzs ķēdēm (un ķēžu stiprinājumu paliekām) lielākoties nākušas no diviem nozīmīgākajiem Rīgas klosteriem – no Rīgas Sv. Jāņa Kristītāja dominikāņu klostera un Rīgas Sv. Katrīnas franciskāņu observantu klostera. Tomēr nav zināms, kur Rīgas franciskāņu un dominikāņu klosteros bija ierādīta vieta viņu grāmatu plauktiem un lasāmpultīm. Tāpat nevar ar pārliecību apgalvot, ka klosteru grāmatas iesietas un ķēdes piestiprinātas tieši Rīgā. Pēc reformācijas laika nemieriem daudzas abu klosteru grāmatas nonāca Rīgas pilsētas pārziņā un nogulās Rīgas pilsētas bibliotēkā. Tagad Latvijas Universitātes bibliotēkas krājumā ir visai ievērojams, unikāls  katenātu krājums: 76 kodeksiem ķēde ir saglabājusies (tie ir 15.gs. 70.–90. gadu iespieddarbi, un pāris 16. gs. sākuma (1505–1519) izdevumi); vēl 40 grāmatas savu ķēdi laika gaitā ir zaudējušas, kaut ķēdes stiprinājuma paliekas tās esamību pārliecinoši  apstiprina. Te jāpiebilst, ka racionālisma laikmets pret ķēžu grāmatām bija visai nežēlīgs, daudzas lielās, modernās bibliotēkas lika smagās un neveiklās ķēdes noņemt, lai tās netraucētu. Rīgas katenāti ir lieliska, patiesi autentiska viduslaiku materiālās kultūras liecība, kas stāsta par ļoti senu grāmatniecības tradīciju.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of unease settles in, akin to witnessing a seismic shift in the foundational landscape of American governance. This initiative, spearheaded by conservative organizations, aims to radically reshape the federal government, centralizing power in the White House and dismantling the independence of various federal agencies.At its core, Project 2025 is rooted in the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that seeks to consolidate control over the entire executive branch under direct presidential oversight. Kevin Roberts, a key proponent, succinctly captures this vision: "all federal employees should answer to the president."[4]One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its plan to eliminate the independence of agencies like the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). These agencies, designed to operate without political interference, are now targeted for overhaul. The project dismisses these entities as "so-called independent agencies," reflecting a disdain for the checks and balances that have long been a cornerstone of American democracy[5].For instance, the Federal Trade Commission, a body established to protect consumers and promote competition, would no longer enjoy the autonomy granted by Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court in *Humphrey's Executor v. United States*. Under Project 2025, the president would gain the power to remove FTC commissioners at will, should they not align with the president's agenda. This change would fundamentally alter the FTC's ability to function independently, potentially turning it into a tool for partisan policy implementation[5].The State Department is another focal point of this initiative. Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter of Project 2025, advocates for the dismissal of all State Department employees in leadership roles before January 20, 2025. These positions would be filled by ideologically vetted leaders appointed to acting roles, bypassing the need for Senate confirmation. Skinner's rationale is telling: she believes most State Department employees are too left-wing and need to be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president. When questioned about specific instances where State Department employees obstructed Trump policies, Skinner admitted she could not name any[4].The implications of such reforms are far-reaching and profound. By centralizing power and eliminating the independence of federal agencies, Project 2025 would effectively create an "imperial presidency," where the president's authority is virtually unchecked. This would shatter the system of checks and balances that has been a bulwark of American democracy since its inception. As the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) notes, the re-election of a president aligned with these policies would have "immense" consequences, potentially undermining the very fabric of democratic governance[1].The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the White House would also play a critical role in this new landscape. Project 2025 proposes that OIRA should review and potentially revise or block rules and significant guidance issued by independent agencies. This would further erode the autonomy of these agencies, ensuring that all regulatory actions align with the president's agenda rather than serving the public interest[5].The potential impacts of these changes are alarming. Experts warn that such a concentration of power could lead to policies that are detrimental to workers, consumers, and the broader public. The Center for Progressive Reform is tracking these executive action proposals across 20 federal agencies, highlighting the devastating consequences for various sectors, from labor rights to environmental regulations[3].As we approach the milestones outlined in Project 2025, the stakes are high. The plan's proponents are pushing for significant changes to be implemented by January 20, 2025. This timeline underscores the urgency and the need for vigilant scrutiny from both policymakers and the public.In reflecting on Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative represents a fundamental challenge to the democratic principles that have guided the United States. It is a call to action, a reminder that the balance of power in American governance is not a static entity but a dynamic system that requires constant vigilance and engagement. As we move forward, it is crucial to monitor these developments closely, ensuring that the checks and balances that safeguard our democracy are not dismantled in the name of executive power. The future of American governance hangs in the balance, and the decisions made in the coming months will have lasting implications for generations to come.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of unease settles in, akin to watching a seismic shift in the foundations of American governance. This initiative, spearheaded by conservative organizations, aims to reshape the federal government in ways that are both profound and troubling.At its core, Project 2025 is rooted in the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that seeks to centralize control over the government in the White House. Kevin Roberts, a key proponent, succinctly captures this vision: "all federal employees should answer to the president."[4]One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its plan to dismantle the independence of various federal agencies. Agencies like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which have historically operated with a degree of autonomy to ensure they are not swayed by political whims, are now in the crosshairs. These agencies, designed to be quasi-legislative or quasi-judicial bodies, are protected by Supreme Court precedents such as *Humphrey's Executor v. United States*, which shields their commissioners from removal except "for cause." However, Project 2025 seeks to overrule this precedent, granting the president the power to remove these commissioners at will if they do not align with the president's agenda[5].The implications are far-reaching. For instance, the Department of State is slated for a significant overhaul. Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter of Project 2025, advocates for the dismissal of all leadership roles within the department before January 20, 2025. She intends to replace these positions with ideologically vetted leaders appointed to acting roles that do not require Senate confirmation. Skinner's rationale is stark: she believes most State Department employees are too left-wing and need to be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president[4].This ideological purge is not limited to the State Department. The plan extends to other federal agencies, with the aim of ensuring that every branch of the executive government is directly answerable to the president. The White House's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) is proposed to play a more intrusive role, reviewing and potentially revising or blocking rules and significant guidance issued by independent agencies. This would further erode the independence of these bodies, aligning them more closely with the president's policies[5].The potential consequences of such reforms are daunting. Experts warn that these changes could destroy the system of checks and balances that has been a cornerstone of American democracy. As the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) notes, the re-election of a president aligned with these policies could have "immense" implications, potentially leading to an "imperial presidency" with almost unlimited power to implement policies without significant oversight[1][5].The broader theme here is the erosion of democratic guardrails. Project 2025 represents a fundamental shift away from the principles of separation of powers and towards a more authoritarian form of governance. This is not merely a theoretical concern; it has real-world implications for workers, consumers, and the general public. For example, the Federal Trade Commission, which plays a crucial role in protecting consumers from unfair business practices, could find its ability to act independently severely curtailed. Similarly, the National Labor Relations Board, which safeguards workers' rights, might see its authority diminished under a president who prioritizes corporate interests over labor rights[5].As I reflect on the scope and ambition of Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative is not just about policy reforms; it is about redefining the very fabric of American governance. The project's proponents argue that these changes are necessary to streamline government and ensure efficiency, but critics see it as a power grab that undermines the democratic process.Looking ahead, the next few months will be critical. As the 2024 elections approach, the fate of Project 2025 will likely be tied to the outcome. If a president aligned with these policies is elected, we can expect a swift and decisive push to implement these reforms. The Supreme Court, which has already shown a inclination towards a stronger unitary executive, may play a pivotal role in upholding or challenging these changes[4].In conclusion, Project 2025 is a stark reminder of the ongoing battle for the soul of American democracy. As we navigate these uncharted waters, it is imperative that we remain vigilant and informed, ensuring that the principles of democracy and the rule of law are not sacrificed at the altar of political ideology. The future of American governance hangs in the balance, and the decisions made in the coming months will have lasting impacts on the nation's trajectory.

As I delve into the intricacies of Project 2025, a sense of unease settles in, not just because of the far-reaching implications it holds for American governance, but also due to the sheer ambition and controversial nature of its proposals. This initiative, spearheaded by conservative organizations, aims to reshape the federal government in a way that centralizes executive power to an unprecedented degree.At the heart of Project 2025 lies the unitary executive theory, an expansive interpretation of presidential power that seeks to consolidate control over the entire executive branch under the direct authority of the White House. Kevin Roberts, a key proponent, succinctly captures this vision: "all federal employees should answer to the president."[4]One of the most striking aspects of Project 2025 is its plan to dismantle the independence of various federal agencies.

These agencies, established by Congress to ensure impartial oversight, are dismissed by Project 2025 as "so-called independent agencies," reflecting a disdain for the checks and balances they provide[5].For instance, the FTC, a quasi-judicial body, has long been shielded from presidential removal by the Supreme Court's ruling in *Humphrey's Executor v. United States*. However, Project 2025 seeks to overrule this precedent, allowing the president to remove commissioners at will if they do not align with the president's agenda. This move would fundamentally alter the operational independence of these agencies, subjecting them to direct presidential control[5].The Department of State is another focal point of Project 2025's reforms. Kiron Skinner, who authored the State Department chapter of the project, advocates for the dismissal of all Department of State employees in leadership roles before January 20, 2025. These positions would then be filled by ideologically vetted leaders appointed to acting roles, bypassing the need for Senate confirmation. Skinner's rationale is telling: she believes most State Department employees are too left-wing and need to be replaced by those more loyal to a conservative president[4].The implications of such changes are profound. By placing the entire executive branch under direct presidential control, Project 2025 would effectively create an "imperial presidency," where the president has almost unlimited power to implement policies without the traditional checks and balances. This would not only undermine the independence of critical agencies but also erode the democratic guardrails that have long protected American governance[5].Experts and critics alike warn of the devastating consequences of these proposals. The Center for Progressive Reform is tracking Project 2025's executive action proposals across 20 federal agencies, highlighting the potential for "devastating consequences for workers, the environment, and public health"[3].The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has also sounded the alarm, noting that Project 2025 could lead to the termination of up to 1 million federal workers. This would not only disrupt essential government services but also have a crippling impact on the lives of those employees and their families[2].As I reflect on the scope and ambition of Project 2025, it becomes clear that this initiative represents a seismic shift in how the federal government could operate. The project's proponents argue that it is necessary to streamline government and ensure loyalty to the president's agenda. However, critics see it as a dangerous erosion of democratic principles and the rule of law.Looking ahead, the next few months will be crucial. As the 2025 deadline approaches, the fate of Project 2025 will likely be decided through a combination of legislative actions, judicial challenges, and public discourse. Whether this initiative succeeds in reshaping American governance or is thwarted by opposition, one thing is certain: the future of the U.S. government hangs in the balance.In the words of the American Civil Liberties Union, "the re-election of Donald Trump as president will have immense implications" for the success of Project 2025. As the nation navigates this critical juncture, it is imperative that we remain vigilant and engaged, ensuring that the principles of democracy and the system of checks and balances are protected for generations to come[1].

This past week, the Supreme Court issued stays of injunctions which lower courts had issued, those injunctions blocking the firings of officials on statutorily independent agencies.  In doing so, the Court may have pointed to an imminent overruling of Humphrey's Executor, possibly removing existing limitations on the unitary executive theory.  At the same time, the Court moved to protect the Federal Reserve, or at least markets' perception of the independence of that crucial Board.  Several justices reacted strongly, led by Justice Kagan, who found fault not only in the ruling regarding the injunction, but in the behavior of the President in bringing this case on in the first place.  We take a deeper look at these controversies.  Meanwhile, the Court deadlocked in a religious freedom case, and surprisingly, we see a connection between these two events.  And some other tidbits, as well.  CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

Let's take a deep dive into the cult practices and borderline witchcraft that Trump's new Surgeon General, Casey Means, likes to dabble in. Plus, SCOTUS may be on the cusp of nuking Humphrey's Executor.

Trump was back in town, by which I mean my town, for his Big Crypto-Bribery Dinner. It's like an invasion! These people are terrorists! And they probably have the tattoos to prove it! And if they don't, we can make them have them, in totally undoctored photos! Anyway, the good news is, Trump took their money and screwed them. So that's nice. The only problem with that is, he's also gonna take your money and screw you. And if you take him to court and win, no you didn't. Constitushimal scholar Kristi Noem breaks the world record for the most wrong answer ever given to the question “What is habeas corpus?” Of course, the “real” constimatushimal scholars aren't doing much better. Maybe you've been hearing about this Humphrey's Executor thing? Well, here's what's up. Can't believe those relatively smart-ish law nerds are chucking it all… for this! The next round of deportation outrage. Not only is it dumber and more nonsensical, but it's yet another example of the defiance everybody was totally gonna do something about next time it happens! Just how dumb and nonsensical is it? Imagine this: It's, like, 500 billion nonsensical! That's a lot of nonsensical!

This Day in Legal History: SCOTUS Upholds CFPB Funding StructureOn May 16, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a major ruling in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, Ltd., upholding the constitutionality of the CFPB's funding structure. In a 7–2 decision, the Court held that the agency's funding—drawn from the Federal Reserve and not subject to annual congressional appropriations—does not violate the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Roberts emphasized that the Constitution permits flexibility in funding mechanisms so long as they are authorized by law and subject to congressional oversight in some form. The ruling affirmed the CFPB's continued ability to regulate financial institutions and enforce consumer protection laws independent of Congress's annual budget process.The decision marked a significant moment in the Court's treatment of agency independence, particularly at a time of renewed scrutiny of the administrative state. It was widely seen as a victory for supporters of the CFPB, which had faced ongoing legal and political challenges since its creation under the Dodd-Frank Act in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. However, the case also highlighted the growing skepticism among certain justices—and lawmakers—about the breadth of agency power and accountability.Just one year later, the CFPB's future is again uncertain. With a new administration openly hostile to the agency and legislative efforts underway to curtail its authority or restructure its funding, the May 2024 decision is already being treated as legal history. Though the Court upheld the agency's funding, the political battle over the CFPB continues, casting doubt on how long the victory will stand.Intel appeared before the EU General Court to contest a €376 million ($421.4 million) antitrust fine reimposed by the European Commission. The fine stems from the Commission's 2009 decision, which originally imposed a record €1.06 billion penalty for Intel's actions that allegedly excluded rival AMD from the market. Though the General Court overturned the majority of that decision in 2022, it upheld a portion related to so-called “naked restrictions”—payments Intel made to HP, Acer, and Lenovo to delay or halt rival products between 2002 and 2006.Intel's lawyer argued that the violations were narrow and tactical, not part of a broader strategy to shut out competitors from the x86 chip market. He claimed the Commission failed to weigh the limited impact of those actions and imposed a disproportionate and unfair fine. The Commission countered that the fine followed established guidelines and represented only a small fraction of Intel's turnover, asserting that the penalty was appropriate for the seriousness of the conduct.Both sides asked the court to settle the matter by determining the appropriate fine amount. A decision is expected in the coming months.Intel spars with EU regulators over $421.4 million antitrust fine | ReutersA federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., heard arguments in a case that could redefine the U.S. president's authority to remove officials from independent federal agencies. The Trump administration is appealing two lower court decisions that reinstated Democratic officials Cathy Harris to the Merit Systems Protection Board and Gwynne Wilcox to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after President Trump removed them without cause earlier this year. Both boards, which handle labor disputes and federal employee appeals, were left effectively inoperable due to vacancies, with thousands of pending cases.The administration argues that statutory protections limiting removals to “cause” violate the president's constitutional authority to control the executive branch. Trump's legal team claims that these agencies exercise substantial executive power and therefore should not be shielded from presidential oversight. The case may hinge on Humphrey's Executor, a 1935 Supreme Court decision that upheld removal protections for members of independent commissions like the Federal Trade Commission. Conservative judges—including two Trump appointees on the panel—have recently questioned the decision's reach.If the D.C. Circuit sides with Trump, it could pave the way for a broader dismantling of long-standing removal protections across federal agencies. Legal scholars warn that such a move could give the president far-reaching power to reshape regulatory policy by purging officials who don't align with the administration's agenda. The case could ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court and lead to a narrowing or overruling of Humphrey's Executor.US court to weigh Trump's powers to fire Democrats from federal agencies | ReutersData obtained through a public records request reveals that recent buyouts at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have significantly reduced staffing in key divisions. The legal, investment management, and trading and markets offices experienced workforce cuts ranging from 15% to 19% over just a few weeks. Regional offices in Chicago and Denver also saw nearly 20% reductions. Overall, the SEC's full-time staff has shrunk by 12% since January, with agency chair Paul Atkins recently noting a 15% decrease since October.These losses come amid ongoing hiring freezes and budget restrictions. While Atkins suggested that some roles may be refilled, he did not dismiss the possibility of more cuts. In parallel, more than 20 SEC employees have been reassigned to focus on contract reviews, part of a broader cost-cutting initiative coordinated with the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), led by Elon Musk. DGE has expanded its presence at SEC headquarters and is reviewing agency operations, particularly IT services, to identify further savings.The SEC declined to comment on the staffing reductions, though a spokesperson confirmed it is working with DGE to improve efficiency. The full implications of these staffing losses for the agency's regulatory functions remain unclear.SEC buyouts hit legal, investment offices hardest, data shows | ReutersMeta Platforms asked a federal judge to dismiss the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust lawsuit, arguing the agency failed to prove that the company holds an illegal monopoly in social media. The case, which centers on Meta's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, claims these deals were aimed at neutralizing potential rivals and maintaining dominance in the market for apps used to share personal updates. The FTC wants to unwind those acquisitions, made more than a decade ago.Meta contends the FTC's case falls short of demonstrating that WhatsApp and Instagram posed meaningful competitive threats at the time of acquisition. The company pointed to internal evidence suggesting WhatsApp had no ambitions to become a social media platform and that Instagram actually thrived post-acquisition. Meta also argued the FTC has not clearly defined the relevant market, especially given competition from platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter), which Meta says all compete for user attention.The company maintains that its products face constant pressure to evolve in response to competitors. If the judge denies Meta's request to end the case now, the trial will continue through June with closing arguments and final briefs expected afterward. A ruling that Meta holds an illegal monopoly would trigger a second trial focused on potential remedies.Meta asks judge to rule that FTC failed to prove its monopoly case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is the second movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1, titled “Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell. Recht gemächlich”, which translates roughly to “Strongly moving, but not too fast. Quite leisurely.” Composed in the late 1880s and premiered in 1889, Mahler's First Symphony marked his audacious entry into the world of symphonic writing. At once expansive and deeply personal, the work fuses Romantic tradition with the beginnings of Mahler's own, modern voice.The second movement—our focus this week—is a rustic Ländler, an Austrian folk dance form, reimagined with orchestral power and emotional complexity. Mahler, who was born in 1860 in what is now the Czech Republic, grew up surrounded by folk tunes and military marches, and these influences saturate this section of the symphony. It opens with swagger and energy, driven by bold rhythms and a sense of physicality, before softening into a slower trio section that offers brief lyrical repose.Though the movement has a lively surface, its contrasting moods reflect Mahler's signature ability to intertwine the playful and the profound. His orchestration here is vivid but never ornamental—every detail serves a dramatic or emotional purpose. Mahler's symphonies often contemplate mortality, memory, and transcendence, but this movement reminds us that he could also be joyful, ironic, and grounded in the sounds of real life.By the time of his death in 1911, Mahler had transformed the symphony into a vessel for existential expression, bridging the 19th and 20th centuries. This movement from his First hints at all that was to come. As our week closes, we leave you with this music—bold, earthy, and unmistakably Mahler.Without further ado, Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1, titled “Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell. Recht gemächlich.” This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Today's podcast features Stephen Calkins, a law professor at Wayne State University in Detroit and former General Counsel of the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”). President Trump recently fired, without good cause, the two Democratic members of the FTC, leaving only two Republican members as commissioners. He did this even though the FTC Act provides that a commissioner may be fired by the President only for good cause and that the commission is to be governed by a bi-partisan 5-member commission This is the third time in the past few weeks that Trump has fired without good cause democratic members of other federal agencies; the other two being the National Labor Relations Board (The “NLRB”) and the Merit Selection Protection Board (The “MSPB”). The statutes governing those two agencies, like the FTC Act, allow the President to fire a member of the governing board for good cause only. The fired members of all three agencies initiated lawsuits in federal district court for the District of Columbia, seeking mandatory preliminary injunctions requiring those agencies to reinstate them with back pay. We discuss the status of the two lawsuits and how the outcome will turn on whether the Supreme Court will apply or overrule a 1935 Supreme Court opinion in Humphrey's Executor, which held that the provision in the Constitution allowing the President to fire an FTC commissioner for good cause only did not run afoul of the separation of powers clause in the Constitution. Conversely, the Supreme Court will need to determine whether the Supreme Court opinion in Seila Law, LLC V. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau should apply to these two new cases. In Seila Law, the Supreme Court held on Constitutional grounds, that the President could fire without good cause the sole director of the CFPB even though the Dodd-Frank Act allowed the President to fire the sole director of the CFPB for good cause only. Until this gets resolved, the FTC will be governed only by two Republican commissioners who will constitute a quorum for purposes of conducting official business. Professor Calkins explains how a Supreme Court ruling in these two new cases upholding Trump's firing of the Democratic members of the agencies could enable the President to fire without good cause members of other multiple-member agencies, like the Federal Reserve Board. We then discuss the status of the following four final controversial FTC rule, some of which were challenged in court: the CARS Rule, the Click-to-Cancel Rule, the Junk Fee Rule, and the Non-Compete Rule. We also discuss the impact of President Trump's Executive Order requiring that all federal agencies, including so-called “independent” agencies, must obtain approval from the White House before taking any significant actions, like proposing or finalizing rules. Then, we discuss the status of enforcement investigations and litigation and whether any of them have been voluntarily dismissed with prejudice by the FTC under Trump 2.0, whether any new enforcement lawsuits been filed, and what they involve. We discuss our expectation that the FTC will be a lot less active in the consumer protection enforcement area during Trump 2.0. We then discuss the impact on staffing because of DOGE-imposed reductions-in-force. Finally, we touch upon the status of pending antitrust enforcement lawsuits. Alan Kaplinsky, former practice group leader for 25 years of the Consumer Financial Services Group and now Senior Counsel, hosts the discussion.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica talks with USA Today reporter Erin Mansfield about the Trump administration's efforts to overhaul and reduce the federal workforce. They discuss the administration's push for greater executive power, the agencies hit hardest by job cuts, and the impact on public services like education and food safety. Erin also explains the legal battles unfolding over these changes, including the significance of the landmark Supreme Court case Humphrey's Executor and the future independence of federal agencies. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:The Federal Workforce Under the Trump Administration: Trump's administration is undertaking dramatic efforts to reshape--and notably reduce--the federal workforce, prompting widespread job insecurity, potential displacements, and structural overhauls throughout the government.Who is Affected by Federal Workforce Reductions: Erin outlines which agencies are most impacted. Socially-oriented agencies—like the Department of Education, Health and Human Services, USDA, and the Environmental Protection Agency—face the brunt of the cutbacks, while national security, law enforcement, and immigration agencies are largely exempt. She clarifies that massive cuts are not equally distributed across all departments. Real-Life Impacts of Workforce Reduction: Jessica and Erin discuss how these changes might touch everyday Americans.

Special edition of the ITM Players Podcast covering Keeneland Thursday, April 24, with Mikee P and Will Humphrey. The Late Pick 5 with the Last 5 races is covered in depth. This podcast is sponsored by Keeneland Racing.

SummaryIn this engaging episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Caleb Talley and Kendall Jasper are joined by Humphrey Chin, founder of CLIPr, who shared how his startup is revolutionizing documentation for police officers. Originally conceived as a tool to pinpoint important moments in any video—serving students, event attendees, and enterprise teams—CLIPr found its true calling during a pivotal accelerator program. After a Bentonville police officer heard Humphrey's pitch, it became clear that law enforcement needed a faster, smarter solution for creating police reports from hours of body cam footage.CLIPr's technology now automatically generates the first draft of a police report from body cam videos, slashing the time officers must spend on paperwork. As Humphrey explains, this means police can focus more on patrol and less on administrative burdens. By integrating seamlessly with body camera providers, CLIPr simplifies uploading, ensures searchability, and maintains accuracy—capturing what's said, not just what's seen.The reception from law enforcement has been overwhelmingly positive. Departments now go straight to discussing pricing, not just possibilities—a clear sign CLIPr solves a real problem. Humphrey hopes this is just the beginning, envisioning future applications for social workers, insurance adjusters, and anyone facing mountains of documentation.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Five Mere ChristiansDevotional: 2 of 5Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. (Luke 6:27)Fannie Lou Hamer had just given birth, but the only cry in the room was her own. Twice now, she had watched her body grow along with her hope, only for her labor pains to usher in death rather than life. And then there were the miscarriages—losses that came so early she never even felt the joy of kicks in her womb.Those losses—coupled with her extreme poverty and slave-like work as a sharecropper in Mississippi in the early 1900s—ensured that Hamer moved through her days in a fog. Until a doctor gave her hope: With surgery, the doctor assured her, all of her infertility problems could go away. Hamer eagerly signed off on the procedure. But after the surgery, Hamer discovered the unthinkable: The doctor had removed her uterus in a complete hysterectomy done without her knowledge or consent. Hamer's dreams of having her own children were now utterly and truly dead.Believe it or not, this was arguably not the most tragic thing to happen to Fannie Lou Hamer who would go on to become one of the most significant civil rights activists in the 20th century, largely responsible for giving African Americans the right to vote. But here's what's remarkable: Whether it was the surgeon, the police who beat her in prison, or the politicians who threatened her life, Hamer is never recorded as speaking a single word of hate against her perpetrators. One time when U.S. Senator Hubert Humphrey proposed an egregiously unjust compromise, Hamer replied, “Senator Humphrey, I'm gonna pray to Jesus for you.” And then she walked out the door as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. followed behind her.Jesus said, “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” Hamer shows us an example of what that looks like and reminds us that we mere Christians glorify God by doing justice without hating the unjust.The world often tells us that doing justice requires that we also publicly shame and “cancel” the unjust. But God calls his people to a different way (see Micah 6:8 and Matthew 5:43-44). So, how can you and I practically do justice without hating the unjust today? First, take a risk to speak out against injustice. As God's ambassador in your workplace, you are called to speak out against injustices respectfully (see Ephesians 5:11). Second, refuse to take revenge against the unjust knowing that vengeance is God's alone (see Romans 12:19).Finally, pray for the unjust per Jesus's example knowing that you, like Christ, will be glorifying your Father in heaven as you do (see Luke 23:34).

This week, Scott sat down with co-hosts emeritus Benjamin Wittes, Quinta Jurecic and Lawfare's new senior legal fellow James Pearce to talk through the week's biggest national security news stories, including:“Midnight Planes Going Anywhere.” The Supreme Court has weighed in on the Trump administration's decision to quickly fly dozens of Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador with little to no meaningful process, holding that those detained had to be provided notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal, but only through habeas in their place of detention. Meanwhile, we are still awaiting the Court's final decision on whether a lower court can direct the executive branch to seek the return of another man who was removed to El Salvador by mistake. What will these decisions mean for the Trump administration's aggressive deportation policies?“All the King's Horses and All the King's Men, Won't Be Able to Put Humphrey's Together Again.” Watchers of the D.C. Circuit may have suffered whiplash this week, as an appellate panel reversed a district court's conclusion that the Trump administration's removal of statutorily protected members of the Merit Service Protection Board and National Labor Review Board was most likely unlawful, only for the panel itself to be reversed in short order by the whole en banc court. The issues now seem clearly poised for review by the Supreme Court. Is Humphrey's Executor and other case law preserving independent agencies toast? Or might the Court stop short of killing independent agencies altogether?“A Duty of Pander.” Attorney General Pam Bondi punished a Justice Department attorney this week after he admitted to a federal court that he had not been provided adequate answers to some of the court's questions. It's the latest in a parade of disciplinary actions accusing attorneys of disloyalty for engaging in candor with the federal courts over the confusion that some of the Trump administration's policies have caused. Is the Attorney General within her rights to crack down on these actions? And what impact will her demand for loyalty have on the Justice Department's relationship with the federal courts?For object lessons, Quinta recommended the movie "Margin Call" as a reflection on the last financial crisis, as we prepare for the next one. Ben brought attention to Russia's brutal and inhumane attack on a children's playground in Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelensky's hometown of Kryvi Rih, which underscores just how committed Russia really is to peace. Scott shared his latest home pizza discovery—a one hour no-knead recipe for pan pizza crust from King Arthur's Baking—as well as his next experiment: an all edge pieces pan pizza. And James gave a double-header object lesson, sharing his participation in the Baker to Vegas footrace and his reading of another story about something even more inhuman: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
